Roland JP8000 vs Promars sawtooth comparison

- (Tech video, not a cover). Just checking if a sawtooth waveform from the virtual analog JP8000 can sound like a real analog (Promars) accurately. And it does the job pretty well. Not the same, but nearly...
Settings:
Roland Promars: 2 Sawtooth waveforms (one per VCO, analog), slightly detuned and a bit filtered.
Roland JP8000: 2 Sawtooth waveforms (Digital VA, one per "Osc"), slightly detuned in the same amount and a bit filtered.
* I was not using the "Super Saw" function, which allows the user to put seven detuned sawtooth waveforms stacked in Osc 1, widely known as being a trance signature resource.
Despite this synth can sound a bit harsh or synthetic sometimes (in a mean of "digital", specially on lower notes depending of filtering, etc), I found out it is capable of great analogue emulations, with the add of those dedicated faders and knobs for realtime control.
I still have my JP8000, when I’m no longer broke I hope to be able to use it again and even post a few videos from it!
This sounds absolutely identical. The engineers of the JP8000 did a great job. 👍
Those JP8000 DSP are really great.
@@DX5I never get my hands on it, but on another legend, the Nord Lead 1. These older virtual analogs were better than we think, today spoiled by VST synthesizers. I sadly sold it years ago, because I thought you can replace everything with software. It's not just the sound that matters, it's the whole device.
@@Klangraum Absolutely. Touching the real thing (even VA) gives you loads of inspiration. I cannot stand with mouse and computer only.
A quick peep on the web says a used JP 8000 now sells for between £400 and £900, depending on condition. While no-one in their right mind would turn down a genuine Promars, I'd happily make do with a JP 8000 given the wider range of things it can do. Good comparison Jose. 👍
Promars is more genuine for sure, but for practical purposes (live performance, different sound palette), the JP series are awesome. You have cross mod, sync, triangle waveform, the infamous supersaw, dual and split keyboard modes, etc :) www.roland.com/global/products/jp-8000/
The JP8000 sounds close to the Promars but a bit aliased on high pitched notes
the sound of detuned sawtooth waves makes me high.
Un crack!
Maybe Roland just put some sampled single cycle waveforms as OSC and called it modelling!
The JP8000 is about DSP's, not a ROMpler, hence cycles are digitally created :-)
This is a nice change of Pace! Great Video!
I love the Promars.
Very interesting.
It sounds great, specially with two VCO (one an octave lower than other) and their respective sub oscillators. Then it becomes a bass monster ;)
@@DX5 True... it's so absurdly thick...
I would like to see your complete collection . Amazing Job.
Proof enough for me Jose!
Rampage!!:-)
