Roland JX-3P brilliance and resonance after VCF resonance trim pot boost

video by thesrabbit

"Recently MIDERA published an interesting JX-3P vs the System-8 Plug-out comparison here: [see this post]

Many have commented that his JX-3P sounds a lot brighter than the plug-out. I have to agree, but I think that maybe mine does as well. Does my JX-3P sound that different from his? Here are some samples that more or less align with the sounds he plays in the first 5 minutes of the video.

Since there has been some discussion about the brilliance, I have included samples at 100%, 50%, and 0% brilliance.

It should be noted that I recently adjusted the VCF resonance trim pots to approx 850 mVp using the 3P's Test Mode 5, A2, as described in the service manual. Factory spec is 600 mVp. Though mine were all between 660 and 680 mVp before I started tweaking. I will be publishing a full walkthrough of that process in the near future. After doing this little exercise, I may decide to boost it even more. Then again, these examples all feature just a single sawtooth from DCO-1. When you add DCO-2 to the mix it definitely drives the filter a bit harder and can produce some squelch. I think I still might want more though.

Also, I realize that this video has the potential for many dislikes as I unfortunately don't have a Roland Cloud subscription or System-8 to compare against. It's meant to be compared side by side with MIDERA's video."

WaveRex & Korg Classics - How to use your own samples in a Korg Wavestation or M1

https://lfo.store/product-category/ha...


Story:

The M1 and the Wavestation both truly changed the world of synthesizers! With its completely new sounds which have never been heard before, it has changed not only a whole music scene, but has probably shaped the entire decade of the 90s.

30 years have passed since KORG released its prototype 731 at NAMM in 1988. Shortly after this release, the M1 Music Workstation was introduced. Thankfully the M1 fans would like to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

30 years later: The wait has finally come to an end.

Is it possible to link the M1 to the concepts and technologies of the 21st century so that the unique sounds can be preserved in future?

We have made it possible to upload your own samples and waveforms into the M1 and Wavestation! WaveReX® is an USB card similar to the regular PCM cards for the PCM DATA slot. Just upload your own samples to the WaveReX® Card and create your own multisounds or drumsets. This enables you to explore entirely new sound dimensions. No limits!

Use PCM-samples or Single Cycle Waveforms (DWGS) – everything is possible! Simply compile your own, new card and upload it via USB onto the card.

Use waveforms from Kawai K1, K3, K4 or 5000, PPG Waves oder the analog classic (Moog, Roland, KORG, SC and many more. WaveReX® is your solution!"
