Studio Electronics CODE8 - Mini vs Arp2600 filter

Studio Electronics CODE8 - Mini vs Arp2600 filter by CoolColJ
"A little shootout between the standard Mini 24db low pass filter and the optional Arp2600 24db low pass filter.A single oscillator sawtooth + sub-oscillator used hereThe Mini filter is a bit smooth and tame for high resonance sounds. I much prefer the Arp2600 filter, and should have come as standard for a better all round 24db low pass filter IMO

Shades of Juno106 with ARP2600 filter :)"

"Here is a simple patch among 4 Buchla 200e modules: 259e, 281e, 292e and 206e. No filters, no midi, no sequencer. I’ve created and stored 28 preset variations in the 206e and am merely using a periodic CV to scroll through them.
Here is a higher resolution audio.

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."
