Boss SE-50 Stereo Effects Processor Demo SE50

YouTube via zibbybone
"Quick demo running through the presets of this early 90's fx unit. I have a simple sequence playing on a Roland HS-80 (Alpha Juno 2 with speakers) using an unfiltered saw wave without chorus running into the left channel and a couple of preset patterns from a Roland TR-626 Rhythm Composer in the right channel. There are some algorithms (such as Stereo Mixer and "x" + "y") that have seperate parameters and/or effects for each channel. In Vocoder mode, the HS-80 acts as carrier signal and drum machine as modulator. Using half the width of a single rack space, this compact unit is great for live situations. With a street price of $400 back then, the SE-50 gave a lot of bang for the buck."

MySynthFetish HS80 Select Patches

Published on Apr 19, 2015 The Outsider

"This video offers a preview 14 of the 64 sounds I programmed for the Roland HS-80, although they are compatible with the Alpha-Juno 2 and MKS-50.

(The sysex is available via the link at the end of this description)

Crappily improvised live, recorded into Logic Pro X through Mackie Onyx 1602i mixer, with a bit of effects from a Sony HR-MP5. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Look, I programmed the sounds dry, but 90% of the time play with effects on my sounds because: Yes, you do. And, I thought of playing all 64 sounds, but after the first few I realized I was already past 5 minutes, so... 14 will do.

The story behind this particular HS-80 is a rather interesting one, and can be found here:
Part 1: http://mysynthfetish.tumblr.com/post/...
Part 2: http://mysynthfetish.tumblr.com/post/...
Part 3: http://mysynthfetish.tumblr.com/post/...

Patches used:
1-1 GrowlyBass. Pretty much what the name implies.
1-2 Muster. Inspired by Das Muster (who is a JU-2 genius).
1-3 LongPWMpad. No surprises here. Long. PWM. Pad.
1-5 SickStrings. Typical Juno strings, but with seasickness.
1-6 Brass Swell. Though not all that brassy. Low notes are nice.
1-8 PolySynth3. Common 80s polysynth sound? Hmm. Ok.
2-1 ScubaSweep. Inverted envelope trickery.
2-4 DarkFuture. Late 70s Sci-Fi feeling? Brassy? Ominous.
2-5 StepSeqMe. Quick, sharp sound in need of sequencing.
2-6 WeirdNoise. Noisy, resonant weirdness.
2-8 ChoiKowai. Means "A bit scary" in Japanese. Very modulated.
5-3 Zukunft3. Step sequence sound?
5-4 Zukunft4. Low pad filter sweep-ish sound?
5-5 BldRnrBras. Might make Vangelis happy. Maybe.

5-3 and 5-4 are modeled after sounds in Anthony Rother's track Zukunft off the excellent LP Netzwerk Der Zukunft.

Roland HS-10 with MKS-80 VCF

via this auction

"It's basically a redesigned version of the famous JUNO 1. This is a nice analog synth that is not too big or heavy. It weighs 11 lbs and has 49 keys and features a warm sounding analog filter, the same one used on the later revision of the famous super jupiter rack, known for its signature clean and tight bass. The 'brilliance' parameter creates a very nice filter sweeping effect, and the alpha dial allows for easy editing. There's a 'chord memory' feature which I could not get to work (it lights up and I think I'm using it right) - which seems to be this synths only functional drawback. The volume slider is incredibly smooth given it's age, and the LCD backlight is still very functional. You can get great quality sounds out of the HS-10 and I believe it's a worthy synth to use as a main analog board, or to expand upon an existing collection."

The filter chip is the IR3I05 used in the MKS-80 rev 2, JX-8P, JX-10 and MKS-70 (see analog.no for Roland ICs). The MKS-80 rev 1 and Jupiter-6 used the IR3109 along with the Juno-6, Juno-60, JX-3P, and Jupiter-4. Also see this post on the JX-3P & MKS-30 filters.

Roland HS-60 / Juno-106 SN 540181

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Roland HS-60 is IDENTICAL to the Juno 106 but it has onboard speakers, HOW COOL! Same circuit boards, voice chips, everything. You've heard it and you know how good they sounds and now you need it in your arsenal. Super lush, deep strings, sweeps, filters, effects, organs, AND it is fully equipped with midi so you can run it with your modern digital setup. This one is made in May of 1985.

Its in nice shape with next to no wear. The 80's graphics look fantastic. There is a little wear here an there but nothing much. You can see from the pictures how clean it is. There are no scratchy pots for they have been cleaned. All of the black coating was removed from all voice chips and sound fantastic. New blue LED's, because they look awesome. The numeric display, the "A" preset LED and one of the chorus' were kept red. I think it looks cooler with a mix of both colors. The original battery has been replaced with a new one and a socket so if the battery ever goes out, just pull the battery and pop a new one in. The 2-prong power socket has been updated to a universal 3-prong socket. This one is road ready and needing to see some stage and studio action."

New Alpha Editor - Roland Alpha Jono Series Editor for iPad

iTunes: Alpha Editor - Lachlan Mooney

Update: video posted here.

"Alpha Editor is an editor and patch library app for the Roland Alpha Juno synthesiser family. It provides direct access to all of the Alpha Juno’s patch parameters through a clear and reactive touch based interface.

Alpha Editor is a MIDI based app; it uses MIDI to communicate with your Alpha Juno. In order to do so, it requires a coreMIDI compatible adaptor or a connection to a Mac or PC that provides MIDI capabilities.

Alpha Editor is compatible with the Roland Alpha Juno 1 & 2, MKS-50 and HS-80. It is intended to only be used in conjunction with one of these synthesisers: it does not double as a generic MIDI controller and it does not produce any sound by itself.

Features:

Create, edit, manage and save Alpha Juno patches on your iPad
Organise your patches into banks
Load patches from the Alpha Editor to your Alpha Juno
Load the current patch from your Alpha Juno to the Alpha Editor
Create random patches
Ships with 5 banks (320 patches) of presets"

DJ Lace - This video tape

YouTube Uploaded by canmarcvancouver on Apr 12, 2011

"Mixed on April 12th 2011 at Canmarc in Vancouver BC with a DM4800 console & Yamaha HS 80 monitors.

Produced with the following hardware:

Roland TR-808, Roland TR-33, Univox JR5, Korg KR55, Sequential Circuits Pro-1 (w/Doepfer a190-2), 360 systems midibass, Kurzweil k2000, Kawai SX-210, Akai Ax60, Korg DW6000, Ensoniq ESQ-1, Oberheim Matrix 6, Sequential circuits Prophet 5, Deltalab DL-5 harmonicomputer, Korg DVP-1, Intersound RV100, Systech 4000A, Roland RE-20, and a quad 2.6ghz XP pc running the following:


Ableton live 8 for all midi sequencing and audio recording
Vegas 10 for all video loops & post render.
MidividGPU Hardware accelerated Midi controlled video module for realtime clip triggering & pre mix render.
Wavelab/SSL Duende for audio mastering.

Production Notes:

The 808 is the backbone of the composition. It runs synched in song mode for the whole track.

The KR-55 has a midi trigger mod. The TR-33 and Univox Jr-5 cannot be synched so they were sampled.

The pro-1 is layered with the 360 midibass. The Seinfeld slap is also from the 360. The 60s reverb tail on the bassline is from the intersound spring reverb.

The systech is used to flange the KR-55 in various parts of the song.

The chorus bells are the Korg DW6000 and Ensoniq ESQ-1 Layered together.

"Pay attention" is my voice through the Korg DVP-1 vocoder and stretched in Ableton.

The Deltalab harmomicomputer is used to pitch modulate the effects send of the female lead vocal in the bridge.

The "80s" reverb on the main 808 drum mix is from the TC electronics engine in the DM4800.

The prophet 5 is used to make the filtered counter melody in the bridge, and the climbing synth at the end of the bridge.

The Kawai sx-210 is used for the main melody in the bridge using the synth internal chorus & slightly notched to fit with the female vocal.

The big string chorus line is from the K2000. The ping pong delayed organ riffs are from the matrix 6.

The "Hey" are my voice sampled from another one of my tracks, with the RE-20 doing pitched tape delay effects.

The final Mix is 31 tracks wide spread over two layers on the dm-4800."
