The SNTRX is certainly a nice box, and I think a fine alternative for the EMS, but if you already have a modular setup it is not essential, it integrates very nicely though. I am not a fan of the matrix myself (I prefer plugging cables). The overtones are very easy to make with the SYNTRX, that is its strong point (for me at least).

Great song AND sound with a great synth. 4 layers of synths with different layers of: envelopes, filters, levels, LFOs, and many other parameters, plus the 8 stage envelope rarity, and you have a synth even today that is fantastic and powerful. Back in the day I had bought a new Ensonique EPS16+ and Mackie 16cMIxer, just before the JD800 was introduced, the same money I would have spent on this synth. Today, through the magic of Roland I am experiencing the JD-800 in my Roland JD-08 for the first time. Plus I have added polyphony and panning to add to the power. Magic because it only costs $300 today.

Well into several negotiations for selling the JD-800 from a collection of synths that most would prefer over this one, Rimela showed interest in exploring it. More interest than me anyway: other than the 800 being a giant controller for the JD-990 I'm not particularly moved by its characteristics, though even lettuce can become etable if you hide it in between enough avocado, feta, salmon and pepper. But Rimela does it all with just that, lettuce (and sparse Ableton revs), and after only 2 months of introduction it's now loaded with 64 patches. And I even like the guitar ones. 2 out of the 5 parts feature this crafty variable-delay-like sequence, and I was taken aback by the decent guitar harmonics in part 4. The 800 still sounds much more corporate than the D-50, and doesn't make me smile as much as the 50 does too. I still wouldn't recommend buying it.. but I decided to keep it. Being proven wrong in music is a joyous expense. Great stuff, Rimela, and it was my pleasure entirely. Can't wait to see what's next.

@@jairkerker2821 It was an absolute pleasure to try out the JD-800. When it first came out, I was still in high school. I really wanted this synth back then, but it was out of reach. I remember Electronic as one of the bands that used the JD-800 a lot (as a tribute, I included a tom fill in my demo, which I think they used in one of their tracks). Later, when I started building my collection of synthesizers, I became more interested in analog synthesis, and the JD-800 faded from my view. However, I always felt a certain attraction to it. Now, after being able to play and program it for a few months, a long-cherished wish has come true. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

@@lonezombieheart7808 I do everything in Ableton Live 10 with only the standard effects in Ableton. EQ: On all tracks except bass and kick drum, I remove all the low frequencies. Other than that, I actually don't use EQ. Compression: I use compression on all channels, especially on drum sounds. During composing and recording, I work on sounds that find their place in the spectrum. By this, I mean that I create sounds and parts that don't get in each other's way. This makes mixing easier. Volume and panning are important to get the balance right. This is purely by ear and to my own taste. It’s important to have lower frequencies (kick and bass) right in the middle. I don't flood my mixes with reverb and delays. I try to make the synth sound as natural as possible. I also spread these effects in the stereo field and remove the low frequencies. On the master bus, I use multiband compression.
@rimela2 ай бұрын
To avoid muddy mixes, first thing you need to take care of is the low end. The low end should only be only for kick and bass. Sometimes they get in each other’s way. If you can’t get it right side-chain compression might help.
