Great video Glenn. Very playable sounds. Love your music.

It sounds good. Cheaper than buying a used one. I do have a real AJ1 though.

De maravilla

Hi, with the comeback of analog synths the sounds of this Synth are right on! I am a drummer and not a synth player but as a band owner I remember buying a Roland Juno 106 back in the 80's when it came out. Regret selling it ever since and learned my lesson NOT TO SELL any Roland synths ever again. They sound majestic and in a way always steps ahead of the rest! Great video👍🏻👍🏻

Wow Glenn ...you should be on AGT. Ever thought of that.? Amigo

in 1 I put the Jupiter, in 2 the JP-800 which have more brilliance/dynamics and after the PC emulation the quality of the components and the place of manufacture In some sounds we don't hear this difference on an oscilloscope compare the curves

I had the bigger bro: JP-8080 several years ago. I sold it to buy a guitar. If I was a rich man, I would not have bothered to sell it (the guitar is a higher priority). The slight regret is due to the fact that it has a certain flavor that is difficult to capture with my existing software (although I miss it less and less the better patches I make). It basically boils down to what pallet of colors you like to paint your sound with. Still, I do miss a tactile synth. I generally prefer oldschool electronica all the way to the early-to-mid 90s Video-game soundtracks sort of sounds in my music (prog rock is fun too). I did plenty EDM back in the day, and only like the sounds, but always wish that EDM music was more complex (great sounds, but missed opportunities, if you ask me). I can get lost these days in "Dad-electronica" _Greek or citrus_ flavored sounds (and I'm not even middle aged). The Roland JP series can fit very well in those asks, but if I had a blank check, I'd probably probably go for something more vintage or nostalgic, like the Roland Jupiter 6/8 (that's a BIG ask $$). Software can get you a long way, but I do miss the touchy-feely knobs and sliders, and that last 5% of the authenticity. There is something about the filters on these VA Rolands. Sure, it's a computer inside, but I have yet to find a plug-in that fully encapsulates that rubbery, and slightly cold or thin resonance. In spite of the fact that it might be "thin" compared to a slightly older synth, it sits in the mix well. I'm of the opinion that you should be able to make great music with whatever tools you've been blessed with, but if you DO own a 90s Roland, I'd suggest keeping it. Even if you do find a VST that is a picture perfect plastic-y filter, that's one less resource hog for a taxed CPU. I for one think that filter is a great ingredient to add to your sonic-spice rack. Thank you for this trip down memory lane. Fun vid!

Wow. Just wow

Great Tks you forgot the roland sh?

Thanks Glenn for an interesting tutorial (or video) - as always i love the musical stuff you are posting here on this channel.... so YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP IT UP my frind 👉🖕👈

I can't get the bought expansion to be recognized by gaia2 any idea

Glenn, I simply wish to split the keyboard, create 2 tones (Lefthand - Syn Vox and Righthand - Marimba) . Please help explain the steps needed. Thanks!

hey, I don't know what am I doing wrong: my arp part edit it just not working. I have one switch on and the part is not doing the arpeggio. only when I am turning on all 4 parts the switch to on, the arp is working. but that means all the parts are playing the arp and I only want one part. maybe you can help ?

Glenn, any advice on what synth I’d need to add to my current portfolio of Juno-X and Juno DS88? When I asked the salesguy at Guitar Center about the Fantom-07, he said the Juno-X does the same except Fantom is a workstation. What say you?

Thx for well made video

Nydelig. Likte spesielt godt siste del!!!!

WOW, SSUUUUPER!😎👏👏

Great Video...I love my JD800. ...by the way...will publish new 64 free patches on my YT soon.

Hey a 2 year belated nice studio! I bought my JD-800 new in the early 90’s to replace my Jupiter 8, the JD-800 had a realistic piano sound which meant I didn’t need the CP-70 anymore, the Crystal Rhodes meant I didn’t need my DX7 or DynoMy Fender Rhodes anymore, and the strings were real samples unlike my Jupiter 8, it was a logical upgrade to my Jupiter 8 though I’m sure young guys today would probably laugh seeming the Jupiter’s now sell for 20k used (I laugh at this one since it took me a month to finally find a buyer for mine at US $450.00 in 1990 .. seriously! I still have my JD-800 and it’s still in mint condition like it was new, I also have the cloud version, the cloud version definitely reminds me of the real thing, but my real JD-800 definitely sounds different in its tonal quality, it’s those clean icy converters Roland was using in its JV/JD series back then .. you can’t replicate that with any in the box synth these days apart from taking a direct sample of it into Kontakt .. then you can side by side compare and not hear the difference .. at least that’s been my experience. But I admit of the 20 or so hardware synths I still have strewn around my house including the JD-800 .. I have not even turned them on in years now, there is no need too, there are so many wonderful sounds I can get in the box these days that we could only dream of in the 80/90’s, I’m like a boomer age kid in a candy store. I don’t make my living as a keyboard player like I did up to the late 90’s, but man live players sure got it made these days, if I were playing live these days it’d be 2 Korg Microkey Air 61 keyboard controllers and a laptop .. that’s it .. no visits to the chiropractor from moving big keyboards around 😬 Enjoy that beautiful gear 👍

I wish Roland had a much better reverb on the Juno-X.

Hi, I love your videos and really appreciate you doing them. I am currently looking to buy either the GAIA or SH-02 but would be interested to know if there is anything else I should consider given these are quite old?

No mention of the Casio AZ-1; which has more usable features than any of these shown. I had an RK100; heavy, no velocity touch, Extremely limited. kzbin.infoHXM1xvXlZoc?si=nCFyVUL7sLOGtxh0

Amazing work! I'm impressed

Do you have any videos on installing the vocal designer expansion and how to use?

Anyone know the letter & number preset that is at 22:05 the craftwork sounding one??

Picked up an Alesis Vortex2 last year (never played before) just to add a bit of keys to my band's sound (cover Separate Ways and walk of life so far - adding Jump soon). Great instrument but a fairly step learning curve if you haven't played with midi synths before. Have purchased a few of the cherry audio synth emulators - having fun with these and you can often get them cheaper via humble bundle (I'm not affiliated in any way). Thanks for the quick reviews - the Roland looks awesome but was a bit pricey for me as a first foray into the world of Keytars.

Nice video. Thanks for the comparison. :) I never had the original JD-800, but a few years back did pick up the JD-08 and K25m. Got a Jupiter Xm yesterday, so I'll get the model and move the JD-08 along, algthough it's nice having the hands on control on the JD-08 more like a mini JD-800. Love some of the JD pads and they can work really well with a layer with something else.

What Drummachine do you use!?

Nice! Good luck from Poland 😎

great, greetings from Argentina!

Does this Keytar have rhythms built in?

Yeah, no one's doing all of that work to find out what your first synth was.

Man, loved your original sounds...and the way you played them . I just bought a used Gaia. Can't wait to get making my own sounds!

how can i sound like kevin moore using this synth vst?

and one day on my poly61 its like a new!

i have the midi from tubutec on my polysix and really good for sequences

sound like my space x reverb ik

This Poly 61 deserves lots of Delay, lots of Reverb & lots of LOVE!

Mono/poly was 1st. Poly61 was 2nd. Arpeggiator was great. Programability was huge as I was in a pop/rock band.

Wait, I had the poly61 and the poly 800 I remember I had them MIDI together, this was in 1984 I think. I actually still have my poly800

Wonderful sounds. One question. What is your opinion about yamaha montage m?

Fabulous Glenn, thankyou.

Nice to has a clever brother who fix retro synth to be very usefull, congrat get back your old but really good synth, i was watching on athis synth once in Tønsberg in the 80.s but i dont by one. Good luck with making great music on it in midi ....

I always wanted one of those as a teen. Had to wait another 5 years for my JX-3P.

That thing has character! Excellent video. :)

Beautiful is not enough to describe this

Mine I bought new ca 1997ish had a heart attack a couple of years ago. I’ve never encountered a synth I’ve liked quite as much.

I play guitar mostly and have been wanting to add a synth to my stage setup. I found a micro korg for 175. Had i known about these I probably would have grabbed one but i do like the compact size of the micro.

Beautiful composition which brought me to seeing the sequence of the Calima arrival, the storm staying, and then leaving. Closing my eyes to visualize the Calima, creating a soundtrack to the imaginary film I was immersed in. Really fantastic!

I love all your wonderful vintage synths, brings back memories when I grew up in the 80s. I also love your shirt, very colorful.
