Roland JD-08 Boutique Synthesizer

A fantastic little powerhouse of a synth. I missed out on the D50 remake, so this is the next step up. Don't let the small faders put you off, as the last one you touched is transfered to the 4 big pallete faders. Sounds just like a JD800 but smaller, excellent 4 layer pad machine with some sounds you will recognise from the 90s, that lead guitar sound is woah! D50 esque samples on board create that breathy bell type character if you want it. Programming is relatively easy I found using the led nemeric screen easy, as the abbreviated functions are written in a thoughtful way so as to understand them quickly. Also responds to aftertouch which opens up another side to designing sounds. Love it! Bax music delivered as promised, no hassles, kept me informed on delivery and updated accordingly. Only quibble was the JD08 box was just floating around in another box, no packing between them, this split the corner of the outer packing. Some bubble wrap would avoid this, luckily no damage to the goods inside.

enigsinds stroef om de kop te draainen maar als deze eenmaal gedraait super handig om ruimte te besparen op je pedal board

Hoewel de schuiven op de Roland JP-08 absoluut kort zijn, is het goed mogelijk om heel precieze waarden te selecteren. Het goed leesbare beeldscherm met drie cijfers en de links boven geplaatste langere schuiven (= Palette) helpen daarbij. Er is duidelijk goed nagedacht over de bediening. Een part selecteren is eenvoudig (Note + Tone A / Note + Tone B). De basisfuncties, zoals het opslaan of selecteren van een patch of sequence zijn eenvoudig. Meer complexe functies vragen soms wat meer van je inbeeldingsvermogen. Maar wie zoekt, zal op internet ook editors vinden voor deze synthesizer. Ik vind de klank gevarieerd en warm. En het is leuk om zelf eigen geluiden te ontwerpen.

RockBoard FlaX Plug MIDI Cable with Adjustable Plugs, 60cm

Bien pratique ce câble midi avec fiche rotative notamment pour un gain de place sur pedalboard. Le câble midi fait parfaitement son boulot, j'en ai déjà plusieurs et ils semblent tenir dans le temps. Donc à mon avis un très bon rapport qualité/prix.

Pour ce qui est de la fonction connexion électrique, tout va bien.
Cependant, attention à la dénomination : il n'y a que l'étrier de fixation du câble qui pivote, et pas la fiche en tant que telle.
Généralement, les pin sont horizontales (vers le haut ou le bas) ; il sera donc possible d’orienter le câble vers le haut ou le bas, mais pas en biais

I purchased the JD-08 synthesizer and I am positive about its sonic capabilities. It is however a quite complex synth with many layers running in parallel so can be a bit of getting used to dealing with the layers at the same time. Also, It is definitely a very digital synth, but no shade, that can be cool also and is well worth the money. The range of sounds and effects that can be achieved with this synth is impressive. The effects are so so but do the trick. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality digital synth at an affordable price.

Roland JD-08 Boutique Synthesizer

Ayant déja été agréablement surpris par les performances d'autres modules "boutique" je me suis donc penché sur le JD 08, et je n'ai pas été déçu: un concentré de possibilités sonores, avec un visuel inspirant et une interface intuitive riche en commandes directes. Possédant l'original (JD 800), je retrouve bien les caractéristiques sonores qui me sont familières et ceci dans un format cette fois-ci compact et autonome (alimentation par port usb ou piles). 128 voix de polyphonie (pour un "tone") quand il y en avait 24 sur l'original! Et le son est envoyé en numérique sur le port USB! Le séquenceur de mouvement et l'arpégiateur ajoutent des possibilités de modulation aux deux LFO, ce qui permet de dépasser sur ce point le JD 800.

Zo lang gezocht naar de analoge versie maar de prijs is me gewoon te duur. Eindelijk heeft Roland voor de liefhebbers deze schitterende 808 drumcomputer opnieuw uitgebracht maar in een kleinere vorm. Ik vind dit echt zo goed gedaan en blij dat ik deze in mijn studio heb toegevoegd heel erg blij mee!

Endelijk na jaren hebt ik mijn mini 808 feestelijk onthaald met drank en dames, ik moet wel zeggen dat het echt mini is, maar de sound ochhh (natte onderbroek), het is simpel te programeren het werkt volgens mij op batterijen dus koop die ergens bij een supermarkt, en ohja ook handig te bestellen een mini jack to jack kabeltje.

Tot mijn verbazing heeft deze TR-08 ook een ingebouwde speakertje
kortom top ding!
