It's still got enough "Boutique-isms" that I hesitated to buy it. Went older-school and picked up a JV-1010, which has essentially the same capabilities - 4 part ROMpler with a flexible filter and high polypony/multitimbrality in a 1/2 rack. It was a cheap entree into that lush lush Roland soundscape :D
Getting ready to do an ambient/space livestream soon and have been meaning to dig into my JD-08 for the secret sauce. This is super inspirational! Thanks

very very nice session 👍. on paper they are both digital but the converters and the technology is different between the jd08 and jd800, what is your opinion about the sound of the jd08 compared to the original jd800, do you noticed any difference ?
@@technodrone313 Oh yeah? Like what kind of fx/reverbs are the best? I'm getting into hardware/pedals, I already have almost every top reverb software in the market.
@@SI-mf4jj I have a tr-6s which has decent reverb for the drums. for my synths i mostly just use the fl studio plugins that came with the pro license. I have a few hdw pedals too but just cheapo.
Well done! :) I was just taking a short break from playing the synths myself... Listened to this.... then listened to it again while playing on my setup and added some soft beats @ 75bpm. That was a lot of fun :)
Your cat behaves exactly like my cat!!! It's an Aegeian!!! Look it up!! White belly, round paws, talkative, doesn't munch like a madman, is muscular and listens like a dog!!! Mine is 22 and ongoing now... Enjoy your feline, they're wonderfull!!! PS: The music too ;-) Regards from Belgium!!!
hey martin, awesome sounds once again. how do you use the looper device actually? when i try to record takes into it i struggle to find a good starting and ending points. it records, but it stops promptly or there is so much space at the start - its never a proper loop when i toy around with it
A Looper in the format of Midi fighter twister would be amazing, someone needs to make that... just a little box with 16 knobs controlling the volume of 16 loops... overdub heaven
As always: Loveley (no, really, I really mean it). ❤❤❤ This music pushes me more into the mindset to buy a JD-08. If only there weren't so much other unused hardware-synthesizers here collecting dust in the shadows. (Hm ... the last one sounds like an album title) Thank you so much and all the best.🙂 (and kudos to Neptun 😸)
I sold my JD-08 'cause I already had a JV-1010 for those uber-lush Roland ROMpler sounds, but then I convinced myself I'd made a horrible mistake because of the front panel controls and the portability. Just bought another one. 😀 (For the JX-08, you can go software with MLVST's wonderful PG-8X VST. It's a bang on JX-8P emulation and it's free)
Nice reverb. Captures deep space atmosphere. I am having alot of contemplation over getting the jd08. Your video is the best so far .. the others not really getting to where I go as the presets are mostly cliche and others just don't show it off in a style I like.
The presets are just the original sound library from the JD800 and a few extra sounds, so I agree that there is room for improvement here. Unfortunately the JD08 is not accepting sound import or export, so I can´t even sell you my patches. :(
@@TimKrajcar I´d really like to see the software version from the Roland Cloud as an VST editor for the hardware! They already programmed the interface so why not use it as an editor?
@@MartinStuertzer JD can only backup the whole state into a single file (including the factory presets), so theoretically you can sell the patches. The only drawback would be it replaces the whole patches memory on import, but I’d gladly replace the 2 or 3 patches I managed to program myself with yours ;) just name your price ! :)
Hi Martin, great ambient music! I own JD-08 but really I don't know where to start with making patches like that in this synth. Do You have any tutorial how to create this kind of ethereal floating pads on JD-08 ?
bei der schönen Musik 🎶 möchte Neptun 🐱 extra Streicheleinheiten 😊 meinetwegen kannst noch weitere Sessions mit dem JD-08 machen. TOP, sehr gut geworden.
@@MartinStuertzer Wenn du eine deiner Improvisationen auf einem Album veröffentlichen willst, dann hast du vielleicht durch deine Erfahrung so etwas wie eine Routine, die du abarbeitest. Das fände ich interessant.
Aha, Neptun has picked new synth for your journey. Beautiful session. I feel there is something special in ambient music. Not harmony, maybe it’s layering or certain blend of timbres and sequences, i don’t know, but it’s magically good
Sounds massive! Nice jam! 👌🏻 I think your cat likes it! And it makes me want to get the JD-08! What are you using the Midi Fighter for? Are you controlling the JD with it?
Hi Martin I was hoping to be able to do real-time tweaking on the JD-08 itself - but it looks you are using the JD-08 controls mostly to control patches/tones (I think I saw an envelope tweak too). It the JD-08 itself not good for real-time patch tweaking, in your opinion?
Real time tweaking is not really the strength of the JD08, the faders are only 1,9cm short and there is no parameter catch / relative mode that prevents jumps when you load a patch.
Amazing improv! Like the sound, the chords, and the minimalist gig. I don’t get, though, how the Jd-08 - which I also own by the way, along with my Fantom 6 - gets the midi cc’s ? Is it plugged and powered by a computer ? :)
@@MartinStuertzer HI and thanks for posting the video, lovely sounds, well impressed. Just wondering what device did you use to connect the midi to your computer?
Wie immer super session! Wie macht sich denn der kleine JD-08? Ich bin noch etwas zögerlich bezüglich der mikroskopisch kleinen Fader. Ist ein genaues ansteuern von werten damit überhaupt möglich oder gibt es ähnlich wie zB bei Deepmind ein universellen Regler mit dem man zuletzt bewegten Fader genauer steuern kann, um das ganze zu erleichtern? Hatte zumindes die Hoffnung dass es sich bei dem etwas größeren Drehregler neben dem Display um sowas handeln könnte.
Tja ehrlich gesagt ist das wirklich kein Vergnügen, den am Gerät zu editieren. Um Sachen live zu schrauben ist er gänzlich ungeeignet weil es keinen Catch / Relative Mode für die Fader gibt, die tatsächlich gemessene 1,9cm kurz sind. Die vier längeren oben links können immer in allen vier Layern das steuern, was man zuletzt angefasst hat, das haben die vom JD800 übernommen. Aber auch hier gibt es dann Parametersprünge und das Display zeigt nicht an, wo der ursprüngliche Wert war. Das könnte wie zB beim Microfreak durch einen leuchtenden Punkt gelöst werden. Aufgrund der absurden Gebrauchtpreise (die Menschen sind halt ungeduldig!) wandert der wohl bald wieder aus dem Studio raus.
@@MartinStuertzer Danke für die flotte Rückmeldung. Leider genau alle Befürchtungen bestätigt. Denke dann sollte ich mich zusammenreißen und das Ding auch weiterhin liegen lassen. Zumal ich mir kaum vorstellen kann, dass Roland die Boutiques noch länger mit Updates supported, aber möglich dass ich mich da auch irre. Gruß + Danke
You can listen to this forever! The best demonstration, the best boutique from Roland.

Awesome! This calls for a minimal ambient session, with Iridium and JD-08 and nothing more!
Your music helps me with my anxiety. That is worth more than words can convey. Thank you.
Very nice dreamy ambient music.
I like the spacey wave sounds.
And of course, Neptune just had to make a guest appearance :)
Excellent ambient jam, i could listen to this forever!

Came here for the sounds of the JD-08. Stayed for teh Kitteh. Subscribed.
Astonishing
This is heaven
Deepness
Beautiful!
Fantastic. I put on some drone shots of Cornwall, to visually complement the experience of the music.
Just stumbled upon your channel. Lovely sounds and audioscapes. Very happy to have found you!
First keyboard I ever bought was the JD-800 I wish I kept it
If space had a symthony, it would be the sounds of Martin Sturtzer :D
Nice---really nice👍
Very good indeed,I am toying with the idea of getting one I have a ju-8a and a micro freak but need some lush pads and stringy thingys
This fits the bill especially running through the Valhallas
I will be running through strymon big sky and timeline
Thanks for the track and inspiration
🙏
i have to prepare myself for this better!
Did you create your own patches for this, really excellent
Cool 👍
very very nice session 👍.

It has been a few years since I got the JD800 so I don´t want to make a conclusive statement about this.
Neptun in his element 🙂
Klasse 😀, dass Du den schon hast?
Martin I think you could make space out of any synth. Even give you tb-303, you will make cosmic sounds out of it.🙋♂️😌
just need some fx

Check out TM-404 for ambient 303
It doesn´t matter what Synth Martin is using...each time he just makes it sound like him...awesome!
Well done! :)
I was just taking a short break from playing the synths myself...
Listened to this.... then listened to it again while playing on my setup and added some soft beats @ 75bpm.
That was a lot of fun :)
Good idea! I had some slow sequences running to this in an earlier version but then decided to go for a pure ambient track.
Wonderfull! Do you think about making a patch pack of these sounds? I'd gladly pay for it....
Very Micheal Sternsesque. Makes me want to build a small setup. Though I would be lost at first. Nice work as usual.
10:11 :D Cats and Synthesizers belong together since Wendy Carlos defined it.
I love your little friend that came in to help you out at 9:52!!
Huge request, record another ambient improvisation, please. I want to learn more about the possibilities of this device for creating textures
I love it! Special when you cat show in the camera. I will call your song Space Cat!!!!
Sounds amazing man, beautiful patches.
schön das deine Katze deine Musik genauso gut findet wie ich 🙂
Awesome sounds from the JD-08. Are you still using it?

The JD-08 makes some excellent sounds! It seems Neptun is very happy with it. You could call this piece Catenfreude...
Flying Spirit of Brand Synths World...Thks...(quel studio de rêve...
> pas assez de l'éternité pour l'explorer !) !

Not a real cat- simple video editing... :)
Man it sounds like Half Life soundtracks 😍
So good! I've been waiting anxiously for mine to ship. This helps take the edge off ;)
I’m in the same boat but I got the jx-08 one
Good sounds as usual. I love how the cat shows up but the take continues-cat doesn’t step on the synth controls, human doesn’t get distracted …
Kitty's like "I help!" :-D
Neptune !!!😻 (great sound Martin Like always…)
Beautiful sound from JD-08. Bravo Martin

The JD08 has a very small footprint, but yes, I feel your trouble! I´ll give Neptun a hug.
Sounds really nice, great job
Your cat Seems very interested .
I was on the fence between the JX and the JD but this video sealed the deal on the JD. You make beautiful music!

😹🐈⬛🐈
Sounds amazing!
Und Neptun schaut nach dem Rechten :-)
That's funny, I have the REAL JD-800 and use the same little Arturia because a third of the friggin keys don't work on the Roland!!!😂😩
Nice work, very relaxing music and sounds! How do you change patches with no cut of sound (seamless sound transition)?

Noob question - what’s the device to the left of the jd-08?
midi fighter twister
@@INFINITYREALM Thanks for jumpin in! That is correct, I use the Midi Fighter because I can customize it for every situation and control my liveset.
Thanks!
Great sounds! what parameters are you controlling on the 4x4?
This makes me want to go on a camping trip and do a solo concert out in the middle of a lake or Forest………
Very nice relaxing piece!!

Making the JD O8 sing like a baby. Glad I just bought one, thanks !
Hey, wirst du jetzt nach ein paar vergangenen Wochen den Synth behalten und kannst ihn ohne weiteres für komplexe Pads empfehlen!?

Thanks! I used the Midi Fighter to control the looping channels in Ableton.
Awesome demonstration in the form of a nice, longer Ambient piece. Thank you for your efforts! Now I have to order that JD-08.
Great work, love it 🤘🏼
Sounds amazing.
How many tracks do you have enabled, if you don’t mind me asking? Thank you

Is this synthesizer worth the money, in your opinion?
nice sound!
Do you record your loops as part of your performance ... or do you record them before hand prior to the start of your performance?
Be more impressed if was just the JD...
love it, love the cat too
small synth, big sounds.
As expected, mesmerizing drones seem to go on forever. 🤩
Very, very nice.Cosmos...!!!

Bonne musique de relaxation 😉
