Buy and send??? I went to make a comment and something popped up. 😢

Sweet. Love my S900. Prefer it to my S950 actually.

Dude! I’m loving these clips. The drums are sounding bangin outta that s900 for sure. Can’t wait to hear this on your next release.

Sounds very good !

Lovely as fuck

Sounds niccee

I'll buy the sample pack!

Yaas!

God damn fucking police

Thank you for speaking out 🙏

I was taken aback by Espen's take, I thought surely somone like him would understand the value in real in hand hardware.. hearing him say the VST is just as good was pretty surprising. I don't think I've even seen him use a VST 🤷‍♂️ with that said, he's able to have an opinion, however I feel like it was intended to go viral, I'm sure many who've watched his videos were pretty surprised as I was, but he's entitled to his opinion. Also, as somone who hasn't worked professionally other than what I relase on my own, it does not mean that unless you get paid you're opinion is worth any less. Personally I have a vast collection of gear, and the skill and knowledge to put them to proper use. While we may not have the insider tea, I don't think it would make my take any less relevant than any one else. Though, I tend to agree here with you, Espen does make some valid points and there is a subsection within our community of synth lovers who are totally on this side of the culture. We should encourage meaningful conversation vs attacks and name calling. I purpose you ask Espen to come on and make his case to you and your audience. We may not have the whole story from his perspective. I say this because that video came out of nowhere, and since he's had another spat with sequential over the Prophet X. He sounds frustrated to me.

Wunderbar …

Anyone know how Synclavier is properly pronounced? I’ve heard either the 3-syllable version, Sin-kla-VEER, with the emphasis on the 3rd syllable….from mostly Americans, or Sin-CLAY-vay-er, with the emphasis on the 2nd syllable…mostly by Brits! Which is the right way?

I saw 4 gigs on Frank Zappa’s last tour in 1988…2 at the Wembley Arena, one at the Birmingham NEC, and the last at the Ahoy in Rotterdam. I recorded them all on my Sony Professional Walkman, and still listen to them today! I remember at the Ahoy, when Frank was messing around on his Synclavier, getting all these mad sounds like crazy laughter, what sounded like a toilet being flushed, and various howls and whoops! He had an awesome sense of humour and of the absurd! And he sure knew his way around the Synclavier!

Nice share

Any chance of getting a tutorial how to create these sounds??? I have the Fantom EX... and these patches are phenomenal!!!

Pure golden bliss

over 3 and a half grand though lets talk about the elephant in the room. the vast majority of musicians are flat broke and dont make a penny out of music so why do companies just keep the prices sensible. i guarrantee theres a vst version of this probably on my hard drive that sounds exactly the same.

My studio I have a large number of Sequential and Oberheim products. Too notch products and bang for the buck. Its great they brought out all these new products. Anyone shit talking them have no idea what they are talking about.

Its 8 voice ACB for JP8 here?

very nice demo.

Through that reverb even a fart will sound great! 🤤

are the drums on the synclavier? snare sounds familiar

All these complaints about the sound quality of this synth from reputable reviewers has me thinking maybe their reputations as reviewers aren’t well-deserved. Matt Johnson (a fine musician- no doubt), in particular, had me considering saving up for a P5/10 (a difficult proposition with my kids and insane TX property tax rates), but this demo has me considering just selling a few synths I don’t want and buying this outright.

It sounds nice but I’m just not sold on Roland’s new Zen Core stuff. The idea of partials is awesome and harkens back to the D50 (which is something they’ve always ignored when it comes to expansions...how is Digital Native Dance not a baked in preset for the new Fantom I do not know) but I also think it runs into a problem that a lot of workstation type instruments run into in that there’s no definable character to them. I look at some5ing like the Roland System 8. The most interesting sounds from that synth were from the native System 8 engine. I wish Roland embraced that but instead they insisted on constantly going back to the Jupiter, Juno etc in digital emulations. All the while we have actual analog synths on the market now. I just wish Roland would come out with a synth that’s unapologetically a synth...if it’s digital then embrace it as a digital synth...not a workstation or piano. Do something that is instantly identifiable as the D50 was with Fantasia or Digital Native Dance or the JD800 with Millennium.

I really wish the JP-8 ACB was made for Jupiter-X, all the controls would’ve been just perfect

It's crazy-close. There's something a little weird in the high end but I don't think anyone would ever notice it on a record or on stage. Honestly pretty impressed. Does Roland ever include like slightly grungier sounding effects in the big workstations?

That description is gunna hurt the cats that spent $£35k on an OG JP8 🤭

I found you comments in the description as useful as any review of the Fantom I’ve encountered.

I got my Fantom in 2020 and what Roland has done with the updates to it, most of them free, has blown me away.

this synth has so much flavour

Dreamy analog strings and pads...

a very deserving console for that 100m

16:09 Insane!!!

This is just peak music, all genres combined

In a little favour of P1, personally, I enjoy more unstable sound of pro one some more. Although its a pretty hard synth to mix in wih many other more modern or at least more stable gear, without it taking space as a minimal synth or industrial machine. Even if its barely an 80s synth, made in 1981, its more ij the family of early Arps, Moogs and Korgs of the 70s. Sharp, rusty, mechanical, with elvish latern vibe on leads, with its classic CEM chips in all VCA VCF and VCa.,More Kraftwerk’esque i would say, then fuzzy 80s Rolands. Its especially evident in lfo modulations on filters and the snappy adsr of its time with a noise generator gives it so much character. Sound alone its i would say even limited sonically and maintenance may be slightly cranky but accompanied with outstanding sequencer and cv control shines its best qualities - pairing it with a triggering sequencer and drum machines and let creativity take you away, as its endlessly fun to use. Changing the keybed is a essential to get the most out if it. But for strictly for productivity purposes the toraiz will do work.

Me... at 15..... I had no idea what was what..... but that sound!

FM sound and multi additive layer do the right way this beast should be the king of FM synth the Yamaha version is a simplified version complex to handle but without that additive layers power horse.

I love this single. So cool to get a look at how it was made! Thanks so much for making this inspiring video.

That beat is insane there! I just got one of these Minitaurs to run from mpc

Could you make a sample pack for the lm-1?

Could you make a sample pack for the lm-1?

I love my Prophet 6, but when I opened it up, there was a kazoo and a card that said, "sucker!" Did you write that? Was I scammed? Do you have any extra preset packs to sell me?

Can you do this again but with the audio directly into the device, good but the sound quality let's it down.

Best Demo of this synth !!!!

Sounds like PlayStation startup
