Members zzzxtreme Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 supernatural piano - kronos SGX1supernatural EP - kronos EP engine3osc VA up to 9 (i think) layers- kronos 16 layersand the sounds seems to combine AP-behavioural wavestation-like synthesis. Well, it is a roland thing. may be boring, but not necessarily bad thing.but no VP770 engine ? I guess geared towards performers. say kitaro needs a synth that does some acoustic simulations well, it will fit the bill. heh what do i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tagutcow Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 Seriously, people are being way too harsh on this thing without even having heard it. I mean, the Kronos is basically modelling + ROMpler too, only even more heavily weighted towards ROMpler. I'm not a big fan of the GAIA/SH201 sound myself, but I don't think the VA crowd is the target market for this board, namesake notwithstanding.

Members goldphinga Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 I think people are being way too harsh too on this board and on this board. Lets hear it in person and get a feel for it. Stop getting hung up on the Jupe 8..it was a great synth yep, but lets move on. So what if its a called a jupe 80, big deal..cant take anything away from the original. Its JUST a name.

Members johnmoorejohn Posted April 6, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 So is the supersaw from JP8000? Super saw matters From watching the video, I don't hear anything that would suggest that. In fact all I heard was 'pcm' samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnmoorejohn Posted April 6, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 It has super saw detune Where do you see this? Remember, you can detune a sample of a supersaw... with respect to the other payers of osc. That is very different from controlling the spread of the 7 saws as you could with a JP8000 or SH201.

Members tagpass Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 Howard Jones Demoing the Jupiter 80 - sound superb to these ears . Yup, I was prepared to be completely underwhelmed by this synth... UNTIL I heard it in this context and read the write up on CDM. Very interesting! Of course, I'm a *huge* Howard Jones fan -- New Song was my "introduction" to the world of synth music, and his work has influenced much of mine since then... so I give props to Roland for having him involved in this project.

Members McHale Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 Not just ANY rompler. A 3000EU rompler with buttons like rainbows. This comment made my day. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rosebud Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 Howard Jones Demoing the Jupiter 80 - sound superb to these ears . This sounds very impressive to me. I like the idea of it being a "performance" board rather than the workstation focus of the Korg Kronos. Would suit my needs better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NuSkoolTone Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 Howard Jones Demoing the Jupiter 80 - sound superb to these ears . Thanks I was looking for that. I'm really surprised how bad Roland's videos are for a major launch like this. One is just a hype marketing video which basically just shows you what it looks like. Their 2nd video just shows Howard Jones basically saying "Yeah, it's cool and inspiring" and then he plays ONE (Though cool) patch for about 30 seconds to a minute. LAME! The sounds in the Sonic State video are impressive indeed. The pads especially. Interested to hear more demos. Still not sold on the interface/control surface, but oh well. I was set to buy a Kronos, though I want to hear more before moving forward with that. The Kronos may be more suited to my needs though. The Jupiter might be more suited as a "2nd" synth down the road... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are criticizing the hype. In general, everything has just become one giant screaming contest as every tries to be heard over everyone else. I think tough Roland has a reputation of being a bit douchey with the hype. just the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
