The JU06A does have a ton of annoying limitations (4 voices!), but I like the sound so much (and the tiny desk footprint), I'm keeping hold of mine. Anything with compact dimensions earns major points for me (provided it sounds decent). The D-05 Boutique is fantastic in that regard, as it actually has more features than the D-50.
I’m the same. I hate anything not being used and i feel uneasy that it deserves to be used and feels like a luxury i cant afford having sitting boxed away
I’ve found sometimes I take it out of the box after a few years and then I have a use for it. It needs time to process in the brain. If I sold it, I’d have to buy another one, I’d probably not bother with the effort.
Great content, as usual 🙌. Regarding Dilla, on the book about him released last year (fantastic reading), it says that apparently "donuts" was mainly done in a laptop, and finalised by a collaborator of him. The image of him creating that masterpiece in a hospital bed with an sp and a portable turntable, is very powerful, but in a funny way, I kind of find reassuring to know that it was done in a laptop 😅.
As someone getting cozy with a Digitakt that was chosen for re-entry to making (after a looong overdue New Dad Hiatus), and had been waffling on a 2nd hardware-addition JX-08 or JU-06A vs. Liven XFM vs. used MicroFreak, to the point of resentment... That continued until I recently found & caved on a JX-08 for only $210-shipped. And of all the videos you could've dropped - it showed up just this morning & I couldn't have wished for a more well-timed reassurance. 👀
I found a cheap OP1 when the field came out and it was always my dream to own. I said who cares about the field, but I can't lie I'm a little jealous of it now
There’s so many OP 1 units for sale and everyone wants $800 for them 😅😢. I personally have the Field so I’m not in the market, but I can’t see them holding up that value right now.
@Jamarr Mays I tell you I just got mine 4 weeks ago for $800 but I'm lacking in skill not knowing piano and now I can't sample any more, all 8 banks have a sound saved and now I can't sample anymore ??! Anyone know how to clear them?
@@AstralVelvetV12 Check out "red means recording" op1 videos, he's made a bunch of great tutorial vids and you'll find a ton of info and tips on his channel, almost certainly got a playlist full of what you need.
Ha! Love that after selling all your drum stuff it was hardest to get rid if the snare. I was the same but ultimately it deserved to be played so it’s off doing just that now!
@@LiamKillen that’s awesome! If that was your snare, I bet you have some gems for cymbals. I agree, it takes forever to acquire the cymbals and have them pair and gel nicely together. I remember when I got the first cymbal that was truly musical sounding. You get it in an instant then. Mind you, even if I had those cymbals now, they wouldn’t likely work for me. I had some very loud stuff. Think you’ll ever get set up with another kit or will you just welcome the day if it happens?
@@ZenMountain well i guess he carries weight in the type of music i am into! and i suppose the top is relative too. I wouldn't even have a clue about who is in the charts right now. Diplo? Dead Mau-five? 😆

I hum and hah about selling my Boutique JP-08 and my Proteus/1. The Proteus needs its volume control fixed before I can sell it. I mostly keep it as a reminder to never settle for less - I really wanted a Roland U220 but stupidly was too impatient and once the money was spent, it was spent. Ironically, once used U220s became affordable I had lost all interest. I bought some patches for the JP-08 but never got round to trying them. I don't mind the cute little faders but sonically it lacks mojo.
I considered an OPZ at one point until I finally got my hands on one, it felt like one bad knock to it in a bag or something similar might break it. Then I found out that I wasn't too wrong as many people as I've seen that have partially bent their OPZ. As some one that has a background with acoustic instruments I can be picky about build quality especially for something I might be dragging around with me on the regular like a groovebox.
@@LiamKillen Yeah I actually was shopping for a groove box for several years until I finally settled down on picking up a second hand MC-707, while making patches can be a PITA on it I've found it hits the right balance of wants and needs for me personally.
You should check out the Roland JX08. I find I use it for house pads, I thought about the JU06 but to me the GX sounds a bit better and has a bit more to work with.
I’m actually restarting my whole set up because I had to sell everything off for personal reasons but watching your videos on the octatrack make me really want that
With my last syndrome of GAS, i did acquire quite a bit. A lot of stuff i really have and still am taking the time to learn but certain stuff is still just sitting there....
@@LiamKillen There's a bit of me which worries I will really need whatever it is one day, however I have never missed anything I have managed to sell so I think I am just cluttering up my workspace really.
Choice overload or overchoice is a cognitive impairment that occurs during a decision-making process when we are presented with too many options we cannot easily choose between. Our ability to make a good decision is reduced by the overload of choices, as is our satisfaction with the final decision
Oh man, other Roland Boutique synths? Definitely check out the SE-02. That synth just sounds MASSIVE. Great if what you’re going for is something like a MiniMoog. The three oscillators sound incredible. Since you have the FaderFox already, I’d opt to CC map that to overcome the small-ish knobs on it.
Man, I never sell anything. The used market is usually complete crap on the money you get back for it. It’s not like eurorack…makes me feel like I’m ripping myself off.
tryna sell my op1, didnt click with me. this device i wanted it before i started making music and before anything dawless but i would say that the OP1 got me into music without knowing it at the time
No not the ops. The OPZ birth allot of these synth channels including yours. I feel like allot of these channels lose their soul after they chuck their opz.

1: power off OP-1.
2:press and hold [com] (upper-right side) while turning OP-1 on.
3: press button number [7] to erase all saved sounds.
I sure as hell wouldn’t pay more than $300.
I read an interview with Chemical Brothers, and they were asked what synth the regretted selling. They’ve never sold any of the their synths.
Interesting! Not me though!
Can you tell whats interview please?
Ha! Love that after selling all your drum stuff it was hardest to get rid if the snare. I was the same but ultimately it deserved to be played so it’s off doing just that now!
he hardest is actually the cymbals- still not ready to let them go :-(

Hey what about the drumbrute impact? I would love more beat masterclasses with it and the echosystem or with your effect mixer please.
I've lent it to a buddy of mine! And I ant it back now!! Thanks for the reminder lol.
ooh how much for the oscilloscope? time to turn youtube comments into ghetto reverb
Lol! Not sure yet- some people have already reached out- I’ll be putting everything up soon
@@LiamKillen haha it was me that reached out about the oscilloscope!

Where did you get your knobs for the digitakt?
3d waves :-)
You have beautiful colour grading
Hey I appreciate that- I’ve spent a lot of time just prepping the room which helps
7:14 Lol I literally just bought the SX and now I have all 3
lololol
You should check out the Roland JX08. I find I use it for house pads, I thought about the JU06 but to me the GX sounds a bit better and has a bit more to work with.
Oh yeah I love the jx-08 !

House pads? Is this still the 90s?
@@rachelar - it’s whatever you want it to be 👍

Anyone know if homeboys released any physical mix tapes ? (Cassettes) ?
I do have physical cassettes actually on my Bandcamp: liamkillen.bandcamp.com/merch
With my last syndrome of GAS, i did acquire quite a bit. A lot of stuff i really have and still am taking the time to learn but certain stuff is still just sitting there....
Well … 😏
Roland Boutique SE-02 is pretty powerful ...for a monosynth. But, many would say the JX-08 might be the best of the Boutiques.
Jx-08 has been mentioned a bunch!
I have a really nice porta one I just had cleaned and calibrated. If you're still looking.
Oh really!!
I’ll try and keep track of this message- selling for how much?
@LiamKillen for you not much I honestly never looked it up.
@@LiamKillen I love a good trade as well.😊
I have a whole load of gear I should sell but I just can't bring myself to do it, I don't know if it's an inertia thing or a problem with hoarding!!!!
Yeah I get that- it kinda stresses me out
Or it’s just always there on my mind
@@LiamKillen There's a bit of me which worries I will really need whatever it is one day, however I have never missed anything I have managed to sell so I think I am just cluttering up my workspace really.

I identify with this
@@LiamKillen admission is the first step to recovery.
Painfully accurate description of every months long process of deciding what music gear to buy next. At least I know what to call it now haha.
portable tape recorder, wearerewind?
I heard about those!!! But they don't have pitch control.
Noooo not the JU-06A!
I’m thinking of picking up another boutique to replace it
@@LiamKillen Hmmm let me guess.....either a JX-08, or an SH-01A?
I owned both the 60 and 106. They took up way too much room and to me, the ju-06a sounds just like the originals and takes up minimal space.
@@schmapps1 the only two worth it coz not 4 note poly. Well 4 note is better than the original, sh101
I’ll buy that sx let me know
Haven't put it up yet-
Where's part 1?

Yeah for me it was just time to clear some stuff out.
Ahh. I bought another OP-Z for the 3rd time a few weeks ago. It’s a weird bit of gear, but I found it so useful once loaded up with my own samples
Yeah i understand the workflow of it- it’s great but feels like it’s time to move on for me
tryna sell my op1, didnt click with me.
this device i wanted it before i started making music and before anything dawless but i would say that the OP1 got me into music without knowing it at the time
It had a similar sort of effect on me
The Z ???
No way !!
😢 it was time. It’ll give me more time to focus on the octatrack 😏
@@LiamKillen I dug mine out just yesterday to drive the photogen? track from the digitakt.....
So many cool things
Liam where do you get those fat knobs from?
For the op-1? 3D waves!
@@LiamKillen Oh cool thanks! I suppose they also make those for Elektron.
I always regret doing that.
😅
Where are you selling at?!
They’re not up yet but locally and on reverb
I'll buy everything and I want the women as well. How much for the women?
🤔
@@LiamKillen Haven't you seen the Blues Brothers?
Garage sale
Pretty much lol
Sell something for buying something 🤓☺️
Pretty much- reinvest into maybe just one really cool item
That’s Ron what I’ll be doing
@@LiamKillen Elektron 🤓☺️
No not the ops. The OPZ birth allot of these synth channels including yours. I feel like allot of these channels lose their soul after they chuck their opz.
