Roland JP 8000 (battery change)

YouTube Published on May 12, 2012 by synthypnosis

"Battery change May 12. 2012, music by Bruno Ender Lee played live with
Roland JP 8000

when the JP 8000 display shows: "BATTERY LOW"...
...open carefully (first remove power cable!)...don't touch battery (CR 2032 3V) and any other parts inside the JP with fingers...............after change my JP 8000 showed: "MEMORY DAMAGED".....in that case: hold [SHIFT], press [INIT/UTIL] several times..."INITIALIZE WRITE", then select with [UP/DOWN]: "Factory Preset"....[WRITE]....now it works perfect"

Roland JP-8000 Organs + patching session

Published on May 11, 2016 synth-love

"My re-discovery of the Roland JP-8000 continues.

This time I create some organ patches. Yes, organs. A sound I despised in my youth now newly appreciated made on the most un-organ of synths - the JP-8000 famous for its massive supersaw leads and pads.

Organs aren't particularly hard to program but I still find them satisfying.

All sounds direct from JP-8000 to recorder. Ignore the Kaoss pad in the background, it is not in use."

Roland JP-8000 Demo

YouTube via DrSqu | July 08, 2010

"Again for some days i've got a synthesizer from a friend in my studio. This time it's Roland JP-8000. I made today a little demo with pure JP-8000 some sounds i programmed. My option is that JP-8000 is nice for softer warm sound, somewhere near to SH-201.

ROLAND JP-8000

via this auction
"Manufacturer Description
The JP-8000 Music Synthesizer has been designed using a first-of-its-kind Roland Analog Modeling sound source, combining the fat, powerful sounds associated with vintage analog synths with the flexibility of digital technology and MIDI. Like the classic Roland analog synths of the past, the JP-8000 sports a collection of 38 front-panel knobs and sliders for powerful real-time control, opening a brand new world of sonic possibilities. Innovative "Motion Control" feature memorizes all sequential slider and knob movements, ensuring that a great real-time "tweak" will not be lost. "Analog" synth functions like oscillator sync, ring modulation, -12/-24 dB filtering, cross modulation, an assignable ribbon controller and powerful pitch bend/modulation lever make the JP-8000 a very powerful synthesizer for live and studio use!"

Roland Boutique JP-08 Control Change Update Jupiter-8 Synthesizer Rik Marston JP8

Published on Nov 28, 2016 SynthgodXXX

"Roland Boutique JP-08 Control Change Update by Rik Marston 100% NO TALKING! Just JP-08!!

Yes they did it. A new update for the Roland JP-08!
Now you can get that "Sweet Spot" from an external
MIDI device / Controller / Keyboard of your choice!!
I am using a Roland GW-8 as MIDI master & tweaking
the patches on the fly! AWESOME! Way better now!!!
I can only imagine using a JD-800 or JP-8000 for this
as a MIDI controller! Anything with sliders or knobs!!
I am going to be purchasing a SECOND JP-08 soon
so I can use the 8 voices to it's fullest!
I love long RELEASE! Pads go on forever in my studio!
So 8 voices is a 'Must Have' for Jupiter-8 Pads... [anyone know if Roland fixed this yet?]

Anyway I qualify for the whole "Jupiter Widow" name.
I have owned a Roland Jupiter-8 (See my video for it)
so I really know how a Jupiter-8 should act & sound...
I believe there is nothing compared to a REAL JUPITER-8,
but baby, they did a GREAT JOB on this unit. Seriously.
It just needs an ELEKTRON ANALOG HEAT to run thru
and you may be closer than ever to a real one..
Just make sure you have a SECOND JP-08 for the full
8 voice Jupiter-8 vibe & a great keyboard to play on.
Again, it's NOT A REAL JUPITER-8, BUT IT SOUNDS
EXCELLENT & gives you what you are looking for...
I am satisfied in my search for a Jupiter-8, I can't
afford a REAL one now, SO THIS WILL DO JUST FINE!
And I can afford TWO!! Hell yeah!!
More videos of the JP-08 chained coming soon!!!

Roland JP-8080 Clipping?

Title link takes you to an interesting post by Don Solaris on Harmony Central regarding the Roland JP-8080 and clipping of its 12db filter. MuzikB was able to reproduce the behavior on a JP-8080, and I was able to somewhat reproduce it on a JP-8000. However, when I did, I was able to tame it by lowering the AMP Level on the JP8000, and I did not hear a difference in regards to clipping between the 12db and 24db filters. Also it only happened on one particular patch for me. Overall I do not get any clipping. My first thought was this kind of makes sense, but then I realized how much I had to turn the amp level down for the particular patch. If you have either a JP-8000 or JP-8080, try it yourself. Check out the thread for more detail.



Some of MuzicB's thoughts (read the thread for more):

"I mentioned the AMP level adjustment to Don earlier but also note that the signal is pretty tame with the occasional amplitude increase into clipping across certain frequencies. You can adjust the AMP level but the jumps still occur. The more I think about it, the more I believe that this isn't a bug or a mistake on Roland's part but that it was made to react this way.

I'll mess around some more tomorrow as it's getting late.

Keep up that great blog matrix!"

I especially like that last thought. : ) Thanks MuzicB!

Update via Don Solaris:
"I would like clear out some things. AMP setting has not much with this issue. The AMP level was at standard 64/127 value. The only thing we can do with AMP is introduce more distortion due its own nonlinearity, but that has nothing to do with the filter overload issue i am talking about. If we take a value of 64 as a standard 0dB gain, when we set it to 127 we are pushing Amplifier into its own nonlinear area which introduces new distortions (due to additional positive gain).

It is a normal thing when you reduced AMP that distortion got lower. But this is true just for values above 64 (say, reducing from 127 to 70). Below 64, you can't reduce the distortion. If you don’t believe me, do the following: Reduce AMP level below 50 and increase the main volume. You will hear distortion is still present. Or try another one. Put AMP level to max and Main level to low, play a note, you will hear distortion. Now put AMP level to low and Main level to high value - distortion is still here. (Please use headphones).

I think this should be also stated in Matrixsynth blog (which i enjoy reading) as people might think they can solve this issue by reducing AMP level. Unfortunatley that is just not possible as AMP is located post filter. And we should not confuse AMP's own distortion (due to its own nonlinearity), with this filter overload issue.

Keep up the good work Matrix, and thanks for putting this on synthblog."

No problem. Thanks Don.
