the digital virtual analog Roland JP-8000,... a monster of a synth with enough low end subby goodness to make you forget that its not analog :P

also dropping on ebay this sunday afternoon in the US,  sunday night in the EU.

The Roland JP8000 - made in 1996 but travelling back to 1980s courtesy of analogue modelling. Analogue purists will probably look the other way, however synth lovers that want great analogue sounds with the ability to tweak away using features found on many of Roland classic synths (Juno 106, SH101 etc) will love this 49 key blue metallic plastic box of fun.

  It’s a great keyboard for live sessions and studio sessions. Live musicians can easily find their desired sounds by tweaking away at the vast array of oscillators, filters and effects – as was the case with all of Roland classic Juno and SH range. The only time you need to access the LCD backlight screen menu is when you want to select one of the 128 preset patches, or one of your own programmed sounds (up to 128). There are a range of bass, lead and “atmospheric” sounds. The leads sound sharp and bass sounds range between deep down, dirty and squelchy. In addition, there is also Midi In and Out, but strangely enough no Midi Thru

  There are 2 main oscillators, each offering a range of waveforms (e.g saw, square, triangle etc). There is also a 4 stage ADSR. However my favourite effect is the chorus as it reminds me of the Juno 106 chorus sound. The JP also has an arp and it is easy to set up and use, but the only negative point is that there is no “tap” feature for you to sync up to beats.

Overall it is a great synth doing what it says on the tin “analogue modelling”. The JP8000 could be put in the same league as other analogue modelling synths such as Korg’s MS2000, Radias and R3. However, the JP8000 will not steal the Juno and the SH god-like legendary name status, but it will allow mere mortals to experience these sounds at an affordable price.

the Roland JP-8000 virtual analog synthesizer.

coming soon to an ebay near you :)

wubwub!

Sonics: positive points - synthesis on the CS10 is really straightforward and within about 10 minutes of playing it I had bass leads in the same league as the SH101. The low and high band VCFs sound really great and allow you to cut and drop the bass whenever you want. The external input also allows you to add the Yamaha CS10 sound to ANY of your favourite synths, samples etc. This is probably the winning feature for me

Sonics: negative points - the leads are a bit thin sounding for me and also the lack of an arp/sequencer may cause some players to look elsewhere (i.e the SH101). 

Overall it is a great synth for the beginner and pro as everyone will find a different need for it. We will be selling this Yamaha in June via eBay. Interested buyers are welcome to contact us directly too.

This weekend was spent cleaning and looking after this little beauty. All the PCBs are in good to excellent condition and there is no serious corrosion on the contacts. We spent time taking the dust out and cleaning the boards with rubbing alcohol. The CS10 is known for staying in tune (unlike the CS30) and this one has no problem with detuning. There are no major problems to report. There are however some slight scratches on the front of the machine, but we will be taking photos of these before we sell it in June.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Yamaha CS10. A very cool but underrated analogue synth. Built in 1978, before the age of the New Romantics, this synth had Gary Numan written all over it. We will be selling this bundle of joy in June via eBay or contact us directly.

tumblr giveaway tba

thanks to everyone that replied to the last post!

thanks to you guys we've decided that instead of an auction, a giveaway might be more fun,...

yes, we suck as capitalists.

it'll probably be a korg poly 800 mkI.

when we've figured out the details we'll announce it proper, probably this weekend as we need time to get our thumbs out of our asses.

cheers.

tumblr auction?

the big auction site is pissing me off,  so,....

if we were to auction off a synth here on tumblr, would anyone be interested?

maybe something like a Korg Poly mkII?

or a yamaha cs-10?

or should we just go mental and do a roland sh-101?

if you'd like to see us do something as commercially suicidal as this let us know by liking or reblogging this and we'll get our asses in gear.

shipping would be from japan, which is a bit far, but we get some really nice condition synths here and we might be willing to take a hit to get this up and running.

cheers.
