Members Bernard Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 This link will date but just now the tubes at the top are sounds of a demo at the show shot on camcorder, gives a flavour of the intelligent SN control of the sounds... still liking this thing: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=videos&search_query=roland+jupiter-80&search_sort=video_date_uploaded&suggested_categories=10%2C28&uni=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crazyfoo Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 Howard Jones Demoing the Jupiter 80 - sound superb to these ears . It sounds pretty nice to my old ears too.On the video, if you're facing Howard, the keyboard on his left, anyone have an idea what kind of stand that keyboard is sitting on? It looks like a Motif from the video, but I cant really tell. Looks cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ekeys Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 This may have been already mentioned, if so, I didn't see it. But a good video from sonicstate.http://www.sonicstate.com/news/2011/04/06/messe11-roland-jupiter-80-demo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JP80 is on the same type of stand, no idea what they are but they are nice. I really like the height it put them at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was posting my thread at the same time as I was watching the video, and of course as soon as I posted my question I heard him refer to it as a Fantom.It is a cool looking stand it is sitting on, I wouldn't mind getting something like that myself. That is a nice room he has as his studio, and yes I agree, how he has everything facing foward, kind of cool looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy demoing it looks like lying about his "enthusiasm" is literally painful in the first 30 seconds of that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ARP Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 IMHO Roland missed the boat on this, they could have at least put some sliders etc. on the damn thing. Even if they didn't go as far as the JD-800/JP-8000 it would have helped with the perception that it's somewhat akin to it's namesake. There is so much empty space on that synth I could fit my dinner plate up there. I had my hopes up that this would be something exciting. The multi-colored buttons notwithstanding it really appears to be a let down. It probably is a very capable instrument, but not the synth many were hoping Roland would deliver.

It will not surprise me if they one day bring out a knobby mega VA... They are probably working on it now... As for this thing the big difference is it seems to be touch and dial.. That is OK with me. You can see the edit touch it on the screen and dial in a value.. In some ways easier than a moog little phatty... The four big knobs are assignable so for performance I assume you can have filter etc although I noticed scott tibbs did everything on the big dial (they have yet to finish the software possibly why)... What they may have missed is use of those four sliders for other function. They have LEDs akin to the original Nord Lead 3 / Korg OASYS control. I hope those do more than part level, it seems that is all they are called but I spotted some screen shoots with a few of them so who knows...

Members The Audacity Works Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 IIRC, you can assign dozens of parameters to a knob at the same time, each with a specific range. Not positive tho'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
