AVP MAD-5 drum synth jam

Published on Nov 2, 2017 Single Use

"Jam session demoing the AVP MAD-5 analog drum synthesizer. The MAD-5 is going straight to my mixer with no effects applied. The synth has 5 drums: kick, snare, open hi-hat, closed hi-hat and clap. It rocks.

The bass is from a Pittsburgh SV-1 Blackbox with a small amount of Reon Driftbox in there too.

Recorded on my Nexus 5.

Cheers"

Roland Boutique Morning Jam- SH-01A and SE-02 polysynth and mono synth

Published on Nov 2, 2017 Expanding Sound

"Just having a little fun as I woke up this morning with the Roland boutique series. They are quite a blast. I used the Roland SE-02 and SH-01A. I made the SE-02 just a touch out of tune as I liked the way it vibes with the SH-01A. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed!"

Roland Discontinues the Jupiter-80 and Jupiter-50 Ahead of NAMM 2018

Not sure when this happened, but it appears the Roland Jupiter-80 and Jupiter-50 have been discontinued. Atomic Shadow wrote in to let me know he noticed that they were missing from Roland's current product line-up. I did a quick search, and sure enough I found the old pages with them listed as discontinued, as you can see in the images to the left. You can find the pages here: Jupiter-80 | Jupiter-50. It's worth noting the rackmount Integra-7 has not been discontinued.

The news makes me wonder what Roland might be introducing at NAMM this year. Roland isn't big on mkII models, so I would expect something relatively new to cover the space they left, if anything at all. It will be interesting to see what they follow up with.
