Thanks for this and the one on the JU-06. There's not enough info out there on sound design/creation, and those that usually know how to do this, don't articulate it very well for the average joe, whereas you explained in plain english and in a way that I gained more knowledge on this subject in 20 min watching you, than I have in the last decade combined. Thanks again!
Robin Spiers Cool! You will enjoy that. :) I have a Deepmind 12 module, so I don’t think a JU-06A would benefit me much. Currently I’m considering a (second hand) JX-03 or a new SE-02.
I'm not much of a great synth programmer personally but this tutorial is PERFECT for beginners and also to people who have just bought a JP-08 (me). I love this thing man, you can clearly see how you can quickly get to otherworldly sounds fairly quickly with the modulation capabilities. This has gotta be the best synth in its price range. Love it.
Yes I made it specifically for beginners thank you I love my jp08! Isn't it great? There may be naysayers about the boutiques but to me I forget every time I use it that it's digital!!! The other boutiques are each amazing!
Thank you Ron C. I was recently thinking of putting my JP-08 onto the 'auction E-graveyard', but... then again... I just watched your excellent video, which reminds me, that despite its incredible 4-voice limitation (a Roland *uninspired* moneygrab as far as I'm concerned), there is still something very special about the JP-08. I've realised too, that if I sold my JP-08, I would surely have seller's remorse. So soon enough, I will just have to take it out of its box, make peace with its limitations, and basically reacquaint myself with it, on friendly synth loving terms, while waving the white flag in the direction of all its many positives. Anyone else feeling the same degree of ambivalence, before eventually realising that there is *still* something great about the JP-08?
Tremain W Apart from the SE-02 the JP is my favourite boutique. Having owned a Jupiter 8 back in the day (and virtually giving it away in the mid 90’s.....I know, I know) in my studio setup it sounds just as good. More polyphony would be most welcome though!!! 🕶🎶✌🏻
Dumb question but can you layer sounds on this thing? Like add a sequence of notes, then another on a different pattern and they’ll play simultaneously, on top of each other?
It is not multitimbral like that. That's the term what you're looking for. Boutiques are single synths each so you'd have to buy more than one and get a sequencer for that.
U made a good and very descriptive vdo. From my little experience I think 'Key follow' add an interesting timbre to sound more than what manual said. They said it just shorten envelop for higher pitch but i play it few times. Its not sound like that but cool feature to experiment , though.
After writing your sequence, hold down DUAL and press the number key of the desired destination for the sequence. The manual actually omits this information.
you can create noise with this thing but useful noise ? play an actual melody during any of that experimental part and you couldnt name that tune with the whole song played
Of course I can make a melody with it. I just wanted to show it's crazy side, how it can go into strange places. I hoped that would have been obvious. If you're looking for melody look at my jp08 demos.
@@RonCavagnaro yeah when i try to make anything happen it sounds much more like your experimental portion or even worse and i'm not in love with the presets though they sound better than anything i can make on it and on the thing you recommend you're using other equipment to feed the notes way more than you could do on its own no?
@@stevenwhite8936 look into sequencers. They're awesome. You can make very melodic tones just make the lfo amount far less and turn down the cross feedback
Very helpful. Thanks! Just picked 1 up & I think it sounds great? I'm just learning synthesis. 1 question. If you are using 2 units for the extra 4 voices is everything else also doubled??
Whoa! Check out this improvised ambient demo of the jp08!!! ruclips.net/video/ozyYgDBAzyY/видео.html

Robin Spiers Be aware Roland has recently released a new version of the JU-06 called the JU-06A.
@@skullhqx got the JU-06A a few weeks ago, it's awesome!

@@skullhqx SE-02 sounds awesome, would love to get it but can't buy everything, or...lol
@Robin Spiers So... I just ordered an SE-02 after I got a coupon to get 10% off. If it arrives tomorrow it will be a great weekend. :)
SO HELPFUL! Thanks a lot for this great tutorial. This little synth has way more features than we think 😎

just got my jp and ju, thanks for the overview on both, superrrrr straight forward and great tutorial. thanks my g
nice overview.. it's my favorite boutique synth so far :)
This is much more helpful than the JP-08 manual. Thanks for doing this.
Nice demo... Great for experimental sounds!
Awesome tutorial. Best one out there.
very helpful, thx

DON'T THINK I DON'T SEE THAT COMPUTER KEYBOARD
Nice to see i'm not the only musician who likes some good backlighting.
The REAL Silim Sahdy I use a hybrid setup daw for easy routing, and recording. I'm not trying to hide it
Ron Cavagnaro Looks like a pretty awesome setup, it's a dream for a guy like me to be able to have something like that. Much respect!
The REAL Silim Sahdy I work very hard to be able to get this stuff but also you'd have to have a lot of free time and space alone to figure it out
Super helpful. Thank you
👍👍
Top tutorial!
Great tutorial!
how do you save patches on a PC and how you open external patches? Cheers
Dumb question but can you layer sounds on this thing? Like add a sequence of notes, then another on a different pattern and they’ll play simultaneously, on top of each other?
It is not multitimbral like that. That's the term what you're looking for. Boutiques are single synths each so you'd have to buy more than one and get a sequencer for that.
@@RonCavagnaro cheers. But having two should work right? They have built in sequencers ... then hook em all up to a mixer and blend
@@henrikpersson4698 if you want to do it that way yes make sure midi is synched between them
U made a good and very descriptive vdo. From my little experience I think 'Key follow' add an interesting timbre to sound more than what manual said. They said it just shorten envelop for higher pitch but i play it few times. Its not sound like that but cool feature to experiment , though.
I see thanks for mentioning it
hi there ! how do you et to "no patch" ( - - ) on your screen ?
Hmmmm I think just pressing manual will change all parameter to what is set on the front faders knobs
Thank you again :)
Awesome
wow best tutorial on the site. what about saving patches???
I think you just hold down the preset and it blinks and saves. As far as I know
After writing your sequence, hold down DUAL and press the number key of the desired destination for the sequence. The manual actually omits this information.
you can create noise with this thing but useful noise ? play an actual melody during any of that experimental part and you couldnt name that tune with the whole song played

Thanks for the nice comment! In regards to the question, I have no idea sorry I only own one :) maybe search forums about it?
Ron Cavagnaro OK. ..thanks!
Hi. I am a guitarist. Is the JP-08 what Edward Van Halen used on "Sunday Afternoon In The Park/One Foot Out The Door?"
Omg! Check out the now discontinued limited edition Roland boutique ju06!!! ruclips.net/video/BzNvbKfG6BU/видео.html
