Yesterday at last I bought a Juno-2 with a M-64C Cartridge for very less money in very good condition. And what sound set was in the intern memory??? . . . . . Yes... - ... the Espen Kraft sounds! I am in heaven❣️

A shout out too to the iPG800 iPad controller. It has a PG-300 mode which can control the Alpha 1/2. Espen's sounds and the $10 iPad app are a good investment IMO. I use a Yamaha MD-BT01 Bluetooth MIDI adapter to connect this to the iPad.

@@cansisco real time control of the parameters. It basically replaces the hard to find PG-300 which was an add on controller for the Alpha Juno series. It puts the parameters which are normally hidden in menus on a touch screen. Very nice for real time control. You can configure midi controllers like the Novation SL Zero, etc. to work in a similar way.

I bought a Juno 1 back in the late 80s even though the guy in the store demonstrated a Juno 2 and recommended it. I was a guitarist and synths were a total mystery to me then and I was budget conscious after moving into my first apartment. It still has a smart look, to me it was like 2001 A Space Odyssey, just press a membrane button and you have the your sounds you need for cover tunes. A few years later I traded it for a Mackie mixer that I got way more use out of and still have. I have a midi controller and a plethora of free vsts that I use in Cakewalk(free DAW) including Phutura which is a Juno clone vst.

Very nice patches, Espen! I've been looking at some Alpha Juno videos tonight and stumbled upon your fine sounds! And getting nostalgic at the same time, wishing I would still have it...so a repost of a comment I wrote to another video: Alpha Juno 2 (we only called it Juno 2) was my first real synth back in 87 which I'd as a real synth instead of the Yamaha PSR-6100... a play-at-home device a store keeper managed to sell me a year earlier claiming it was the best on the market, ha ha. Well although I only played more or less with factory sounds (I did not understand programming and I didn't know anyone who knew how) I remember thinking it was not good enough, although I liked the sound of the Juno 2. Everyone talked about the DX7 and the Roland D50 which had just been released. Digital was the sound everyone wanted, including me. A year later I bought the JX-8P which at the moment felt a little like the wrong move and the next year I finally had the D50, by flipping my Juno 2. If someone had told 15 yo me, that you could do almost anything and any sounds with these devices, if you just start digging into them properly. :-)

Thanks Alex! One of the best tricks the Alpha has is the very, very slow LFO capabilities. I use this almost exclusivly for my wind, noise and other types of sweeps in my music. With careful programming I find the Alpha can sound identical (but it can do much more in addition) to the 6/60/106 and that's why I sold all of them years ago. The Alpha is criminally underrated, but all for the better as they are much cheaper to buy ;-)

@@EspenKraft That's interesting. Yet to play an Alpha but imagine the "under the hood" controls put people off because that's part of the analogue experience for many. Does sound great. Juno-6/60 is my favourite 6-voice poly Roland did I think. Same vca/vcf and envelopes as the Jupiter-8 and has a more fuzzy sound. The 106 is a bit bright and clean for my taste and the JX-3P and Jupiter-6 have a different metallic thing going on that I like in a different way, but my heart is with the 6/60. Prophet~5 rev2 is the best sounding poly I've ever played though. Good Lordy.
@EspenKraft
@EspenKraft 5 жыл бұрын
I can get your love for the Prophet 5, although I have no idea if those I played through the years were rev2. I haven't played one for a long time now, but they do sound good. The membrane menu driven Alpha is of course why it's not up there with the 6/60/106 as the analog synth community has always been pro tactile controls, and nothing wrong with that, but I always judge a synth from its sounds more than the visual and tactile angle. Probably because I no longer tour or play live or have any need for turning that filter in real time ;-)

I've just bough a Roland Alpha Juno 2. Was a bit tatty at first but after cleaning it up and giving it a good service this is now probably the best synth i've ever owned. I've seen most of your videos including the one where you talk about the JU2 and how it's one of your favourites too... but if I am honest I was a little bit disappointed with the factory presets. Anyway... these patches have completely transformed my Alpha Juno 2!! As soon as I transferred the SYSex and heard the first preset I fell in love, and as I went though the 8x banks every single one of these patches sounds fantastic! Thank you Espen Kraft.

Great sounds, Espen. I never owned an Alpha, it was out of my price range, but I remember playing with them at my local music store when they came out. I fell in love with that buzzy quality of the Roland sound. Just listening to your patches and seeing the sleek, modern interface of the Alpha brings back a lot of good memories. I'm thrilled to see new sounds for these old instruments. Hope you sell a lot of them.

@Mingus The item arrived with the best packing job I have ever seen! unfortunately it is extremely noisy! When the chorus is off it sound perfect. after some research apparently it needs a pair of new BBD IC chips. I messaged the seller to see if he wants me to ship it back for a refund or pay for the chips and see if I can make it work as advertised. Hope to get this settled soon but the seller hasn't answered my messages and shipping is crazy during the holidays. Instead of loading the presets, I've been researching about kixing it.

Listening to your Sweep patches, they really remind me of the Roland D50's synth sweep. Though, I have to admit it sounds way better off the Alpha Juno. It does really well at those slow LFO sweeps. I also really like the brass patches in here. I think the factory patches are trying to hard to sound like real brass instruments, your patches make better use of that synthy analog brass sound. Anyway, a year+ on with my Alpha Juno; these patches are great.

I've owned my Alpha Juno 2 for a couple weeks. I really like it's raw analog sound and the chorus effect is really good. But even though this synth is from 1986, most the patches I find online sound more like they're for 1990's techno music. I've had trouble finding decent 80's sounds for it. I mean, it's guts are almost the same as the Juno-106, it should be able to do almost everything that synth can do. I'm thinking I'll buy your patches and see how I like them. :P

Great patches that my AJ2 would love :) but for now I have to enjoy your DW8000 bank. If you had to choose between AJ2 or JX8p which would it be?

Audio Realism's Re-dominator (best AJ2 emulation out there) VST could possibly load sysex if I am not mistaken
@EspenKraft
@EspenKraft 5 жыл бұрын
It's been tried and it doesn't work as the ReDominator so far can't import a bulk patch bank, only separate patches. My patch bank is the whole 64 bank.

Thanks! Hard choice, but I'd always go for the Alpha Juno before the DW-8000 myself. They're both excellent synths though.

If you follow the step by step instructions in my video you can't go wrong. As long as you've hooked up the midi interface correctly and you have a working midi interface. The manual is also very clear.

Hey so I downloaded the patches and they sound great. Is there a way to send my previously made patches (i saved them to my iMac) and transfer those to the cartridge M16? I'm really lost and there was a Jupiter X sounding patch the guy who I bought it from that sounded great. Thanks and I love these patches once again!
@EspenKraft
@EspenKraft 4 жыл бұрын
To save patches on the cartridge, you have to have them in the Alpha first. I suggest you re-load your set into the Alpha again and then save them on a cartridge. Then you can re-load my bank again and have access to them all. Thanks! :)

Is this process writing over the 64 factory patches or will your patches be stored in the 64 user patch slots with the process in the video? Do I need the memory cartridge to get the 64 user patch slots?
@EspenKraft
@EspenKraft 4 жыл бұрын
That's right. These will overwrite what you have there in user memory. So you have to save these on a memory cart or sysex to your computer before if you like to keep your own patches intact.

@EspenKraft

If you check the comments lately, there is this guy that have made some conversion app or whatever. The Re-Dominator guys refuses to make the plugin load in a complete sysex bank. For some reason they won't do it. Shame on them as they're the ones loosing out on that. My bank is the best patches you can find for the Alpha when it comes to usable 80s type of sounds. ;-)

No stupid questions, just stupid answers. Anyways, forget Ableton or Ultranova, these patches can only be used if you have a hardware Alpha Juno or the module MKS-50. Old school you know. ;-)
