THANKS!!!

AJ BOSS 77 Thank you

[@agentmirv]

Thanks so much for this! The crossmod section was really helpful.

[@rockhead11]

Thank you for this video. There sure are a lot of haters of this synth. This is like the best of both worlds - digital stability and analog warmth with 4 voices. I love mine. It is definitely a keeper for life. Also- It sounds so good that I don’t even notice the tiny knobs anymore. That’s another weird thing from the haters when, these days, we type letters on buttons the size of a gnat (i.e. texting) Very easy to manipulate sounds AND an excellent synth for teaching subtractive synthesis fundamentals.

[@RonCavagnaro]

Yes it's a beautiful synth all of my boutiques I own I forget it is digital they each sound very nice to me!

[@ColonelSanders17]

This is my first synth I love it! I'm glad I grabbed it. Got it on a discount and the store is unfortunately not in business. RIP Rob's Boulder Music.(once located in Boulder CO)

[@blownmagnet]

Excellent tutorial - thank you!

[@theMIDImaniac]

My wife doesn’t understand me. I can watch this kind of synth-p*rn all night. Such an informative video! Thanks a lot.

[@davidcarroll1031]

Great...now I have to buy this 1 too..lol

[@isaiahnanez1324]

I love the sounds from 16:09 - 17:36

[@RonCavagnaro]

Isaiah Nanez me too that's my favorite type of sounds when im writing songs thanks

[@NeoLudditevisons]

Boss thanks

[@valdiskrebs566]

Very good review! You created some very nice sounds in the demo, how do you save them on the JX-03? In which banks? Just C? Or can banks A and B be over-written with changes to the original sound?

[@RonCavagnaro]

Valdis Krebs only 16 places on c, just hold down the number until it blinks

[@christopherfarrell-artist3557]

Almost turned off half way through as the sound was so crude....glad I stayed to the end.

[@jacka55penguin]

Is that like an init patch? How do you save to C if you like something you made?

[@valdiskrebs566]

Like the sound @22:35

[@infinitelandscapes2743]

nice tutorial! is it possible to hold/sustain a note or a chord in jx without pressing a key? I tried to achieve this with the adsr sustain and release at all the way up but the sound eventually fades. I then thought it should be nice to achieve this via the sequencer... but it is monophonic so you can hold only one note. If there is a way around it should be nice to this without a use of a computer... any ideas? I know for a fact that in moog's patties that you can dummy plug a cable on the kb gate input and keep the gate open and the sound keeps playing no matter what. But I think that there is not something similar to the boutiques .

[@broedrick]

I'm not sure if you can do it on the JX-03 itself, but you could just use a sustain pedal assuming you've got one.

[@RonCavagnaro]

Get a hardware sequencer that can drone notes

[@Supersolyman]

I use my Jx-03 with a midi controller. Plug in sustain to midi controller and it just works, no configuration. Unfortunately there is no sustain input with the unit itself and you'll need to additional hardware.

[@cesarvalerio4292]

Great tutorial! Greetings from brasil!

[@sprungingforvoltage]

nice. i just bought a second JX for 8 voices. 😜

[@joedeberker]

How does it work? Is there any latency between the two?

[@CyberWaveRadio-nn4om]

How is it a jx 3p model... it doesn't even have a brilliance knob?

[@RonCavagnaro]

@@CyberWaveRadio-nn4om i dont own a full one, brilliance sounds like filter cutoff, which it has

[@savanaviolenta]

The boutique series seem to have vanished from the market,only D05,JX03 and Tr09 have left in some European stores,better get myself the JX03 asap.

[@RonCavagnaro]

T.I.N Mateus jx03 is great definitely recommended.

[@inevitablecraftslab]

it seems they try to get "sought after" stuff with this, also the aira modula modules like scooper, demora etc where not available just after a year of production. strange tactic, but after all its roland so ...

[@woodswalker88]

This does not have USB MIDI so I can't play it with most of my MIDI controllers that don't have a DIN MIDI socket. Is there a DIN to USB adapter you could recommend? (I wouldn't buy the dedicated Roland keyboard because i want more than 25 keys.)

[@RonCavagnaro]

Laura Woodswalker I use it as usb midi to my daw I am unsure about any adapters because I just use the Usb midi directly. I bought the keys for each of my boutiques just for fun . I usually am sequencing these synths with my deluge

[@woodswalker88]

I'm sure it can connect to a hub that is connected to a computer/DAW. My question is about playing it Standalone...with just a keyboard. But not a 25-key one. I like 32 or 37 keys.

[@RonCavagnaro]

Laura Woodswalker there's a midi in on the back you'd just plug it in

[@woodswalker88]

thanks, but there is no MIDI Out on the controller keyboard so we are missing a step here. Very few controller keyboards have 5-pin midi sockets these days.

[@RonCavagnaro]

Laura Woodswalker oh I'm sorry I see what you're saying I'm unsure but I use an old novation remote 61sl for my workhorse keyboard

[@victaylor230]

anyone else hear every preset bank on this thing out of tune?

[@RonCavagnaro]

@@victaylor230 i don't think so, at least on my end. Did you make sure the mod wheel slider is set to zero?

[@victaylor230]

@@RonCavagnaro I bought it second hand, I had to factory reset it but I fixed it
