Thanks again for watching guys... and to be clear: nobody has paid me anything whatsoever to make these videos. No brands, no sponsors. All that is featured in these tutorials are things that I love myself!

[@DM2Live]

Love these! Keep em coming :)

[@Bassvocalboy]

geweldige serie, ik kijk er met veel plezier naar :)

[@DennisMHenderson]

yet the perfect way to fake the legitimacy of these is the set of this video

[@DeAdler_13]

that comment would make the advertising even much more better, nearly perfect so to say. . (dont get it wrong just joking :D)

[@2old4school]

Hello Roland can you hear the man?He wants some machines and he deserve it

[@PatFlanigan]

I love Fridays more and more because of these priceless videos! Thank you so much Tom!

[@holotropik]

Sitting down with a bunch of boxes and jamming out tunes is the best thing ever!!! 😎😜👍

[@nofretzDW]

Very true warning about "going to bed with" those. I keep my JP-08 by the bed, and I've joyfully lost many hours of sleep trying to recreate Jupiter 8 sounds--it will actually do some of them very well! It's always a nice end to a day. 👍

[@Cyberphunk303]

The first synthesizer I ever owned was a TB-03 that I got for my birthday, and to see that you found it a worthy addition to that voluminous collection of yours is gratifying to the utmost. Groove on!

[@archon-v]

Tom - a man who has a million synths, but only like 3 T-shirts. Great episode once again. Wait, what, FIFA? There's a big place in my heart for your electronic productions. Can't wait to hear it.

[@StefanoPapaleo-TS]

Glad to see the dance spirit in Tom never died ;)

[@TweakerRay]

Thanks for letting us watch all the cool gear and getting insight in your creative work ! Thank for doing this ! Inspirational !

[@ContinuaComiq]

I'm more excited for Tomb Raider than Justice League now! Absolutely love your work, Tom!

[@junkiexlofficial]

Thank you!!

[@MythixMusic1]

junkiexlofficial you're scoring the new Tomb Raider? Man, excited to see/hear that!

[@thedrumunkey8582]

If you've watched all Tom's videos, it should not be all that surprising (in spite of all the "hate" these units get on synth forums for being VST boxes) that he likes them. Considering he's said many many times that even though he has the real analog synths, he likes to sample them then mangle/massage the sounds in sample form. Thus he's obviously not an Analog purest/zealot. It's amazing what you can produce when you just focus on the sound and leave all the baggage behind. :)

[@CommunityGuidelines]

Yeah, man. Every synth is only as good as the person operating it. If somebody can't get a good sound out of the Boutique series, it's not the boxes that are the problem...!

[@calvin808]

These videos are amazing!!! They always inspire me to get me back in the studio(bedroom) and produce!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@VisualAudioV]

Toms studio interior looks more complex to use than the death star. Love these videos! Amazing.

[@PhilHeesen]

Very "Twin Peaks" at 7:28! Thanks for another great video!

[@zekeafrica]

Love that little jam at the end! Another great vid, can't wait for the next one

[@pizzagogo6151]

Thanks for doing this. As much as I like to see your amazing older gear it's also interesting to get you perspective on the new generation of synths. Really appreciate the videos!

[@LousyFacelift]

Awesome episode once again! Thank you so much for making these videos!

[@machiwoomiapoo]

I'm really enjoying your videos. I had to get the boutiques as soon as they came out. They are simply amazing, portable, and very easy to use. They inspired me to find the originals as well. After lifting the Jupiter 8 a couple of times, I prefer taking the JP-08 when I need to be mobile. :) I've really enjoyed your videos. Take care and have a wonderful week.

[@indiefilmcomposer]

This is really great that you are taking the time to do this , gear geeks rejoice !

[@djandreezer]

I have the entire Boutique series as well and absolutely love them!

[@AriKona]

Tom, wish you had posted this video before I bought my JU-06. Spent the first night noodling until the wee hours of the morning (but not actually in bed). Great overview and great take-it-with-you synths.

[@spaship4826]

love the roland boutique series ! happy i stumbled upon this video, I think yuo may have bought my silvertop rhodes a couple years ago :) thanks man !

[@96ivanina]

Thank you for making me discover the "synth world"! Really fascinating and inspiring. :D

[@MrNoahFerris]

More JunkieXL acid jams!! i think everyone was having a bit of a nostalgia trip when you busted those grooves out at the end!

[@ber9649]

Best moment of the week ! thanks you so much!

[@discophone_6214]

Thanks man for this awesome boutique overview. Damn i need that silverbox 😀

[@DeAdler_13]

i love it, how the cameraman is really struggling with all that gear and wires around him . he really just has that safe zone on his chair because of alll that synths and everything :D

[@ReginatorNet]

Thanks for this video Tom. Whilst these are not for me I'm sure many will find them useful and inspiring.

[@jmca75]

Thanks Tom! Fantastic video as always.

[@zazulakoma]

The best thing on Friday! Thank you!

[@lorenmorgan1931]

Awesome demo! And thanks for finally being the guy that turns down the gain when clipping is introduced!

[@Emontop1]

Once again , a millions thanks. 😀👍👍👍👍👍

[@DaHouzekeeperGroovez]

when i watch you youtube videos, i,m always get inspired to make music. thanks!!

[@d_s_ctube]

Loved these videos Tom. Keep them coming!

[@sideast]

Wow ! Love your Vids man !! Every Time I watch one , makes me wanna go Buy a rack of 90's Gear !!! Awesome !!! Thankyou !

[@sullivanradley]

Great job, Tom! Keep rolling!

[@peiwei3873]

what an awesome room!

[@PureAmbientDrone]

I love these videos!

[@hardspank]

Loved the jam at the end, well done! git my feet tapping and head bobbing :)

[@kevincolyer]

really enjoying this

[@_Thorsten]

That TR-909/TR-09 make me instantly move... :)

[@jameshall1075]

My god the synthesizers! The moog systems alone are worth several houses…lol

[@Bas-nl]

Tom went to bed with a synth, that's what I call the definition of somebody in love with creating sounds.

[@tymelapse2747]

Best video series on KZbin!

[@smits98]

Very nice box. Very beautiful box.

[@halcyondaystunes]

Seriously dude, You are exactly what i would like to be if i won the lotto...I'd buy buy buy and never sell....and the studio would need to be built on and made bigger all the time ;) thanks for another great video Tom

[@YourVideoEssaysSuck]

You have a great ear. I love your work and was pretty crushed to hear that you weren't going to be on Justice League anymore. No way Danny Elfman will make a score that will be better than what you can come up with. Good luck with your future endeavors. I will always be following you and I will be continuing to watch your videos every week.

[@briansantillan3192]

Amazing Junkie!. Greetings from Argentina!.

[@firozefp]

Hello Sir :) Thank you so much for such brilliant & informative videos you do. Sir i have question for you... YOU HAVE A HUGE COLLECTION OF GEAR & SOUNDS SO HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A CORRECT SOUND WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR A PARTICULAR SCORE OR A SCENE IN A MOVIE ?? & MOST IMPORTANTLY HOW DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR SOUNDS ?? I'll be highly obliged if you help us out by answering our question.. Thank you so much once again & GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS :) :)

[@Bassvocalboy]

I would love an answer to this, dus Tom, als je dit toevallig leest, en nog tijd hebt voor nog een episode, dan zou een episode over geluiden kiezen echt heel cool zijn :)

Great question! How do you start to define the colours and tone of a scene?

[@SerratedSkies]

As a fellow soundtrack composer I can maybe answer: Tom has more than likely played with all his synths to the point where he knows exactly what they all sound like and what they're capable of. When scoring a film, after you've been doing it for a while you can kind of look at a scene and think "Alright, based on this type of movie and/or the music style I've already been using, what would make sense here? Is that too generic? What's an unusual alternative that still works? These synths come to mind and I'll put down my current idea, but maybe I should go play around with some really different sounds to see if they fit." And sometimes you're looking at a scene without music and you can just *hear* the score in your head. Just keep practicing and you'll get better!

[@MarshalArnold]

Gonna have to add the SE-02 to your collection now! I own the TR-09 and TB-03 love those, deff going to pick up the SE-02.. and perhaps the JX-03. Thanks for the vid, I enjoy your channel a bunch.

[@x_80]

This was a great surprise of an episode, thanks!!! I was a bit skeptical of the boutique series, even if I've liked past Roland VA synths, but I certainly trust your taste.

[@MajestoMusic]

Think i'll bust out my jp,jx and ju and play with them for a bit 😊 these videos are really great Tom 👍 thank you for taking the time to make them!

[@JRKEYS]

It becomes a rave towards the end lol.... Great stuff!!!!!

[@user-yo1cv2me5l]

My friend was lucky enough to win one of those JX 0 3 and they are great for making synth leads, i run it thru the sp 404 sx reverb with the chorus and it sounds amazing

[@halcyondaystunes]

I nearly fell off my chair when you said you don't have a TB303 :D

[@marctronixx]

LOL thought I was the only one! I was like "what"? :)

[@johngorgis]

halcyondaystunes he has better roland synths that can emulate the acid sound 303s are not very intuitive to program

[@kh7955]

He has also said he's not about to spend 4 grand on a box worth 100 bucks

[@bradleylinemihler]

I have the VP03 I love it to bits!

[@philcolly6330]

GREAT ! Boutiques!

[@MrStanley85]

Great Demo, looking forward to see your review of the newly announced all analog SE-02 from Roland :)

[@FreonTheFrozen]

So far I only got two of these. The Ju-06 and the JX-03. They are really nice sound modules. I will try to get the rest later.

[@AirwaveMusic]

My colleague has an original 303 on his desk gathering dust as the psu died. Gotta ask him what he's planning to do with it. :-D

[@strongocho]

Imagine going back in time and finding one of those for like $50 used lol. Crazy how they are like $3k now

[@chinmayapattnaik2876]

Man still can't believe you are not doing Justice League.... And its the way you left from it hurting the most....... But good luck for your future... We fans will always looking forward to your amazing scores...

[@aim9386]

Amazing synths! 🙏 hi 👋 from Russia!)

[@handsomeclark]

I love the videos Tom and all of the information you share with all of us. Thank You #HandsomeClark

[@Mandy-Lane]

having all those synths makes me jealous.. i wish i coul afford many of them

[@maccagrabme]

You dont need a lot. You can do almost anything using softsynths alone and just a couple of hardware low end to midrange synths combined with software gets you a far more powerful setup than the pro studios of a decade or two ago.

[@bd594]

thx ToM

[@strongocho]

I thought the boutiques were kinda lame, but just folded and bought a D-05 hahaha.

[@damion2226]

That TR-09 does sound pretty good.

[@venusiansky]

Tom, get a Dinsync RE-303 instead of TB-303. It is a DIY 100% replica of the TB-303. I'm sure you won't have any problem finding someone to build you one. The internals are completely identical to the original so you can even put the Devilfish mod in it. You can put the original 303 CPU in it, but there is a custom CPU available that is a clone of the original software but also includes extra features + MIDI. And best thing, you can get one built for a little more than $1k. It is like having a brand new TB-303.

[@st0rmchild]

Yep. The RE-303 is the only real replica. The rest of the clones (even the analog ones) are not in the same league. The TB-03 is actually pretty good though. It’s not a perfect emulation but in most cases it sounds close enough.

[@RishiBass]

toffe video!

[@ovestegan]

Boutique XL. Double the size of sliders,knobs and make space for a Boutique in the case for polychain.

[@saxophonedave]

would be good if you showed what you were doing when demo the jp08. I can't find that many great preset sounds on it.

[@renaudjungmann]

what a studio !!! 8O

[@12copablo]

Ah, that vst sound, finally in hardware....

[@junkiexlofficial]

Thats funny! I don't think your far off with that!

[@marksense]

lol

[@blakecasimir]

Why that is desirable: no computer, hands-on controls. Physicality. I will say though personally I'd really prefer to have an analogue recreation of the Junos / SH-101 in a Boutique size...

[@oscarmike1131]

BlakeCasimir the main issue for a lot of us would be room. 2 or 3 computers use less room than multiple Rolands

[@DennisMHenderson]

everything sounds liek fuck; of you knowd watchu are doing

[@ohstirfry]

I’m getting a tb03 tr 09 next year stocked

[@Trevor_Reznik]

great video again! i was a bit afraid the 909 could fall down ;-)

[@PopperEtudeFromHell]

I'm curious to know what differences exist between the sound engines of the TB03 & TR09 vs. the one I use in the JD-Xi. It has the sounds of the TB303, TR909, and even the VP330, but it's not the same I'm sure and I wonder what circuit elements have been retained and what else has been replicated purely by software. Great video. I will need to consider getting the TB03.

[@hieksuave6555]

not sure if it's because of the lack of eventide reverb ;-) , but I'm a little underwhelmed with the sound of these. Fun to have I'm sure for the quick hands on action and I get the simplicity charm, but these don't trigger GAS..for now, mm perhaps that tb-03 though? :) . Fun lill jam at the end.

[@finchman7654]

great vid!!!!!how do you route all this stuff?

[@kuja53]

Thats sad that you couldnt put in excellent A01 but anyway thank you for the great review. I personally own JX-03 and A01.

[@YoYoYo]

Chemical Brothers don't have a track with 303. For "Chemical Beats" they used Juno 106. :)

[@antonisfakiris505]

I would like to ask you your opinion for the Roland Boutique SE-02..

[@JuanAMatos-zx4ub]

Posted it only a few days before the new SE02 announcement! Would've been nice to hear your opinion about that since it was a collaboration between SE and Roland, and you have the actual SE-1's.

[@junkiexlofficial]

I just heard the demo's online... very impressive I would say

[@junkiexlofficial]

I watched the demo on good headphones... It sounds really good!

[@JuanAMatos-zx4ub]

It does. Over the years I've lost interest in Roland synths, but this one looks very interesting; SE makes really good stuff. Will have to try one out.

[@marctronixx]

I haved pre ordered one. Tom you should get the REV2 from DSI. Doe Maar vriend!

[@zach8439]

hell yeah!

[@xmodrecordshypersyncrecord843]

how do you think the TB-03 and the TR-09 compare to the TB-3 and THE TR-8. I have the Aira series stuff and I dig those sounds but not sure if these are better or maybe same.

[@johngorgis]

John Powers the new stuff sounds brighter but not better

[@JOHNG_TV]

Sir you are my worst nightmare in the flesh! You are my living alternative to my current state! You are me if I had money...AND I LOVE IT...I DONT HOW YOU GET ANY SLEEP!!!!!

[@MikeBaas]

The 909 is a little bit close to the edge of that table!!!!!

[@krabbediem]

Hold on?! I know I'm a liiittle bit late to the party, but is this *THE* Junkie XL? "Zerotonine"- and "Billy club"-Junkie XL?

[@MarkoDeLaVoota]

you are quite a collector, do you use it all , you have so much of it ,QUESTION ! does having so many instruments doesn't disturb your work ?

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Uh,... You have a lot of synthesizer there. Holy hell man. Can I just have one? You must have an old one put away somewhere that you never use. Lol.

[@Zeal808]

Man one of the best channels. Did you get the tr-08 yet? It’s not bad

[@halcyondaystunes]

Hardfloor for old skool 303s

[@chongstarr7836]

This is such an awesome video, but one question why did you not buy the tr08? I know you have the 808, but is the boutique not worth it?

[@jimmysaintnujesuplusone9575]

approved

[@PharoahsKingdom]

I was looking at the Boutique JU-06 for a while. Between the JU-06 and The JP-08, which do you think is worth the money if you had to choose one?

[@junkiexlofficial]

I would go with the JP-08... More versatile

[@matienazemy1382]

Some of the synths like the JP-08 aren’t available anymore. Why??

[@fantasyproduct1042]

Matien Azemy limited edition hence expensive second-hand value now

[@ohstirfry]

Sir did you grab the SE-02 it’s analog and it’s a little fatty boutique

[@styleguide01]

Hi Tom. Love your work, love these studio time series. Honest, this episode i feel is in the grey area that seperates information from advertorial.

[@junkiexlofficial]

But that's why I am doing this without sponsoring so I can say whatever I want! If I like I will say so and if I don't I will say it as well!! thanks for watching!

[@styleguide01]

+junkiexlofficial Dank voor je snelle reactie. Groeten Patrick

[@satansrobotho]

You think Roland paid him to pimp synths that they discontinued and retailers blew out on clearance months ago?

[@syrupcore]

Would be awfully fun to see just how far you could go with one of each boutique series device and a Roland MX-1 alone. I'm guessing pretty far! Roland, lemme know if you need my address.

[@kaankoc6155]

Do you trust danny elfman's music style will fit Justice League's serious and dark tone?

[@iamsamme]

no

[@kaankoc6155]

lets hope so 🙏

[@fairplay1200]

was weer een leerzame video thnx

[@julko28]

Do you still do some of the electronic/progressive tracks when you have a little of spare time? I really liked the one with Tiesto - Obsession. I suppose you still have some of the synths you have used before

[@junkiexlofficial]

Well I did the documentary distance between dreams which is full electronic and I did the new FIFA game coming out in September, also full electronic!

[@julko28]

Will have to check it out :)
