=================================
The Roland JP-8000 was released in early 1997 as part of the first wave of virtual analog modeling synthesizers (VA synths). Others from that period included the Clavia Nord Lead (1995), Korg Prophecy (1995), Access Virus (1997) and Yamaha AN1x (1997). VA synths had the goal of recreating the sound, functionality and user interface of classic analog synthesizers. The JP-8000 was viewed at the time as the modern digital incarnation of the classic Roland Jupiter-8, from 1981. The programming interface, synthesis options and general tone is very similar to Roland's Jupiter-6 as well. The JP-8000 sought to digitally reproduce the warm analog tonalities and sheer power of its analog predecessors. Although it lacked somewhat in analog warmth due to its early digital architecture, it added many new features, such as RPS (Realtime Phrase Sequencing), which allowed short sequenced phrases to be assigned to keys, and such as motion control. It also featured the unique Supersaw oscillators and analog-style controllers such as an arpeggiator and an assignable touch response ribbon control.
The JP-8000 had several features that differed from other analog modeling synthesizers of the time. Most notably, Roland's unique oscillator types ("Feedback" and "Supersaw") and the use of sliders instead of rotary encoders (knobs) to edit patch parameters. The Supersaw in particular was the reason why the JP-8000 was particularly successful as a main keyboard (along with the Virus) in the dance music market, especially for trance music. Just like what the Roland TB-303 had done for acid house and acid techno, the JP-8000's Supersaw leads became characteristic of a certain type of trance music that can be roughly called "Anthem Trance", where a melodic, powerful lead based on a Supersaw patch provided the hook and melody throughout the song. The sound processor is 16 bit.
In 1998, Roland released a 6U, 19" rack version of JP-8000 called the JP-8080. The JP-8080 combined the analog modeling sound engine of the JP-8000 with additional features such as an internal vocoder. The JP-8080 also had three times the number of patches and performances, an additional Noise waveform on Osc 2 and a distortion effect. Due to these changes all JP-8000 patches are compatible with the JP-8080 but not all JP-8080 patches are compatible with the JP-8000. In popular usage however the two synthesizers are usually thought of as identical in regard to sound architecture (often referred to collectively as JP-80x0). - เพลง
Small selection, a handful of my favorites here, displaying the warmth (and sometimes coldness...) of the 8080/8000 pads. Why the video is darker towards the end? I shot the video in daylight and suddenly clouds were gathering; the sky darkened.
Quite an era ! The sounds are incredible. It sweats the late 90's, and what a good smell!
Excellent performance!
Nicely put!
Airwave... OMG!!! Automatic Goosebumps.
Well to be honests all of them.
Goosebumps, because of these classic sounds ❤
Fantastisch 🎉
adagio for strings....right there in the beginning! You got my sub for that! I do videos too! This is a great demo of this classic roland!
Thanks! You have some nice gear yourself!
Feels warm yet cold at the same time. The JP-8000 VA engine is great!
It depends on the waveform. The saw has this Goa Trance aliasing. The rest are warm and well rounded. But the synth has a tendency for that high range noisy his. Still, it has very good low ends.
Man the JP’s sound beautiful. Nice demo
Wow this sounded great! 👍
Wooooowww!! 😍😍😍😍
nice work man ! one year 4 part 2 :D
Better late than never, let's look forward to 2025 together.
Nice demo! Mind if I ask where you got your module? I am currently searching all over and can't seem to find one for over $2000
I got mine from ebay years ago. Seems like there's no one selling there for a reasonable price currently though. There is a facebook group for the 8080/8000 where people often sell modules for fair prices.
You should try making a lfo on pitch modulation pluck lead heard in tracks like
Dash berlin-going it alone
Dash berlin-better half of me
Dash berlin-when the world falls apart
Good idea. Dash Berlin has so many geat songs.
where can i get some old 90s trance midi from mate
jp 8000 supersaw still has not been faithfully recreated in softsynths yet. Close. But not yet.
Agreed
Softsynths all have this cold hard digital feel if you ask me. I really almost cant enjoy any new music that uses a lot of plugins and soft synths. Sounds trash to me unless msybe roland cloud.
what is interesting is although named differently, at the core they are all the same sounds.
Yeah they are all supersaw with slight differences. But that is also what was used in these songs.
Are you sure these are different presets? They all sounding the same..
The JP8080 is a good sounding synth, no doubt. However, if you count in its price on the 2nd hand market, you better buy a Novation Peak. It simply surpasses the JP on every level. Just sayin'
The 8080 has become a collectors item for sure and as such the price has gone up. The supernova was also a great synth but I haven't heard the peak yet.
Considering it was over $2000 usd in 1999 I’d say it’s a bargain now since the sound has not been truly duplicated by any other hardware or vst yet.
