Do you think the Roland Fantom (2019) with it's Jd800 and D50 can have such a good sound ? i always thought the preamp and perhaps converters and maybe some sort of exciter contributed to the sound. You do say it in the video about the converters but i wondered if you had compared it yourself ? Ps: maybe one of Roland last great digital synths and the analog kind of sounds are so good ...
Yeah I think you're right. There's definitely something in the output stage of the early Roland digital synths that made them sound 'richer' and more dynamic than their later digital synths. I bought the JV-80 synthesizer in 1992, which had a very similar synth engine to the JD-800, but with different samples more suitable for multi-timbral use. It had a 'presence' slider on it that gave it a more pronounced high-end and bass. I think it was more than just a simple EQ. After a key broke I switched to the XP-50 synthesizer that had just come out then (which has the same synth engine as the JV-1080 module). Although this had most of the same samples and sounds from the JV-80, I didn't find it sounding quite as rich and dynamic as the JV-80 did.
@@AndyWhitmore I can understand a lot of people will remember the JD800/990 for this, but I thought it was a preset... apparently not! I could not find a video about making the patch.
Old digital synths are great - but they are easier to replicate than analog synths - but I do like the fact that the synth switches on & plays - where as i had the Wavestation as a virtual synth - but had to pay £300 when I upgraded the Mac then when I upgraded again - I went & bought the stand alone unit - 2nd hand for £400! - Guess what - 2 years later - it still works!
Still annoyed about the sequencer because wen you want to do your own stuff the . Grunts. Keep coming in. So I use midi it aturia b step .. it’s definitely a no buy. But I’ve already bought it
Excellent playing! I always love when a person testing presets knows where they want to take each sound to feature it.
Glad you like it!
3:49 (Spun Glass) - This beautiful preset has been used on Genesis song - "Hold On My Heart", layered with pad sound from Korg Wavestation!
Thanks for pointing out!!
Nice demo! I really like this synth...just scared of the red glue issue. It sounds killer! Great playing.
No problems with mine!
Cool synth
Thank you for the compliment!
at the beginning, it sounded like 808 pacific state, i was just expecting the synth sax to start playing :)
Watch this space- I have a video of 100 famous synth riffs on the original synths coming up soon!! Thanks for watching!!
Just to let you know it's your fault I just bought one yesterday ;-)))) couldn't be happier with the choice. Always wanted one anyways.
Enjoy! Glad u wanted it that bad!! How’s it going?
Preset #75 - Velo Crunch is one of the main leads Kevin Moore used on Dream Theater’s early albums
Absolutely correct - Thanks for watching - 😃👍😎
Cool yes but where did you get that Oberheim shirt. I seriously need that in my life. Cheers !!! 🥂
Thanks- it was a present from one of my engineers!!

3:23 this sounds like metallic madness past
That’s what we do!!
@@AndyWhitmore wait that was intended?!?
@@DubiousDepthsRadio no - i was just jamming!
@@AndyWhitmore ow okkk
How is the famous pizzicato sound programmed?
I'll come back to you!

You're talking to the wrong camera mate.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll make sure to double-check my camera angles next time!
