I am going to get this synth somehow before dying... As soon as I hear this synth, I recall Blade Runner Scenes...
Update: Got it in mint condition in May 2021, just seen my comment over here and wanted to share. What a fantastic synth!
yeah, because that cs-80 is just out of reach for 99.9 % of the population hahahah! im healthly envious of your purchase!
get the vsti version and stop longing for death
YEA_same_saw a mint one for $3K_they'll be around_for now just got Roland Cloud JD-800 + StudioLogic Sledge as midi keyboard_in the mix it'll work_earn those hardware rewards from the work returns💫
@@MrMusicopath i hear you_but_especially given the current agenda against our supply chain_food_energy_currency_nothin' wrong w/ being aware of space-time & compiling a 'must do' list 'cause ya never know😶🌫
@@kaizen5415 Cool.
I love it when someone can also play the sounds in a style that showcases them in their best light
Yes! They’ve done an awesome job!
Yes he has
I remember drooling over this synth when I was a poor college student. I would just put on headphones and play all the patches in the music store for an hour. Today I have 4,000X as many synth patches and infite ROM memory and sample in my soft VSTi synths. And I think I'm worse off in writing music. It's like Netflix... I spend more time browsing all the things I can watch rather than actually picking something and watching it. Decision paralysis!
David Randolph Amen brother!
So true. I spend an entire evening browsing Netflix and then give up and go to bed. I always lusted after this synth. The sheer number of sliders made it seem so awesome.
I've always felt that's the root problem for learners on digital keyboards where here are 100, 200 or more voices + loads of rhythms etc. The temptation to doodle and explore can swamp the determination to concentrate, focus and learn. Play becomes more important than playing.
Yes It is addictive and IMO kills the creation of music. Right from the start of MIDI. I have gone back to playing a real instrument.
You are right, much more to choose much more confusion in your choose. It is other side of the commerce!
Everybody craving for analog classics... bro... digital ones were just as good! This one is absolute legend.
I like the Roland D50 more, virtual analog + samples and ring modulation.
For a synthesizer made in 1991, this never fails to give you the most superior sound.
There were a lot of great synths made in the late 80s to mid 90s that were fantastic. I was a young man in my 20s in the early 90s. That's why I get PO'd when whipper snappers say really old synths from the 90s or classic synths from the 90s. I'm not old dag nabbit.
The greatest synth I sold! Made in a period when keyboards were designed like classic guitars and manufactured with thoughts of the end user, love and integrity a vital ingredient.
I had access to one in a studio. For myself I never played on a more creative keyboard, a beast of a machine. It just inspired.
Legendary synth. This and the Wavestation is my 2 favorite synths from the 90's.
Oh The synths of my dreams! crystal clear sounds.
I once tried this synth in the music shop back in the day, and I remember thinking that every patch was like a song in itself. You can make an entire ambient soundtrack with a few key presses. Never came across anything like it since.
I have 11 synths knocking around here, 1 of them is the JD 800...I can say there about 6 synths in my collection that blow this away sound wise and presets.
I still prefer my D50 over this also.
Korg M3 destroys it.
Think I've watched this 100 times, directly lead to me picking one of these awesome JD 800's up a while back!
Thank you, Marshal!
Kevin Moore used one of these when composing songs for Dream Theater's Images and Words. A virtuoso using this is half of the reason why the album is so flawless.
you are right. very beautiful keyboard line in this album.
I love the keyboards on this album so much!
My life quest is to know how he got the sound on the intro of Metropolis
Nop - no outboard gear in this video, it is straight through the audio interface to the computer. The JD-800 simply sounds like that :)
I feel like the module version (JD-990) is one of the best synths Roland ever made,. Would love to get my hands on one, plus those killer sound library cards.
@@trevorwoodley3897 I have one and I agree :D
Sigh! I miss my JD800 12 years ago (the old electrical parts are almost impossible to find)..I might have the Motfs,Fantom synths plus other plug in synths on my laptop now, but still cant find anything quite like this God sent synthesizer. Mucking around with the sounds onboard was what help made it so darn special...Used to use it a lot in most of my film scoring.....JD..I miss u...sob! sob!
That 53 piano patch is such a recognisable house piano sound !
That was a great time to have this synth under your fingers. I sold it for a love, money was in need and after that, I swore to myself, never sell an instrument, keep them I remeber the three exensions cards they gave us, the string extension was awesome
This synth is a beast, an out of control monster. Bought mine about ten years ago. just a slight adjustment of a slider and your neighbors will move out, thinking your house is possed. Scares the living daylights out of me. beautiful to look at, lovely contours, looks like a stealth bomber. Very heavy but a joy to play. Still used today. A Roland classic. Roland have a habit of making classic synths a formula they should have stuck with. but alas, they have made some bad ones. Why they haven't brought out a VST, i don't know. I don't mind digital. I have had no glue problems. if you can afford to buy one, get one. I'm sure the price will rocket. I feel so fortunate to own one, and would never sell.Just need a Jupiter 8, and six. Had a jupiter 4, and Sh2. learned my lesson, prices are going through the roof. Thank you for sharing Great playing. Moog.
In reality it very much sounds like any other Roland JV rom player. Resonance on digital filter not great.
@@alexsartandmusic Then a year later, Roland did finally made a VST version of the JD-800
I can't help myself but I just love that rolandeus sounds. Always was my favourite synth-brand.
Great play with these!! Thank you a lot! 💜
Honestly....the thing you play on 13 Crystal Rhodes is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.
Thank you very much, that's so very kind
Still have mine from new - Roland sent me over, must have been, some of the last rubbers for under the keys - an experience ... she's been resting awhile but if a move comes hopefully will find a studio place once again. It's a Love - Love situation....
I bought a Korg T3 back in 1991 and the JD800 came out around that time. I lusted over this keyboard as it would have been a great complement to the Korg sound, but it was very expensive due to the fact that it had so much real time hardware. I always played it when going into a music shop at the time and I also loved the JD990. I ended up eventually owning 3 x JV1080s and an XV3080 all filled up with expansion boards. They were golden times! If I remember correctly, I think that Keyboard Magazine gave the JD800 their hardware innovation of the year award in 1991 because at that time, there simply weren't any synths coming out with so much real time control with all those faders, knobs and switches? Great demo and fantastic playing. Keep up the great work buddy.
I have a T3 myself, they're excellent synths. I traded a Leslie for it. I still need to find a JD-800.
@@nathanbrown816 the T series were everything that the M1 should have been in the first place. They were priced way too high, hence why Korg didn't have the same success with the T Series like they had with the M1 and the later 01W series that were priced better.
Thanks for giving me this trip back into my past ... bought mine in 1997 or so ... broke finally down 2008 ... miss it ... was a GREAT tool ... so thanks for recalling the memories of the factory presets ;-) .. the funny fact is, if I hear some of the sounds I still instantly "see" their PRG-number in my mind ;-))
Back when this synth came out I used to hang out a lot at Amptown in Hamburg, Germany. There was ALWAYS a line of people waiting to demo the JD-800!
Can you all see how he played all the instruments completely beautiful put together. Lovely
Literally the first patch in and I'm already in awe, Great stuff!
Thank *you* for watching :)
2:10 Wailing Guitar
17:29 Macho Swell Just Epic!
5:04 - You know I’m a dreamer, but my heart’s of gold!
Got this beast a little over two years ago. I'm a drummer but I love sound design. =)
I wanted one of these since the day it came out but it took until now. It can make some amazing sounds.
Love your playing :-)
I have the JD-800 and the JD-990, and a D-550, all classic gems that will never again leave me :-)
Rik Vanhoenacker I still have my D-50!!
I have the impression that the D50 is more versatile soundwise. Can you confirm this to be true or false please? I listened toD50 demo's and I have the impression it has more sounds.
Lawrence O doubtful. The D-50 has 8 bit PCMs used as transients. The JD-800 has 3MB of 12 bit PCMs in ROM and another 1MB of RAM. The D-50 has 1 EG and the JD-800 has 3. Both have 3 LFOs. The effects unit on the D-50 has chorus, reverb and EQ, while the JD-800 has chorus, reverb, EQ, delay, distortion, phaser, spectrum and enhancer. The D-50 has a resonant low pass filter. The JD-800 has a resonant multi mode filter with low pass, band pass and high pass filters. So Roland had a few more years to perfect Linear Arthimetic Synthesis and give the JD-800 a more powerful synth engine. Both store 64 patches.
I agree! :) I too have all those synthesizers! They are classic gems! Thanks for keeping the Facebook group going as well. I appreciate it. Take care, Samuel D. Williamson.
Killer pad sounded incredibly beautiful!
This is still one of the best things Roland ever made. The 90's was saturated with it. From memory, not a single dumb fake guitar sound, just pure digital synth goodness.
Yes there one or two fake guitars,which I hate,except for the 'wailling guitar' which I think is unique in synthetizer world (the feedback...!)
Quite a few famous sounds on here. A couple that spring to mind:
22 Clasic Sweeper -- Pet Shop Boys - Music for Boys
51 Hearts of Space -- Genesis - Hold on my Heart' (perhaps with some slight editing)
Not only does it sound awesome but this dude playing RIPS
Paolo is a fantastic player.
Congratulations!! It's the best keyboard demostration You are am amazin musician!!. and Roland JD- 800 is a beautiful instrument, I cant believe it!!
Of all the gear I had back in the day, this is the one keyboard I wish I had kept... Absolute classic!!!
That is one great synth. They just don't make them like the JD-800 anymore. I still have one left in my studio and I will never let it go. I have the same PCM sounds in my Fantom G but they just don't crank out like they do on my JD-800. Wonderful sound and a dream to program. Roland had a winner here. The shape reminds me of the B2 Stealth bomber. Very cool.
Is one of the top 5 best sounding vintage synths out of the hundreds that exist 1968 to 1998, but other people dont know this or say this or list it in the top 5 and no one made a VST Emulator, I dont know why this is. The Population and Audio Synth Community sometimes has low perception and gets things wrong sometimes., This synth is what made those 1990s Danish Goa Tracks sound so much better than other Goa and Melodic Trance when PsyGone , The-Ozone and others used them, and they sound far better than any online demos too. Tyoe Biller Typhoon. Type Psygone Costra Nemus, listen to these JD- 800 tracks. and others like Le Satchi Dream Mix
True!
Do you mean the fantom has the JD800 patchs?
mattsynth I just came across one today in a pawn shop for only $200! But on plugging in headphones, nothing I did would produce any sound out of it. I did notice it didn’t have any cards in the back...but doesn’t it also have internal sounds? You can create sound without any cards in the back right?
Cop it now! Its still worth more than 200 usd. :)
Patch 15 (the guitar) is the one I remember hearing when I saw a JD800 in a music shop around 1991. It sounded incredible then, still sounds rather good.
Just got one of these years after watching your video. One of my favorite synths now after hours of going through it. Thanks for your great demo!
Thank you and congrats on the new board!
the crystal rhodes sounds almost identical to the electric piano heard in Mario 64. This is definitely the closest piano instrument that I heard that sounds like it. I love the resonating of the piano
Totally! th-cam.com/video/Zqa2mgjbOIM/w-d-xo.html
The Mario 64 e-piano is the Dyno Piano preset from the KORG 01/w .
It's possible that this synth is what was used, but that Crystal Rhodes sound was basically Roland's version of the DX7 Rhodes. Other manufacturers (like Korg) also had versions on their romplers. I think a version was also in Roland's Sound Canvas series (like the SC-88). The N64 ROM used compressed samples, I believe, so the music you heard (especially through a TV) would be less pristine than what came out of the synth.
It's like a pre-version of the same piano. The Dire Dire Docks piano comes from the JD-990
Wow still a very impressive synthesizer. That guitar sound omg.
One of the best synths ever,and specially the pad sounds and i have the JD-990(with vintage card,a must have).
I hope Roland make a kind of remake with lot of more possibilities,a hybrid/analog engine!
dirk keersmaekers - JD XA
I love what you are doing on this chanel! keep on!
I alsow love the 80s inkluding all the legendary synthies
The JD-800 is a beast of a synth!!! Heard many of the sounds used in many of the songs I've heard and still enjoy listening to, such as that fantastic Crystal Rhodes patch!!! Awesome demo!!!
Right on!
Most beautiful sounds i have ever heard in my life.
This has to be the coolest synth that Roland manufactured. Love this thing
This and the Jupiter 4 8 6
This and the Jupiter 8 and JP8000
@@madness8556 Yes indeed. How could I have forgotten about those legendary synths
But where would we be without the Juno!
I have the JD990, my next goal is to buy one of these beautiful instruments... It looks and sounds amazing...Thanks for your time demo'ing it.
Gorgeous. Always wanted one of these... and then the JP8000 too!
Some of the sounds are soo dreamy I nearly fell asleep then I dropped my ipad on my nose while lying flat on the bed you nearly fall asleep then a brass sound like mr brass wakes you up
Lol lol lol lol lol
Wailing guitar = Daft Punk's "Aerodynamic"
Prodigy - Voodoo People
I swear you that when I heard the drop, I thought literally the sound was a natural electric guitar.
and Charly Lownoise - speedcity :)
Stefano Feik Filio Saavedra - Lol. I'm guessing you mustn't play guitar, then ... ? X)
It's a cool sound, but nothing like a real one ...
could be, however it's stated by several sources they used korg trident for that. obviously through distortion pedal
i really missed this awesome synth. i used to learn and play this since early 90s. it nails every sounds effects i need. a great instrument... i missed this so much..
Love the JD800, i bought both of mine back in the 90s and still have them both, bought a second hand one purely for spare parts. Presets were always standard, however can be fab if programmed yourself.
Great sounding synth and of course some great strings and pads which Roland is famous for. I don't know of any other synth that can do pads and strings as well as Roland and I've owned them all! The only other synth that does strings/pads/brass as well as Roland I think is Oberheim--My OBxa, OB8, Expander..I have the rack version of the JD800 which is the JD990 w/JV80 Vintage Synth board installed and I don't remember it having the Rhodes sound heard at 1:12! That sounds fantastic-I love it!!!
Ladies and gentleman, please welcome the Pet Shop Boys! VERY / RELENTLESS, the best.
Hearing some "Face to Face, Heart to Heart" during the Pulse Pad. You always manage to fit that one in :)
What an again iconic synth (though all synths are iconic) very unique but fantastic! And also, funnily enough, you uploaded this on my 5th birthday 😂
I wonder how many people saw this the first time and thought it was a mixing console with all the sliders on it.
+Nicholas Seaks These people wouldn't be here at the first place. They're busy watching Biber videos.
+Nicholas Seaks
Ha! That happened to me once - I was at a Minimoog, keyboarding for a live band, and some people in the audience thought I was doing the sound ... coz of the knobs.
(They had some complaint about the volume.)
What I wouldn't give for an original model D
Nicholas Seaks My father own two.
mickey thompson Lol
Great video, I have the VST from Roland, and I can say it sounds just as good thanks to this.
did you buy it outright or do you buy the cloud option? Trying to figure out the best way to just get the jd800
@@LordLightheart I got the early bird sub where I can choose a free instrument every year. Think it's about $120 to buy it via the cloud outright.
@@Badgerator42 Thanks for the info
I love you riffing on the piano. Great tune, that! They must have used that synth because it's bang on!
WHAT A WWWWOOOOWWWW!!!!! THIS JD800 MAKES ME FEEL AS IF I'M A NEW PLANET!! THANKS TO ELECTRONICS!!!!!! GOD BLESS THE ORIGIN OF ROLAND!! SERIOUSLY SPEAKING.....
1:12 wow, that sound Awesome! Makes me want to buy one.
Yup, that was the sound that sold me on the JD-800. Bought mine new in 1996 and will never give it up. Get yourself a Jupiter-X and the JD-800 expansion pack. Sounds are very true to the original keyboard. Plus, the expansion pack has lots of additional sounds based on the JD-800 waveforms.
You can see Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys playing one of these in the video for DJ Culture.
82 Pulsation, my gosh. So much memories.
Thanks for share it!
the best feature of this synth is beautiful pad sounds, amazing e.guitar riff sounds and that design! just wow! i need to buy this synth soon.
so glad to have one of these, Found it for $800 in 1997...
my cutoff & reso sliders started jumping like 20 points1.2.3.4.5.25.26.27...

Same problem here. And one white key just quit registering.. :'(
I'll send it to one of those guys that restore it someday.
Found mine for $600 in 2018 ... with Strings cards!!!
I SATELLITE lucky 😊
Keyboard needed a lot of work due to the red glue issue. Found an old U-20 for cheap which uses the same keys and contacts. Now fixed!!!
15:20 smash bros mele piano
You’re almost correct but it’s actually a SC-8850 and JV-1080
Kevin Moore used this on Images and Words. I finally got a chance to get behind one in 2000 and it was still fire 🔥
Wow that guitar blew me away! And fantastic player too!!!!
I love "Iceman" "Invocation," and "Crystal Rhodes"

Wow… found this channel and got inspired to learn keys asa second instrument… this synth sounds amazing.
Sound like something Jan Hammer would do. By the way, DJ Sasha used this synth extensibly while recording the Airdrawndagger album.
+Luis Reyes Sánchez (TsunimokiTrance) you are right i love it

Anch'io l'ho sempre amata da quando e' uscita nel... '90, mi pare. Dovrebbero fare una macchina simile, con tanti sliders e la tecnologia di oggi. Venderebbe, secondo me...

D'accordo.
Io sto pensando di iniziare a suonare un synth... Sapresti consigliarmi e uno che abbia un suono di strings simile a quello di Como estais amigos degli Iron Maiden che si sente al secondo verso?
I really like how your playing matches the character of each sound. And that Dire Straits guitar is just boss😀👍
16 Fantasia 90's was my favorite! That sound was the most beautiful and most nostalgic sounding!
I like the one at 6:07 because it's like The Perfect Kiss by New Order!
wow! amazing synth! Eric Persing do sound design for this one. So, you can check Omnisphere for similar sounds and more )
andivax people keep asking "why is this older keyboard better than newer Rolands? Answer: Eric Persing
1:12 I love Crystal Rhodes so much... 🥲...One of the defining sounds of a certain 1990's videogame... ;)
This thing looks huge heavy and intimidating. If i had the space id look into getting one. Love the sound. So oberheim-y. The look on the guest keyboardist face when setting in my cockpit at the church i play for would be filmable. A grown up bit of kit for a grown up player. Thinks guy. Great demo. One of the best

17 - Killer Pad. Most accurate patch name EVAH. :)

😢🥺 It’s amazing!
Did the video suddenly desync for anyone else for ming dynasty and beyond?
Thé synthesizer of the 90's;it's stays a must for the ear when you hear his sounds again!
SEHR AUSFÜHRLICH;DANKE
Fantastic sounds...there is no VST (or really good samples ?) so very unique. One of favorites synth used by rick wakeman...
Roland Zenology has it, but they also made the whole keyboard into a VST for their Cloud service
Is it just me or the Crystal Rhodes patch sounds exactly like the piano from the "Dire, Dire Docks" level of Super Mario 64?
Btw, Millennium is a way too good sound to open a video with.
PS: Nice "Face To Face..." take 😉
If i find a MIDI, I might record that with the JD... would probably sound awesome!
Crystal Rhodes is the piano from Dire, Dire Docks from Super Mario 64.

I had 40 some keyboards in my rig doing commercial scores when that first came out. I bought one and liked the feel of it, but it didn’t sit well with many of the samplers and other analog synths. It demanded to be out front. I also wasn’t blown away by the stock sounds, but the amount of manipulation that was possible quickly was a game changer back then. The thing was as heavy as a Buick. 🎹
20:21 The polysynth here is made out of polysynth!
Was excited to get a new one of these in 1991. Then Nirvana hit. The end.

I actually love the LA Piano and the sweeping sounds that Hans Zimmer used for his 90s soundtracks, I can't remember the patch name but it's on the JD800. Is it the "Classic Sweeper" patch?
gorgeous sounds
