Cool little setup, Jonathan Cain. Thanks for touring us around your keys gig rig!

Love for the Triton Pro Studio 88, and the Roland Jupiter-80. If There is any man who knows about the 80s synth rock game, it’s Jonathan Cain. Trust this man!

Can we see him playing the latest Roland Jupiter affixed vertically to the side of a warehouse in an alley someplace?

was trying to get the Separate Ways sound on my E-MU and couldn't quite find the tone. GOT IT NOW! Btw , loved the sounds in the Babys songs. Those were amazing keyboard parts.

[@GeorgeAmodei21]

Have been following you since the beginning. Love to see the change up! It works☺️👍

[@joelwesterveltaia2196]

Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed their concert a few months ago. Very nice👍.

[@stanton2223]

the thing is he seems like such a genuine normal nice guy but just happens to know a load of stuff about keyboards aswell

[@MacLamar]

This vid was made 2 years ago but still wanted to say thanks 👍

[@SynthgodXXX]

Very cool rig! Rock the house down my friend!!! :) Rik

[@alancummings5651]

One of the best.

[@tommymandel]

Jay, you are one super-nice, way-talented key-guy!

[@algallego]

Great testimony, Jonathan!

[@letsdothis3332]

My second favorite pianst ( Carole King is my favorite ) but Jonathon Cain is definately my facorite keyboardist...if that makes any sense.

[@MFitz12]

Makes an interesting contrast to the mid-80's rigs where there were dozens of keyboards off stage all MIDI'd together.

[@algallego]

Yes, now there's sound modules, controllers and soft synths galore-- everything in a single rack (all the slaved and triggered) if so desired other than the actual playable instruments. Could run it all from a single controller and laptop as some do. Love that he has the digital grand piano in his setup!

[@martinmilter]

Except from Tony Banks who just brought everything with him on stage :D

[@Gusrikh1]

Very interesting

[@BaymondRell]

Nice share thanks -

[@dgcmusi]

I love that….it makes a hell of a racket…..lol

[@le_piano_man]

Roland Fantom XR Rack

[@kathydigi3537]

He’s as good as Greg Rolie and an amazing song writer . To me both are equal

[@javajuls2u]

Love them both. Completely different backgrounds in music period and after reading Jonathan's book I know more about him so I understand him a little bit more. You got to respect Greg for leaving when he did to follow his own heart .

[@shawno66]

Hammond XK-5 (not X5)

[@pseudowoodo5010]

What was the machine on top of the Hammond?

[@shawno66]

@@pseudowoodo5010 I'm not sure... looks like an old Korg to me. I think I see a 3.5" floppy drive so it's vintage.

[@pseudowoodo5010]

Wait I think it's a triton pro studio 88

[@pisynth3784]

Mackie, not Alesis!

[@MJ-tg6wb]

He’s the Keys, not the key-tech. 🎹🎹🎹

[@sqd37l]

he's no Greg Rolie

[@javajuls2u]

You're right about that. His whole history is different than Greg's. They're really not the same kind of musicians they just both ended up in the same position in the same band at different times. Jonathan knows his s*** and he's been playing music since he was a little kid but no he doesn't love the same kind of music that Greg loves
