@@SPAZZOID100 I mean the word "boutique" already means something expensive and exclusive, executed with a lot of care and detail. I don't think its applicable to those Roland devices...
Yeah, I’m not a huge fan of Roland’s ACB recreations of analog legends in their boutique series. Their life size ACB hardwares like the System 8 do really well in my opinion, though I’d always choose a genuine analog over virtual or digital. That being said, Roland’s Boutique versions of digital synths are amazing, and I have a couple in my collection.
I could already tell it was edgier than the original even before you compared them, but it's a beautiful tribute and I love that it exists. It's also "close enough" and the modern edge might actually be called for.
I have a problem. After a video a few months ago, I was so taken with the synth you demoed I said I’d give my left leg for it. Within weeks you were back again, and I said I’d give my eyeteeth to own the synth shown that time. No time later, I found myself saying I’d sell a kidney to own the next synth you walked us through. I am currently hospitalised, missing limbs, vital organs and teeth….and assessing whether I can sell the other kidney as this sounds great! Kudos sir. (Which is hard to say without teeth) 😬
Crazy that a desktop unit that's nearly 4 grand can save money. As much as I want one too, if I had the money for one, I'd get the Nina instead. Don't get me wrong. I want both. But just sayin'.
This is something a lot of people don’t understand when comparing vintage vs clone. I had, at one point, five 808’s for repairs and modifications. They all sounded different, sometimes not even subtle.
@@PWMaarten You really have to build/repair a few things to comprehend how much variance there is in everything that happens in an analog synth.

Ive been playing guitar for 25 years but your channel is really making me want to pick up one of these synth keyboards. Your videos are well made, entertaining, and you make some great music.

Been waiting for a decent head to head on the Ese-Nin to J-8, especially from someone who knows from Roland gear, like one Mr. Alex Ball. Roland has utterly eschewed the retro gear market, unlike Korg, and it’s certainly cost them in gear purchases on my part; one D-50 Boutique vs. an Arp Odyssey FS, MS-20 FS, Arp 2600M, and a MiniKorg 700 FS. I have given up hope they would have a moment of nostalgia and was definitely keen on knowing if the Black Corporation gizmo would satisfy the niche of a genuine Jupiter-8, and based on this vid, it seems it does. So, many thanks, Alex. I think I can put an order in now without buyer’s remorse afterwards.
To be fair to Roland, when I demoed the Jupiter-X and Juno-X against the originals, they sounded very, very good. They've dabbled with analogue, but their digital technology seems to work for them, so they push that. I respect their angle. But for an analogue replicant, the Ise-Nin is the one, really. No doubt others will follow suit.
Dear Alex Ball, good news: On start the Roland JP-8 will always perform the given split point as indicated by the arrow. But...: It can be temporarily shifted by holding the split key mode button down while playing any key, which then will become the new lowest note of the upper section. 😊
@@oblitafierOh I see, I thought it was setup as a keyboard split. With the lower part of the keyboard playing the Prophet bass, and the upper playing the chords on the ISI-NIN. Just because the left hand and right hand patches sound quite different. But I forget that this can do splits, maybe because only few synths of this type can. Makes it really powerful, and the price doesn't seem quite so steep considering that.
Usually the modern versions have a brighter high end and cleaner sound due to components, and it seems that way here. I would say the pad sound at 8.56 shows the Jupiter 8 being more lovely but I think it has a bit more detuning and resonance, so its possible that the NIN can be closer...love the jams - especially the last one! Great video and good job to Black Corporation - its a cracking synth for a fraction of what a J8 costs on the used market in a usable package...
I hear a slightly harsh resonance on the NIN vs the original, on a number of sounds.. the top end 'fizz' as someone mentioned, but I don't like the sound of that resonance (the OB-6 sounds better up top than the NIN from what I can hear). JP-8 sounds great of course.
yeah in the sound demos i found the Replicant a bit more brighter and harsher than the og jp8. they sound close but different. also great work as always mr ball
Excellent as usual. Considering you had to match sounds by using the sliders you nailed the match as well as could be expected. Nice synth. Surely much more affordable than a vintage one. We are living in the best of times for synths. We have new and vintage, digital and analog, complete units and modular Eurorack. If you can't find something that works for you, you are not looking very hard.
I tried to summon a Jupiter 8 for about half an hour with the magic words, but then I realized that it wouldn't work because I don't have an English accent. Bravo, sir, for another wonderful video. They do sound very close.
Hi Alex. That comparison with the Super Jupiter is a perfect example how people often overrate the “but it doesn’t sound exactly like the original” argument. Listened to in perfect isolation the sounds seemed rather different but used in a fuller arrangement / context the differences seem to almost magically disappear. Therefore my opinion has always been: Original or emulation, if the possibilities of the instrument fit to your style the last tiny differences mean very little. Just get on with it! Which also makes mince meat of the old analog versus digital discussion. And let nobody argue that I have probably never been near an original. 😁
For sure, it should be judged in its own right and any difference will always be judged as "wrong" because it's different. I did the comparison because it was the number one request I had when I announced I would be doing this video. People were intrigued, so I hopefully gave the answer for what it was worth.
Honey, wake the kids, the cats and dogs, gramma and grandpa, and our distant relatives! Alex Ball has a new video out!!! :D I absolutely LOVE your presentations, Alex.

Also FYI Jupitaire was the 13th month of the French Revolution new calendar
I think they nailed it perfectly, and it comes with less noise / age of components. If i had the money for either the black corp’s would probably be my choice
The ISE-NIN vs MKS-80 comparison was interesting. MKS-80 was more liquid and plastic sounding, versus the ISE-NIN capturing the Jupiter-8 metallic sparkle. A little harder edged sounding due to the ISE-NIN using SSI oscillator chips (triangle core) versus the original Jupiter-8 discrete oscillators (sawtooth core) - the oscillator chips in both revs of the MKS-80 are also triangle core. Overall, I'm liking the ISE-NIN more and more each time I hear it. I would still rather keep my Jupiter-8, but if I was forced to sell it, I would be more than happy with the ISE-NIN.
From unattainable to unaffordable. Maybe some day analog will come back enough not to be expensively niche. Fantastic little happy jams as usual mate. Always a welcome event when you post.
Great demonstration! For me, the sound difference on the pad sound and also on the heavy modulated one is really big. The stereo imaging is also different on all sounds. But you can’t here this in a mix. I m working also on jupiter8 videos at the time - but I only use it with the mono output. Now I will check out also your connection😊
Dat thing sounds even more gnarly than the original, it has more 'growl' in the lower registers while the original has a little more spark higher up.. Both sound beautiful though.
Nice! I've been trying the magic spells for a few hours now, and all I've got is a Bananarama cassette with no cover, a hedgehog wearing an eye patch, and a bag of expired Waffle mix. Oh well, I'll keep trying!

I mean, thats pretty much the whole point of what behringer is doing now.
Great demonstration! For me, the sound difference on the pad sound and also on the heavy modulated one is really big. The stereo imaging is also different on all sounds. But you can’t here this in a mix. I m working also on jupiter8 videos at the time - but I only use it with the mono output. Now I will check out also your connection😊
Dat thing sounds even more gnarly than the original, it has more 'growl' in the lower registers while the original has a little more spark higher up.. Both sound beautiful though.
That "Whimsy" demo was great.
Nice! I've been trying the magic spells for a few hours now, and all I've got is a Bananarama cassette with no cover, a hedgehog wearing an eye patch, and a bag of expired Waffle mix. Oh well, I'll keep trying!
Keep trying!
1:40 one sick freaking synth line :D GG's

These folks are doing what larger companies SHOULD be doing.
