ANALOG KEYBOARD SUGGESTIONS

[MOESES SOULRIGHT THE 2nd]

i'm thinkin of goin with the Roland JP8000...

pretty cheap and i really like the fat bass and leads on it...
any suggestions?

 

[Jonny-T]

fuck yeah hella people sleep on them roland sounds. i know a few people with JP8G's and i never heard one complaint...

 

[phil]

that shit is so dope. i wish i had a g to blow on one.

if you already have a midi controller,synth or workstation bypass the jp8000 and get the jp8080. they ARE different and you can do more with the 8080 (like run an instrument through it along with some other nick nacks).

for that price (1100-1300 new or 650-650 used) its great.

have you checked out the nord

the AUGUST issue of ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN has a full blow out on 10 analog modeling synths (keep in mind that these synths are not REAL analog. the only CURRENT analog synth that i know of is the ANDROMEDA).

TOO $HORT USES A JP-8080 ON A LOT OF HIS MATERIAL.



:h:

Or the Access Virus C, it has 32 voices

The JP8000 is tight hands down. Roland's sounds ain't no joke man, especially if you are looking for basses and leads! I have and have made leads on a JV90 years ago that people still trip off of today (and still want to sample). I lot of the sounds that you hear in that old bay area mobb shit from the early 90's are off Roland gear. Sound-wise you can't go wrong with anything in the JV/XP/XV/JP line.

I haven't used a virus but I've heard only good things about them. Everyone is wetting their pants over the MS2000 right now too.

^^^^
I agree

Roland do got the best bass and leads sounds. I got that Roland XV-5080, you get a wide variety of bass leads to choose from. This module slept on like a mothafucka. You can load XV and JV patches. Its tight shit

yeah i already have an XP-60...
i think the bass's and leads lack on it

but the JP is tight for them

 

[BIG J]

Yeah I have the MS2000R, that has a very nice sound to it

 

[I FearMrDrawmuh]

i don't know about anything else but the ms2000r has a nice vocoder - if you don't know anything about analog synthesis don't waste your money tho.

Nothing beats a moog.

YOUNG MOE DO YOU HAVE ANY CARDS FOR THE XP60. I HAVE THE VINTAGE SYNTH CARD AND IT SOUNDS COOL. NOT TO MENTION THAT YOU CAN DO A LOT OF LAYERING AND TWEEKING.

:h:

PS ITS ALL IN THE LAYERS

 

[MOESES SOULRIGHT THE 2nd]

i have the Session Card...Hip Hop Card...and Techno Card(actually has some tight ass sounds)
dog...heresy...
someone stole my manual HELLA LONG AGO...before i really got into using my XP-60...and i don't even know how to layer on the damn thing...

can you let me know?
(and yes i know that's pathetic lol)

 

[I FearMrDrawmuh]

heresy tell us more about layering
