"This listing is for a Roland Boutique JP-08. This was our third JP-08 module purchased for our studio to poly chain with our other two JP-08 modules. Unfortunately we never got around to trying the idea and this JP-08 has remained in its box since the day we received it.
This unit was only removed from its box and tested to make sure all the functions work prior to this listing. It has not been used otherwise for any recording or production. This item will be shipped to you in the exact immaculate condition as shown in the many pictures we have taken of this unit which is rather gorgeous to look at once you turn it on and see the faders light up.
*Yes it also includes the factory batteries from Roland so you can have fun right out the box!"
"Plug in for SCSI port which expands the internal memory (four times original memory) of the original EPS sampling keyboard/workstation (13 bit). With this expander, this allows as much 167 seconds of sample time the RAM."
"Demo of the Korg Wavestation EX digital vector / wavesequencing synthesizer. This Korg Wavestation EX synth demo features various sounds, presets, pads, textures, wavesequences and ambient soundscapes.
Released in 1990, the Korg Wavestation is an advanced vector synthesis synthesizer which allows for morphing of sounds between four points via the joystick. It also features wavesequencing, which enables short segments of sampled audio to be played sequentially and cross-faded into each other for more complex sounds.
The Korg Wavestation is well known for creating lush ambient pads, soundscapes, cinematic sounds, textures and strange effects. It also features a digital filter, multi-effects and enables you to get deep into sound editing, although there is a lot of menu-diving involved.
In 1991 Korg released the upgraded Wavestation EX, which added 150 more waveforms (4MB) including acoustic instruments and drums, plus 8 additional multi-effects: Mod Pitch Shift-Delay, Stereo Compressor-Limiter/Gate, Vocoder, Overdrive and Distortion effects, transposable keyboard and MIDI implementation and control.
In 2020, Korg announced the Wavestate, which is the successor to the Wavestation and features more hands-on control via knobs, more functionality, and upgraded wavesequencing with full control of each parameter. The Korg Wavestate expands on the Korg Wavestation's heritage in a significant way, and brings it into the modern era.
Nonetheless, Korg Wavestations can still be found for decent prices on the second-hand market, and still sound great to this date. If you are interested in cinematic sounds, ambient music, pads, and lush soundscapes, the Korg Wavestation is certainly worth considering."
