Roland JP-8000 Demo | Roland JP 8000 Programming Session

YouTube Uploaded by VisceralVoids on Aug 4, 2011

"Starting from a patch I made, looking for sounds on the JP-8000 getting lost along the way. I was looking for a sound and found it after this recording was made.

I am using the 12db band-pass filter alot, as well as the 24db low-pass sometimes to find the base of a sound. Sometimes I use RPS to get sound ideas when going during this rough programming session. Once I got the JP to sound like a CR-78 beat but I made a mistake and ended up not saving it like a JP-8000 noob.

JP-8000 tricks:
In the performance options you can detune the parts from one another aside from the detuning that goes on in the oscillators. So I have both parts stacked like this with polyphony set to 4-4 in the performance options. This gives you four oscillators and four LFOs. LFO 2 is tied to the mod stick and I have not even set it up yet in this video. One thing I have not tried is the splittable arpeggiator. I used the supersaw on alot of this video.

The DVD Owner's Manual is worth checking out, it will also give you a good ideas on how to program sounds you want.

Velocity assign and ribbon assign are two more insane things about this synth, and I am still learning many of its features. For example you can assign PWM Shape to the ribbon controller or velocity. The manual is easy to understand and it's where I learned about the performance part options that can be detuned and set seperate from the oscillators altogether. This is how you can get four different LFOs or two different arpeggiators happening.

Final thoughts:
Many synths have an interface that blocks you from attacking the impulse to edit sounds - with the JP-8000 I feel you can really create patches easily. I thought the JD-800 was great for electronic music but the JP-8000 is incredible in this regard. It is more more modern and aggressive than the beautiful digital JD-800. Within a day of starting to learn programming on the JP-8000 I made once of my favorite synth sounds from a 1981 Genesis song, which is the first patch used in this video.

Roland's JP-8000 is very good for 80's, progressive, electronic, ambient, hardstyle or hardcore techno, industrial or dance, or wild experimental synth sounds."

"Straight from 1997, this is the turn key Roland JP-8000 of your dreams. Surely it must be the coolest, resto-mod worldwide and ready for a choice studio. Sitting at it sparks immense inspiration and pleasure from its buttery action, even voicing, and electric blue lighting! It’s been a four-month restoration journey which began on Nov.1, 2019, getting it fine-tuned for its next life venture and I can assure you it is ready to be a landmark of your setup, impressing anyone lucky enough to tickle its ivories. This is a totally unique, one of a kind, JP-8000. I’ve never seen another JP-8000 with all blue led lights and display screen, let alone one masterfully restored to this extent.

Anyone who does a little research on used units knows that the JP-8000 has now reached its “end of life” phase. There are many of these units selling online, primarily from Japan, with low or uneven volume coming from the audio outputs at the rear (from defective capacitors), no audio output at all, broken or uneven keys, memory damaged battery failure, popping sounds when the faders or rotary potentiometers are moved, clacking key beds, yellowed keys, push-buttons that don’t work, etc. At a bare minimum every used JP-8000 really needs all of the polar electrolytic capacitors replaced, because they have a pre-designed life expectancy that has since expired. It isn’t just some used units that need new caps, they ALL need them.

This project was aimed at fully restoring the keyboard action and circuit internals with no expenses spared to provide new life to a dying legacy. All of the wearable items were refreshed. Another goal was making something totally unique and different from all other JP-8000 units. With the upgraded components used this keyboard should last 50 years without needing repairs if it’s covered when not in use, isn’t abused, dropped, or spilled on. This is the definitive JP-8000 resto-mod!

Notification for international buyers: This is a genuine 117VAC unit originally sold in North America. If you would like this unit converted to 100VAC or 230VAC before shipping it to you I can do so. It’s as simple as re-soldering 1 wire on the internal multi-primary coil transformer. No other modifications are necessary as the 100V, 117V, and 230V models all use the same exact power supply boards, filtering, and capacitor sizes. The only change you will need is a power cable with the correct plug type for your wall receptacle. I can supply the power cable for you or can refer you to where you can buy one post-sale. This means you can use the keyboard in your country without needing an external transformer! This synthesizer is truly plug-and-play for any buyer worldwide."

Roland JP-8080 JP-8000 JP8000 demo

Published on Jan 28, 2020 Polyvox Style

Supersaws... Roland introduced the supersaw waveform with the JP-8000.

via Wikipedia:

"The supersaw is a waveform created by Roland for their JP-8000 and JP-8080 line of analog modeling synthesizers. It emulates the sound of multiple sawtooth oscillators using a single oscillator. The waveform is described as a freerun oscillator whose shape resembles 7 sawtooth oscillators detuned against each other over a period of time.[3][4]

Since production of the JP-8000 ceased, several companies have incorporated "supersaw-like" oscillator algorithms into their hardware and software synthesizers. SUPERWAVE P8 is an example of a software synthesizer inspired by the architecture of the JP-8000, with its multiple sawtooth oscillators. Another is the Supersaw Plus, which has a JP-8000-style interface and a variation on the supersaw waveform that provides 2, 4, 6 or 10 oscillators. In 2005, Access Music released the TI-line of synthesizers, which feature an oscillator type called Hypersaw that is similar to Roland's supersaw oscillator. Roland also continues to produce other synthesizers, such as the SH-201, the SH-01, the Roland V-Synth, and the Roland V-Synth XT that have the supersaw oscillator type. The supersaw gained popularity in electronic dance music, especially with its use in hardcore and trance music."

Roland JP-8000 Supersaw + Arturia Rev Plate-140 [No Talking]

Published on Dec 25, 2019 Marshal Arnold

"Tonight, I demo the Roland JP-8000 and it's legendary Supersaw. I have created a custom Epic Trance style Supersaw on the JP-8000 witch uses 2 layers packed full of Supersaws.

I've ran the Roland JP-8000 through external effects. I've used the stock delay in Ableton and the very excellent Arturia Rev Plate-140 reverberation unit.

This video is in preparation for a big Supersaw show down I'm working on. Look for it early 2020 on this channel. it will be the OG Roland JP-8000 vs 4 other wonderful synthesizers and their take on Supersaws.

Roland sh201 patch creation part1

Published on Oct 1, 2016 synth-love

"An exploration of the Roland sh-201 synthesizer. Includes the sh201 supersaw.

Various thoughts on the sh-201 (especially vs the jp 8000)

Short version, if you can get a JP-8000 there is little reason to buy the sh-201. However, the sh-201 is a great synth and not as crippled as it may appear. Nearly all parameters are accessible from the synth via various key combinations.

The sound is different with the sh-201 being a bit more raw to my ears. The JP-8000 sounds smoother. The sh-201 has a lot of aliasing on high notes. It did not show up in normal use but interesting for testing purposes. If I had to guess I would think that perhaps the sh-201 has parts of the audio path and/or dsp that are cheaper than the jp-8000. This gives bad sound in the high notes but actually makes the mid-range sound very nice and raw.

The envelopes seems tuned a bit strange - hard to get the right feel and seems to be a bit of dead space on the filter env amount slider.

It is very hard to come to a judgement on the sh-201 supersaw vs. the jp-8000. I have recorded some video to address this in particular.

The sh-201 distortion/overdrive is very useful but not like the jp8080 distortion. The jp8080 rack distortion is much more flexible. The jp8000 has no distortion at all.

The reverb is nice but I would take the JP-8000 chorus + delay over it. I feel I could get similar reverb elsewhere. The JP-8000 delay and chorus are special. The sh-201 delay can be made to give chorus and it does widen the sound nicely.

It is easy to double the patch memory by programming separate sounds for the upper and lower tone. I was not aware of an easy way on the sh-201 to make arbitrary pairings for splits and layers though.

The synth is very light. Construction seems ok - mine had an issue where the mod lever would activate itself and could only be fixed by a reboot. I only had the synth for a few weeks and did not attempt to fix it.

Also of note, the random and sample and hold LFO's are nice but slower than the JP-8000. I could not achieve a nice noise-lfo type sound with the fastest modulation."

JP-8000: More vintage synth emulations

Published on Aug 5, 2018 wedream2

"Here is a another sampling of original patches and performances I programmed on the JP-8000. Of the 120 patches and 57 performances programmed, most are emulations of vintage analog synths.
In this part 2, there is no talking. Each sound is identified with a shot of the LCD screen, followed by a demonstration. Some of the patches with "JU60" in the title, are re-creations of the Juno 60 factory sounds. Some of the OB-8 sounds are similarly named. Performances in most cases are named as a conjunction of 2 patches."

And one for the Roland JP-8080:


Published on Mar 25, 2019 wedream2

"Here is a selection of sounds from among the 128 patch programs and 64 performance programs I created for the JP-8080. Building upon my previous work on the JP-8000 (analogue emulations), I've improved many of those sounds and added entirely new ones on the JP-8080. Best heard with headphones, as several sounds oscillate in the stereo field. All programs will be available for download from the Roland JP-8000/8080 Facebook user's group."

Roland JP-8000 Vintage Analog Modeling

via this auction

Roland's first virtual analog synth.

via Wikipedia: "The Roland JP-8000 was released in early 1996 as part of the first wave of virtual analog modeling synthesizers (VA synths). Others from that period included the Clavia Nord Lead (1995), Korg Prophecy (1995), Access Virus (1997) and Yamaha AN1x (1997). While the functionality, sound, and architecture of the JP-8000 differs from these other synthesizers, it shared the same purpose of recreating the unique sound and functionality of classic analog synths. The JP-8000 was viewed at the time as the modern incarnation of the classic Roland Jupiter-8, from 1981. The programming interface and synthesis options are very similar to Roland Jupiter-6 as well. The JP-8000 sought to reproduce the warm tonalities and sheer analog power of its older, bigger brothers, of course with a modern slant, adding all kinds of features, from motion control, to RPS, to the fabled Super Saw oscillators and old-school controllers such as an arpeggiator and an assignable touch response ribbon control..."

Roland JP-8000 - trancy signature sound of the 90ies

video upload by synthlegends

"The Roland JP-8000 came out 1997 as the first VA-Synth of Roland. It had the very famous super saw waveform on board, a saw consisting of 8 saw waves slightly detuned, which is adjustable with a fader in live performance. It also had a very distinctive digital delay and chorus plus equalizer, which gave the synth its typical signature sound. The JP-8000 was the style maker für trance music. Still today it is very sought after and Behringer just made a small clone named JT-4000 for only EUR 49,--.

The JP-8000 doesn't sound like an analog synth at all. The resonance of the filter sounds very cold, there is a lot of aliasing, the tone can sound quite harsh and industrial, nevertheless with the super saw and a lot of internal delay you get very powerful pads and dreamy textures out of it. This synth is difficult to compare with others. Maybe a bit with the VA engine of the V-Synth, although I find the V-Synth in this respect inferiour.

In this video I start with some own created split sounds I used in my last band, it is followed by some solo sounds and arpeggiated lines. It ends with some trancy pad sounds.

The effects are great on the JP-8000, nevertheless I used only very little of reverb of the GFI Sepcualar reverb. Beside this, there is no additional processing.

Enjoy the video and have fun!"
