It's sad that so much trance music has become so cheap now. This type of sound was how I was introduced to trance as a kid and loved it. I could rock out to it or even fall asleep to it. Didn't matter, I just couldn't get enough! Then it seems like around 2010 almost everyone started composing this new crap. Even artists from before then went and changed their style. Thank you for this! It brings back so many pleasant memories!
There are still really good progressive trance songs with heavy stabbing detuned super saw. The 1990s and 2000s Trance is the original gaming EDM music.
"I used to be very active in the trance scene" *googles "Estuera" > Jonas Steur* Woah shit man, what's up!!! Always cranked your stuff on ASOT's or YT back in the day. Glad to see you're doing well. College and adulthood caught up with me. Flash forward to 2022 and I'm sitting in front of my own 8080 watching the man himself program! Cheers!
Thanks for sharing this ❤I think that 1998-2005 really was the Golden Age of Trance. So many legendary tracks were released during that period: 1998, LED There Be Light, Carte Blanche, Madagascar, Greece 2000, For An Angel, Halcyon, Gouryella, Flaming June, Seven Cities, Open Our Eyes, Out of the Blue, Superstring....... Too many to mention! Loved that era. Wish we could bring it back!

This video and sound brings so many memories. I was 17 in 1999, I was already into the early 90's euro/italo dance (I'm italian) and I remember hearing those new mindblowing sounds in the late 90's/early 00's dance songs. Great video as usual, always a pleasure to watch
I remember going into the music store all of the time just to play with the JP-8000. I wanted one SO badly when they came out, but couldn't afford one. Around 2002 or so a friend of mine had one and wanted to trade it. He wanted the MC909 Groovebox. I said done and bought one off of ebay and traded him for his JP-8000. I still have it. Don't think I will ever get rid of it. I certainly never used it for trance despite also writing electronic music. The JP-8000 also had the ability to create really dark and interesting sounds and that's why I wanted it.
You hit the nail on the head. Same for me (I've owned 2 now) I never used it for happy ethereal string pads trance but I used it for amazing dark bass lines that morphed and thick leads and pads and many evil risers, drops and sound design in general plus that feedback knob on a midi synced clock in the delay fx section is awesome!
Every time I hear "out of the blue" it's an instant trip back to shivers and the hair standing on my neck.. not my favourite track ever, but such an iconic sound and instant burst of energy. Burnt into my brain!
I really like this kind of euphoric Trance. You made a great demonstration of this legendary synth ! I hope Roland will soon release a vsti version of it !
Iconic synth. Like it or not Roland really helped define the genre with the 8000. The rack model looks a bit sturdier than my keyboard, with its plasticky case and wobbly knobs, but both of them share that lovely blue/black/orange panel.
Yep. I wouldn't say I was there in the Dutch clubs, but I do remember this stuff turning up on the radio and at parties and this is could easily have been a track from back in the day! Nicely done
This comment was supposed to be on the Happy Hardcore video. TH-cam switched over to the next one in the playlist before I had noticed. (my comment still stands)
Your positive vibes, your vast musical knowledge, your attention to details --> all of this makes your videos highly enjoyable :) Keep up the great work!
I hated trance back then but this sound is lovely nostalgia, but can now appreciate the euphoric feels it gives. Undeniable power that informs so much of today’s music.
I could not agree more. Being able to make ‘just 4 to the floor’ music that is even interesting to people who do not dance (like me) is a real gift. It is all about using the layers of sound to tell a story. Not only going for the ‘climax to drum roll to kick+bass’ trick…
This is the first synth I bought in 1998 and have been missing it since selling in the 2000s.. there's always a place for this sound... Love it thanks for making this video
Great work and sounds you are showing us on this Legend. To me still one of the best VA’s of all time. I still have my Supernova II, which I will also keep forever.
The gated pads sound perfect, as well as the main lead. Thank You for this presentation - yes, JP-8080 is definietly powerful synth. Great final track too!
A defining synth for a musical genre, love it! This was the main synth in the early Ferry Corsten discography, but also used by so many others. The JP-8000 doesn't always get the credit and attention it deserves, great video!
Really good representation of the JP-8080. This brings me back to the smell of fresh new vinyl's and looking for the golden trance records in the record store. Awesome composition at the end, thanks for sharing!
Takes me back. Really was trance in a box! You totally captured the sound of that era in the track you made. Wouldn’t sound at all out of place in a big name set once you add the ‘played it every night for 6 months’ vinyl effect.
Old school all day for me! You nailed it again Jonas 🙂I had the 8000 and 8080 for a while now I want one back!! haha. I still have the Virus B and AN1X.
I picked one of these up a few months ago and it was like owning an artifact of my childhood, heaven in a blue box. The JP-8000/8080 always had this ethereal, otherworldly, almost emotional sound to it heard in tracks from 4 Strings, Faithless, Darude, Armin Van Buuren, etc. And while it is the "de facto" trance synth it makes a good supplement for other genres too (as you demonstrated with that epic Alpha Juno hoover recreation at 7:40). The JP is absolutely timeless
Now you've done it. You made me miss my JP-8000 and JP-8080. I freaking loved those machines, and just hearing that Out of the Blue-sound makes me want to get one again. Beautiful. Awesome track too, great video!
Me too sold my one out of need and my beloved sh101 at the same time for peanuts compared to their current value and have never regretted anything more!
I would LOVE to learn how to do this kind of thing one day. Creating my own music like trance and ambient would be amazing - loads of nostalgia from those JP8080 sounds, takes me right back to the 90s. So cool 😎👍❤
Hey just wanted to say - this video made me get a JP8080. There’s really no other way to get that classic sound, and this synth can do so much. Those early VAs had so much character
wonderful synth and sounds (pad at 4:30 love). Lucky enough to own one in pretty much mint condition like this also. Hope to see more of this classic trance stuff here. Great memories. Thanks
Very good video. It was in my opinion the ultimate trance machine. I sometimes regret selling my jp8000🥲. It was my first synth i ever owned and learned a lot about synths exploring it. But i had to sell it to finance my quantum. I miss you good friend.
This is exactly the sound, bravo, should release this track man! The running couple/people theme and the moving skies is also just so late 90s/early 00's
Awesome video! I always wanted this bad boy back in the day when I was a teen but could never afford it. I think I might start hunting for an 8080 now 🎹🤙
This and the Access Virus were the trance lead monsters. I always wanted one in the 90's but couldn't afford any of the gear as a kid. Instead just made badly mixed trance tracks in early Fruity Loops (before it was known as FL Studio).
Your classical trance music is all compatible with the biggest 90 songs! The sound of the rhythm and mixing is very nice! Thanks for making these videos! Do not stop!
Wonderful video about one of my fav hardware synths of all time! Great demos also. I really adore this slightly blue samurai with a bright green heart and I own one in my home studio. But I`m not a trance-guy only)) I making with it just everything I want to produce or recreate analog-like sounds , even different classic sci-fi movies sfx, some of crazy noises, chiptune blips n blops, C64-ish/Amiga arpeggios and etc. JP-8000 can do everything and even more (of course if you know how to do).
Yeah it's way more than the super saw it's famous for, it's capable of absolute Sonic mayhem from the deepest subs to the highest highs - a sound design monster!
Just found your channel, while your other style videos are awesome, its clear you used to make proper trance because this track is amazing! Sounds are absolutely massive and a much better mix than 2000s trance has while having the vibe.
love my JP8K to bits, tried many VSTs and VAs like the AN1x, but it never scratched that itch. until the JP8K that is, the hands on feel and the sound of it, people used to hate it for the aliasing and stuff but thats the charm with it's sound :D
Finally you’re back 🤩🤩 Using the Jp-8000 in thevstudio back in 2001-2004 I feel the essence is bigger soundscapes and longer/bigger reverbs and of course supersaw/unison on everything 😂 Keep sharing, J 🤩
I bought an 8080 back some time ago and have never used it. Just after getting it and an MS2000R I had to concentrate on other things so it's been sat in a storage unit for several years. Roll on getting back to it, sounds great.
Fantastic work, fantastic synthesizer. It makes me wish for a 90s revival moment just like with the 80s and Synthwave/Retrowave. BTW, Fall To Pieces is AMAZING, you made it sound so unique ;D.
I love everything about this video! I was unfortunately born a decade too late so I didn't get to ecperience the club aspect of trance before it went belly up around 07. Nevertheless I was in love with trance ever since I saw Robert Miles's - Children on a german chart show at 6 in the morning when I also was 6. The music video was so spot on for that era. Absolutely beautiful
Finally, a good video about jp-8000 and his strong connection with trance music. Ps. Ferry Corsten was also a big fan of this beauty. Thanks again very elaborated.
The JP80X0 is probably the best hands on synth ever, especially for Trance guys. The Yamaha AN1X for sound is better than the JP, it's just a shame they didn't incorporate a more hands on approach like the JP did. Great video!
Love lead you’ve created. The Roland JP-8000 (and JP-8080) are one of my most favorite hardware synthesizers of all time. Unfortunately I don’t have the hardware anymore. But I’ve found a virtual soft synth that’s really a gem and is available for the iPad. It’s called Sunrizer Synth made by Beepstreet and based on the legendary Roland JP-8000. It’s really awesome. Hook up my MIDI keyboard and I’m good to go. The price is only €9.99 in the App Store. If you own an iPad, I can highly recommend Sunrizer Synth.
The master of synth tutorials! Great video as always Jonas! And sorry for the radio silence; I've been busy with loads of stuff. Will get back to our idea soon!
The track you made for this video is officially my favorite of all the videos you've released Jonas! Then again, like 50% of what I listen to is trance from between 1997 and 2005 😂 Nothing beats that JP-8080 Supersaw sound that dominated Anthem Trance from 1999 to 2001 and I don't care if it's cliche or cheesy! The Supersaw defines trance, especially because trance was the most popular dance music genre in the world when the Supersaw sound dominated trance. Fantastic job again! Make more classic sounding trance and release it as a single please 🥺 It's been time for a revival of the old sound! Look at the fanfare and immediate popularity of the new Enigma State release - In My Fantasy/Enigmatic! Enigma State has already sold all 500 vinyl copies that were made, and the digital release apparently has been quite lucrative, especially for an independent label release! Think about it please?
The sound of this synth just triggers this primal feeling in me. Like the strongest feeling of nostalgia. This synth made my childhood.
I feel the same way! 😁
Behringer gonna copy it but with analogue filters
@@synthetic24 I am guessing bigger version is in works. Yes, small version sounds different because signal Path is different.
Man I wish you did a masterclass on Classic Trance production.
I’d watch every episode. A few times probably 😅
Yes yes yes, id buy it instantly
Yes!! I would learn keyboard and pay for such a master class just to be able to compose music like that!
Stupid Arpeggio and gate sounds.. wtf
A droning piano and four on the floor.
It's sad that so much trance music has become so cheap now. This type of sound was how I was introduced to trance as a kid and loved it. I could rock out to it or even fall asleep to it. Didn't matter, I just couldn't get enough! Then it seems like around 2010 almost everyone started composing this new crap. Even artists from before then went and changed their style.

Yeah! So many trance producers changed their style. So sad :(
Speaking of cheap. I sure was looking forward to getting my hands on the behringer micro synth designed to emulate the jp8000 for $50 🤑

Unfortunately I couldn't get good footage of running with a suitcase 😬

Seven Cities is a killer track. I also love Saltwater by Chicane, it sounds so atmospheric.
L.E.D. There be Light released in 2008
Armin shed tears watching this video, I love these sounds with all my heart, trance is divine music!
Im blown away at what a power house this thing is. The sound you crave at your finger tips..
God I miss the 90s. Great track! It was like being there again.
They are so many classic analog sounds in this unit. The potential is way above producing trance. Thank for the beautiful demo. Cheers from Canada.
This video and sound brings so many memories. I was 17 in 1999, I was already into the early 90's euro/italo dance (I'm italian) and I remember hearing those new mindblowing sounds in the late 90's/early 00's dance songs. Great video as usual, always a pleasure to watch

The Rack model also had more Polyphony than the Keyboard version :)
I still like these synths... they have a great, distinctive sound and are easy to use!
Jonas Its so Good to have you back!
And I’m soooo happy you did a video about the incredible 8080!

Does it still have the same magic 25 years later?
YES!
Some of the best music production content out there. Always a pleasure to watch your stuff!

The JP-8000, my favorite beast ! Thank you very much for this amazing video, the rack version is also interesting in a certain way !
Oh man, hearing Out of the blue again. I used to listen so much to whatever Ferry Corsten would release :)
A defining synth for a musical genre, love it! This was the main synth in the early Ferry Corsten discography, but also used by so many others. The JP-8000 doesn't always get the credit and attention it deserves, great video!
Do not forget M.i.k.e. Push. He and Ferry used a lot the JP 8000 in those years!
Really good representation of the JP-8080. This brings me back to the smell of fresh new vinyl's and looking for the golden trance records in the record store. Awesome composition at the end, thanks for sharing!

until the JP8K that is, the hands on feel and the sound of it, people used to hate it for the aliasing and stuff but thats the charm with it's sound :D
Sick Synthesizer & track!!!
Killer track! The vibe is spot on. Would've done very well back in the day! Keep up the awesome work!
What a beautiful synth
Finally you’re back 🤩🤩 Using the Jp-8000 in thevstudio back in 2001-2004 I feel the essence is bigger soundscapes and longer/bigger reverbs and of course supersaw/unison on everything 😂 Keep sharing, J 🤩
I bought an 8080 back some time ago and have never used it. Just after getting it and an MS2000R I had to concentrate on other things so it's been sat in a storage unit for several years. Roll on getting back to it, sounds great.
Fantastic work, fantastic synthesizer. It makes me wish for a 90s revival moment just like with the 80s and Synthwave/Retrowave.
BTW, Fall To Pieces is AMAZING, you made it sound so unique ;D.
Thanks a lot!
I love everything about this video! I was unfortunately born a decade too late so I didn't get to ecperience the club aspect of trance before it went belly up around 07. Nevertheless I was in love with trance ever since I saw Robert Miles's - Children on a german chart show at 6 in the morning when I also was 6. The music video was so spot on for that era. Absolutely beautiful
Finished track is awesome
Finally, a good video about jp-8000 and his strong connection with trance music. Ps. Ferry Corsten was also a big fan of this beauty. Thanks again very elaborated.
The JP80X0 is probably the best hands on synth ever, especially for Trance guys.
The Yamaha AN1X for sound is better than the JP, it's just a shame they didn't incorporate a more hands on approach like the JP did.
Great video!
The Lord agree's with this "Trance" statement.
Geweldig! Ik heb ook altijd een JP-8080 willen hebben.
Love lead you’ve created. The Roland JP-8000 (and JP-8080) are one of my most favorite hardware synthesizers of all time. Unfortunately I don’t have the hardware anymore. But I’ve found a virtual soft synth that’s really a gem and is available for the iPad. It’s called Sunrizer Synth made by Beepstreet and based on the legendary Roland JP-8000. It’s really awesome. Hook up my MIDI keyboard and I’m good to go. The price is only €9.99 in the App Store. If you own an iPad, I can highly recommend Sunrizer Synth.
The master of synth tutorials! Great video as always Jonas! And sorry for the radio silence; I've been busy with loads of stuff. Will get back to our idea soon!
Bought one 3 years ago for a very nice price just before nostalgia kicked in. Iconic synth
Yesss! Waited long for this, even aquired more synths in the meantime.
The track you made for this video is officially my favorite of all the videos you've released Jonas! Then again, like 50% of what I listen to is trance from between 1997 and 2005 😂 Nothing beats that JP-8080 Supersaw sound that dominated Anthem Trance from 1999 to 2001 and I don't care if it's cliche or cheesy! The Supersaw defines trance, especially because trance was the most popular dance music genre in the world when the Supersaw sound dominated trance. Fantastic job again! Make more classic sounding trance and release it as a single please 🥺 It's been time for a revival of the old sound! Look at the fanfare and immediate popularity of the new Enigma State release - In My Fantasy/Enigmatic! Enigma State has already sold all 500 vinyl copies that were made, and the digital release apparently has been quite lucrative, especially for an independent label release! Think about it please?
