Just sold mine last Month for € 750,00, which was not a good price to sell but was a good price to buy :( Bollocks!! Paulo without a V? I am stunned! Shocked and chagrined! Mortified and stupefied! Oh well, you have left behind a legacy of the Paulo sound for the V's on the Repository, not to menti...

Please stop flaunting your 4 990s! Some of us have to make do with 2! (And an 800) And, for the record, it is 4 JD990's all loaded with SR-JV80-04 expansions...Vintage Synth's for days! Besides, that JD-800 looks much more menacing than a couple of black boxes! :-D And I am hugely disappointed that...

I wonder should this thread be renamed "JP80 - I used to be hugely disappointed in it" :-) No, no, no! Just wouldn't have the same impact, and wouldn't have been half the fun! Besides, how many years did it take before you actually started playing it in earnest and were just "mildly&...

Did the OASYS have this kind of failure rate & user issues? I bought my OASYS 76 in 2007 and the only thing I can say as far as any troubling issue(s) I've had is with the rubber fader knobs which developed a sticky feel to them after about a year to a year and a half. All in all, a small probl...

Stone the bleedin' crows! Here is all of this new fab gear coming out and I am constantly on the road missing it all!

Oh well, at least you and all of the gear junkies can have a blast. Have fun! Can't wait to hear all of the noise!

Wishing everybody here a most joyous Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year!

Well I obviously stated the "Tone/Osc" thing in the wrong way. The GT can simultaneously play both an Upper and a Lower "tone" with 28 voices of polyphony whereas the XT can play 1 "tone" with 24 voices of polyphony. Roland stated that the GT was like having "two V...

The GT does not have the D-50, but it does have a built in vocal designer. It also has two V-Synth engines (i.e., two tones with 4 Osc's versus 1 tone with 2 osc's on the XT) and some extra EFX. The twin D-beams and the easily more accessible Time Trip pad also make the GT better for live manipulati...

It is always my pleasure to share. I think that makes like 150 or so V-Synth patches so far. I am taking a break from the Soundworld for a while, but I'm sure that once I get the bug some more enigmatic SWAD patches will be in store. I had fun putting "Get a Job Son" and "Pemberton&qu...

Bloody good show, what!? A very comprehensive review with pro's and cons the way that KEYBOARD magazine used to do it in the old days. I'm glad that PFB mentioned "bang for the buck" as we sometimes expect caviar and champagne on a value meal budget and lose sight of the big picture. That ...

The Integra-7 basically has an XV-5080 sound engine, which means you get all of the JV series waves PLUS 100+ JD-990 waveforms. In addition, it can play waveforms in stereo like an XV-5080. It makes an excellent companion to the Jupiter-80 because you then have the ability to mix and match so many P...

Thank you very much RB1. Such kind comments are always appreciated. While I did indeed have fun creating some of those movement pads on the JP80 (it seems like so long ago!), I found programming on it to be much more of a challenge since it is so very deep and I don't have an intuitive grasp of the ...

Greetings Iceman, I have used the Roland 1G CF card in my XT and had no problems. I can't remember what I paid when I bought it but I notice it is a bit pricey these days at $23.95. There were cards from SanDisk and other manufacturers all the way from 512MB and up on Amazon, so it looks like the sm...

I know...the thread is as old as the hills and has been used and abused, hashed, re-hashed, rubbed, dubbed, pipped, popped and cajoled in as many ways as there are ways to be such, but the title just caused such an uproar and got so many fired up. Since it had been a while and had been relegated to ...

I was self taught on guitar and played for many years before getting the electronic music bug. I could not play piano when bought my first Casio 49 key synth back in 1992 and still can't play piano here 22 years later. I always entertained the idea of taking lessons and doing a lot of practice but j...
