Hi if you have I little time please can you tell me what sound or instrument do the use in this tracks here am searching non stop and can't find any source am not I familiar with music history m.ruclips.net/video/L4WkTqie85k/видео.html And m.ruclips.net/video/MQu0-So8PJU/видео.html I will be greatfull ❤
@@RobBob555 A simple google search shows that it isn't "utter shit'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_JV-1080 So while not all of them were developed by an American, most of the well-known presets were.
It's in the fingers. Automatic. But the issue I will ask: How can U call at 4:20 'PWM Strings' and at 5:25 'Pulse Pad'? After the D50 there was no real PWM anymore, because these necessary "virtual analog" waves from the D50 were just sampled fakes. You can still do a lot with them though, but no PWM. Get real.
I just played mine for about 6 straight hours. There's just so many sounds. It's really neat to stumble across sounds on it that you recognize from other places. This thing is all over Goldeneye 64.
The fun fact is that I own those two modules and I can tell you for a fact that he used more the Emu Proteus on the soundtrack more than anything else, have a good day. ;)
For video game music fans out there, the patch 'Pure Tibet' is prominently used in the Playstation 1 game 'Exhumed' for the levels called 'Amun Mines, Cavern of Peril, and Sunken Palace of Knuhm.' :)
I was rather impressed by the JV-1080 just as a GM source. When I didn't have time to really look into it, I set it to GM mode and played some MIDI files through it and found it quite amazing.
1:12 B12 - "Gimp" off of the seminal "Time Tourist" album from 1996. That was a very lush sound to these teenaged ears and it still hits all these years later.
While it has a lot of patches,and it has been used as a preset machine, it's a very good synth, with the 10 structures (algorithms which combines the parts-samples used in a patch..), with Ring modulation, booster, fxm,(kinda cross modulation but, well..heh;), in a form of synthesis that reminds the LA structures, it's a deep machine, giving you total control with hundrends parametres and if you study the manual and give some time on the machine, you can come up with almost amazing sounds, as Don Solaris and other people have shown... Well, the marketing of course prefer us to buy the cards-expansion boards, but Don Solaris made some unbelievable analog sounding patches using mostly the saw, pulse, triangle etc. simple sampled synth waveforms, prooving just one more time that it's the man-operator that counts and not so the machine... just sayin..:)...
I heard that these sounded good, but you really put some feel into these demos. Thank you so much for this video, I’m currently waiting for one of these to ship to my place!
Very nice. Really nice sounds.......and it turns out, I'm looking for one of these right now.....how strange that your video came along at this time. You always have great stuff @ the right time :)
I might have lied to you -- I was looking for the JV-1080 and managed to find some samples, but I don't think I could get the full banks. The Proteus though I did find
Thanks for this! My cousin gifted me one of these things, and I had no clue what to do with it. This points me in some interesting directions to start.
I loved this synth so much alongside the JD-800 I got in 91 , Pats GR-300 (forgot if that was on an expansion card ) I used shamelessly front and center on some productions secretly wishing I could play one of those too . It really kept you at the keys for hours and hours . An Inspiration station. Thanks for bringing us down memory lane … there were some huge pads I think I played till I fell asleep countless nights lol
Nice sounds and the device is probably able to play 16 or more different sounds at once instead of only one. I dumped my mc-909 a while back because of broken pads and huge repair costs. Hearing this brings me back to he thought of buying a Roland again.
So much love for the JV line. I had a JV-90 for a while but sold it to pick up the 1010 which has so many (all?) of these amazing patches in a module that is the size of a paperback book.
You should check out the JV-1080 available through Roland Cloud it sounds excellent. I have been using it on lots of my recent tracks as the sounds work so well layered in a mix.
David Boura same for me. Even though the sounds are now outdated (and new synths are using way better samples than the xp80), I keep using this synth. It has a competent sequencer, extensive programming abilities, 4 slots for additional sounds (world, vintage, orchestral 1 & 2 in my case). So all in all, it does everything I need and even more. And it does for a good controller keyboard as well ;)
Absolutely, the keys are quality. The sequencer in its V1 is buggy though, and just having a snare fitting well was tricky for me, but it is powerful and quite easy to learn and use. I disagree about the "outdated" sounds though, you're telling this a man who loves the mellotron, as an example ^^
Totally usable till today, actually the1080 is the only synth i used to record a full album with "Orchestral 1/2" expansions, its a real workhorse that can be inspiring even today.
Fantastic demo of some of these classic patches! I was thinking.. at 4:07 I think that may have been used in the Halo Original Sound Track on the tune "Under Cover of Night" .. has me itching to may try a remix!
Marshal, thanks, I just read your email btw :-D sorry! I'll respond soon- That is the "Fantasy Vox" patch, Roland has made several of these types of patches over the years , not sure when that song was made, but could be
Hey, no sweat Paolo! Yeah the track was made in 2001 roughly.. but the soundtrack has a bit of a 90's feel with some of the synth work.. was listening to it a few times, and it might be M1.. not sure.. what do you think? ruclips.net/video/BSqm5Id6Hw0/видео.html
I often found that people who played Halo never got to play the Half-Life. Too late and too little time to replay the classic, but you should check out the soundtrack for Half-Life sometime: ruclips.net/video/AaXsb5kS31s/видео.html It is a MASTERPIECE, 1997 I think.
The JV's all have a certain low end, that I never came across any other synth I've played or heard. Even the most modern synths. Even those of Roland themselves. The designers of the JV's really did an outstanding job, and feel like they had an unlimited budget to research and design it.
does anyone else have issues with this thing audibly crackling on patches that use stereo panning LFO? hoping this isn't some kind of weird power issue with my unit :/
Imagine how good it sounded in 1988... The thing that made this an absolute winner was that it’s multitimbral: you can have one patch per midi channel. A box that took up only 2U allowed you to play an entire orchestra. It was nuts for the time. The sounds basically defined genres like eurodance. If you fire up the VST version and play around you’ll know what I mean.
Thanks for that, helped me to decide and buy one. Anyone knows if its possible to use an external arpeggiator via Midi? Let's say the one from the Korg R3.
Can you do a video on the Korg Volca series? I feel like the FM, Bass, and keys combined have a lot more power than most 80s and 90s fm synths for the same price.
FWIW, I've hooked up my Volca Keys to my small collection of modular gear. I just took audio out from the Keys to the modular VCA (Doepfer A-131), and fed the same MIDI to the Keys and the modular MIDI interface (Doepfer A-190-2), then used an envelope generator module (Doepfer A-140 ADSR) to control the VCA, instead of the one in the Keys, which I don't like much. The attack of the Keys envelope cuts off the previous note dead, so if you set a long attack, you have to wait for each note to get started. With a proper analog envelope generator, it picks up where the previous note left off, i.e. the volume levels starts from there, and builds, rather than having to start each note from zero amplitude. I could have taken audio from the Keys before its own VCA, but I just set a short attack, long decay and release, high sustain envelope instead - which the modular one then chops. I could go furrther and involve more modules, e.g. a different filter, but it's the envelope that bothers me most. The rest of it is pretty good. The Volca Bass begs to have the separate outputs put through a mixer - six levels; three for saw and three for square. One day I will, but then everything after that will have to be modular, so it will just be three oscillators.
Awesome demo! Was surprised that you didn’t superimpose the patch names as you typically do so us JV-1080/2080 XV-5080 owners can follow along at home. Is this something you would consider updating the video with? Cheers!
Awesome, thank you! Your videos are so inspiring and breathe new life into older and (sometimes) forgotten gear. I love to “follow along at home” with my own gear. Heck, I even bought an Eventide H3000 based on your demo with the Matrix 12. Thanks again!
Patch names added in the Description box

The Japanese were really on their game with the 1080. Don't need huge samples or analogue for some great sounds.
Agree- the mid-90s were definitely a cool era for synths development
Actually the sounds were developed and designed by an american, not japanese.

Yes, it's a synthesizer, you can make it sound any way you want.
Still one of the best sounding synths ever made.

The JV 1080 is the best synth module for the money!
I bought this module years ago stuffed with 4x expension boards and endless fun with it!
Also got his little brother JV1010 ;)
Love the 1080! I use it on most tracks and it is my favorite bread and butter synth. Nice video!

A great trip down memory lane, those sounds still have power and emotion in them.
Thanks for sharing.

Actually the theme of *Who wants to be a Millionaire* was produced using this machine.
Flying Waltz preset! It's on the Tame Impala song 'Gossip' as well.

You should check out the JV-1080 available through Roland Cloud it sounds excellent. I have been using it on lots of my recent tracks as the sounds work so well layered in a mix.
In practical terms, likely the most widely used synth module of all time. Brings the studio to the stage.
Sweet! I love the 1080. :) You are so talented. I love listening to your demos. :) Keep up the great work. Sam in Japan.
Machiwoomiapoo Hi there I am trying to get some synths from Japan. I am in China. Do you recommend any website that can ship overseas?
Dawn 2 Dusk is so beautiful
This is the background pad sound in ENIGMA's "Third Of Its Kind" from their third album.
Beautiful pads..👍
My only synth has been the XP-80 and i can tell you, once you turn it on, say bye bye to Time (but not Space) ^^
David Boura same for me. Even though the sounds are now outdated (and new synths are using way better samples than the xp80), I keep using this synth.

David Boura excepted the analogue synths, all the synths get outdated one day ;) and yes I also like the mellotron ;)
Pure Tibet is breathtaking. Might just have to snag one of these.
I've had the XP-30 for about 16 years now. It has all these patches. Great line of synths.
Me too...I love my XP30 and despite the fact I've got Korg and Kurzweil keyboards too..this is my "go to" keyboard
I still have and use my JV-1010, the little brother. Excellent synthesisers!
Totally usable till today, actually the1080 is the only synth i used to record a full album with "Orchestral 1/2" expansions, its a real workhorse that can be inspiring even today.
Ha! Those are all done so great. You play them like they were intended to be played. Thanks!
Thank you!
Still so very cool sounding. I have 5 synths with this engine.
I have a few myself - in the '90s the 2080 was my bread and butter synth. I still like them a lot
the greatest synths of all time JV/XP's
The first patch sounds like a "castle theme" for a JRPG on the SNES, very cool
I was immediately reminded of the WarCraft II soundtrack.
One of my favorite you-tube channels
Thank you very much, Morrisman64-2
Just bought a JV-1080 in mint condition for $190 :)

Still using the XP50 for soundtracks etc. Have been for 30 years. With a few expansions, it's my go to synth.
I found "Dawn 2 Dusk" on my Integra-7!
2:59 sounds like the accordion from Banjo-Kazooie
Donkey Kong Country for SNES too!
is 2:53 the same sound that's in the intro of Nsync's Bye Bye Bye???
The sound of harmonica on 3.00 is in the film "un povero ricco" with renato pozzetto.
"Un Povero Ricco" is from the '80s.... this unit was made in the '90s.

Can you do a video on the Korg Volca series? I feel like the FM, Bass, and keys combined have a lot more power than most 80s and 90s fm synths for the same price.
Yes - I have done several Volca videos in the past, if you search on the channel. Going to do more soon.

I just took audio out from the Keys to the modular VCA (Doepfer A-131), and fed the same MIDI to the Keys and the modular MIDI interface (Doepfer A-190-2), then used an envelope generator module (Doepfer A-140 ADSR) to control the VCA, instead of the one in the Keys, which I don't like much.
The attack of the Keys envelope cuts off the previous note dead, so if you set a long attack, you have to wait for each note to get started. With a proper analog envelope generator, it picks up where the previous note left off, i.e. the volume levels starts from there, and builds, rather than having to start each note from zero amplitude.
I could have taken audio from the Keys before its own VCA, but I just set a short attack, long decay and release, high sustain envelope instead - which the modular one then chops.
I could go furrther and involve more modules, e.g. a different filter, but it's the envelope that bothers me most. The rest of it is pretty good.
The Volca Bass begs to have the separate outputs put through a mixer - six levels; three for saw and three for square. One day I will, but then everything after that will have to be modular, so it will just be three oscillators.
Sounds shmounds ... nice playin! :D
Thanks!
I think "Chambers" at 7:15 was used for the strings on Destiny's Child's "Survivor"
But you're playing the cool patches so that means you're cool too.
I can hear the sounds of Tame Impala's Currents in this video
@aaron cole yep!
@aaron cole he mainly used the JV 1080 in the Juno 106
Currents one of the best albums in the last 10 years
This JV1080 is in excellent condition, congratulations!
What is the amplification and speakers used in this demo?
Ravedrmset and Flying Waltz and Harp from Proteus2 is used for Millionaire lifelines like Ask The Audience and Phone A Friend
one synth ill keep
Is there a 61 key midi keyboard controller which you can map and be able to switch patches when playing live and tweak filters with ?
Novation SL mkiii 61

How would one go about designing the Pure Tibet pad at 1:12?
Hi, great video. I have a jv 80, how do I connect it to the jv 1080? Many thanks.
Thank you - extremely simple - JV-80 MIDI Out to JV-1080 MIDI In.
I still have my JV-1080. I have had some good moments with it. Is there more that can be done with it with sound design?
You can make your own patches from the faceplate, or get a MIDI interface and a software editor
Check out Don Solaris! Amazing patches can be found, but takes some programming - editors are really helpful.
brilliant playing, but can you tell us the name of the double manual organ against the wall ?
That's a Hammond XK-3c
Awesome demo! Was surprised that you didn’t superimpose the patch names as you typically do so us JV-1080/2080 XV-5080 owners can follow along at home. Is this something you would consider updating the video with? Cheers!
