All user reviews for the Roland JX-305

This is a digital synthesizer. There are a number of really impressive and patch settings.
It has an arpeggiator with more than twenty possible settings.
The feel is really nice.

UTILIZATION

The grip is not easy. Even now with the manual and I have trouble understanding some of the advanced settings.
That said, once mastered the sequencer, it is damn effective: it can store up to 7 keyboard tracks in parallel AND 7 rhythmic tracks.

SOUNDS

We will not hide the fact that there are many unnecessary patches that great.
If you want, I made a word file to list interesting patches.

For rhythm patches, there are really strange sounds, drum kits but are for the most part well.

I love the patches of choirs and organ.

The only downside in my opinion are patches accostique piano that sound pretty dull.

OVERALL OPINION

To make tablecloths, learn to play the piano I recommend it. Being a fan of old synths I am absolutely satisfied.

If you want to get an idea of ​​its sound, I invite you to go to my soundcloud:

Bad honntes a priori

UTILIZATION

Fischerprice style keyboard, Bontempi
Gnrale print: it's low-end (knobs, keyboard, General for manufacturing quality ...)

SOUNDS

Pathtiques sound: a sound card worth the public in 1994 (Guillemot style / Sound Blaster).
Average quality audio trs (bass and treble register of non-existent).
Frankly, I do not know why the groovebox with this keyboard is the result (the MC-505), sold ...
No doubt it impressed the DJ who think that artists are pressing random keys (style OD / C # / MI ... and FA / low SOL)
To say that I had bought APRS reading an article in the press Specializes like what it is important not to rely on them. For them, virtual synths get a majority of 18/20!

OVERALL OPINION

For large nullos only kind of DJ Cucuron box, the other will go their way.

See data sheet

UTILIZATION

I speak for beginners ....
basic operation is very simple ... I made a pattern of 8 shares in the hour after my purchase ...
For a beginners, this synth will allow you to hear sounds married DIFFERENT sets, a mini cr (8parts/pistes) arrangement ...

SOUNDS

One of two things

you there or you know you are looking for sounds that dchirent in c'cas on your way ...

or you just want a synth to learn the composition, arrangement, draft copies of music (even the later work with other sounds), has the will ... the sounds are not terrible overall, but you can make that sound patterns that groovy, just a. ..

OVERALL OPINION

has been 2 years since I use it,

c'que love most: the mute button for the shares ... the ease of use, especially the possibility to make the easy zik ...

c'que like least: the sound quality really "beginners", the number of tracks / parts ...*

résumé for this synth is exellent for beginners or to make "draft" of his zik ...
but for a composer xigeant, you have to go his way, the sounds are not really fall down ....

I insist that for beginners, this synth is exellent to learn ...

The sounds are interesting and modulation through the various potentiometers.

well as the fact of power transfer and edit the individual instruments

UTILIZATION

Yes very simple and clear it very quickly tease

SOUNDS

Especially the very poor acoustic piano guitar ... no comment
you please tell me that ca cest not that it is made.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 2 years
lowest acoustic
as simplicity and the 505 mc
I think that a 300 euro remains OCCAZ honest
J will go on a personal Xpander east acoustic because I re orient towards the jazz and classical.

Synth keyboard 5 octaves.
It has everything you need regarding the Controller.
Idem.
About 650 sounds, they are in real time thanks ditables DIFFERENT potentiomtres to the synth.
Editable through publishers noon, and those of MC505 SPECIFICATIONS.
64-voice polyphony.

UTILIZATION

Configuration gnrale hyper simple, intuitive trs.
The edition of effects and sounds is comfortable trs.
I do not have the manual, and have not needed, I had before him the MC-303 is the same architecture.

SOUNDS

They are suitable for this area of ​​distinguishing strengths of its weaknesses:

Strengths:
Bass (excellent), the drum kits, strings in the dual mode (a condition to choose one which is dominant acute and the other whose dominance is serious), the accordion, the brass and pads.

Weaknesses:

One would expect better for strings in single player ... especially coming from a Roland synth, they are of good quality but not enough coat. The choirs left DSIR, brown below the SY77, which was released 8 years ... tt ditto for the piano sounds. Why is not there be any strings juno?

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month.
The pros: Its ease of use, arpgiateur of madness, his intuitive squenceur trs is a workstation, its bass and drum kit, keyboard super matre.

the -: Some sounds, piano not up to what one might expect (perhaps be looking patches on the internet ... I happened on the Korg X5 to find a great piano internet while its presets taient not terrible in this area ...). It is advisable to complter its shortcomings by an expander that peak.

I have a Juno 60, Juno 1, a TG55, SY77 one, an 05R / W, a U220, it takes its place in this set. I had the juno 6, DX21, D10 and the MC-303. The JX 305 is significantly suprieur the MC303.

Trs quality good value for money, but knowing that the Juno D is 560 euros new, it agrees to purchase the jx-305 below 350 euros.

I Rasht this synth without problem. T yet had cooled by the previous ones opinion. So I tried as a store, intrigued by the observations of previous ones testing, and thinking that Roland had taken out a turnip. And surprise, I liked it and I'm not prt of resale.

Well I think there is enough notice for ca

more the better to read a http://www.roland.co.uk/reviews/rvjx3a.pdf

UTILIZATION

Uh .... good touch I find it very well or else I am frankly too lazy to lean on but not look too complicated just to get started

doc is well on the Chinese ..

SOUNDS

Then the sounds

I made it clear to him that I was taping a m'aprette rack .... I love the keyboard so I use it as vai master keyboard that's all.

acoustic effects are a disaster and even if it was not for the sounds of groovebox are tip top!

well it says I'm wrong because I'm calling the metal so the sounds are not me appropribr />
for his defense there is still the sound that I like hammond organ

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year but as I disai it is not suitable for my style of music
I needed rather pure acoustic sounds and works on their reallisme
So there I vai a pair expander and I use his very good to the touch keyboard attractive.

Retailer above ...
trs INTERESTED functions if only one read the manual, although the intuitive c but it does not get all the power of the machine so I advise anyone to enter the Bible came with, not when it hurts the head.

UTILIZATION

- By doing what I wanted to play on a real silent e me free synth keyboard master branch, but on pc constantly keep potentiometers to work on his line. This keyboard offers a compromise of both, with synth master keyboard in pots so it can control your software.
- I find the edition "basic" easy thanks to the facade in pots of course, but reading the manual can manage the things (I would say even more) finesse.
- The manual is complete but the technical KnowledgeBase fctionnemt help of a synth.

SOUNDS

- I was looking for his dirty, crying whistles and squeaks to the Indus. Before reading the manual I was afraid pcque sounds basic technology is there ... GrooveSynth prcs on bte. Ensite I could edit the sound I wanted with resonant filters, ... four waveforms work in parallel, so it works as well and it is not limited to techno.
- The effects, c a first synth so I'm glad forcmnt.
- Touch is bin but I would say there is a lack of clear rponse, c all or nothing, which is difficult to dose.

OVERALL OPINION

- I recently
The +: The settings for pots
the -: small screen has a lot of manipulation to get to the functions, but the manul big need to explain how it works

The characteristics ... we made the turn.

UTILIZATION

This is not really what I wanted, editing is too "heavy" for me, then exit the synths in the immediate future. Séquenseur to the galley and was a bit remains limited.
Even that requires some notion in his summary to rework the patches.
Some reading it will, but here I am not able to give an objective opinion. But it 's done it.

SOUNDS

There are beautiful tablecloths, despite its technical orientation, there are beautiful sounds, but the presets are often reworked or modified with the knobs (that 's the bomb on the pink floyd).
Still lack an output level a little higher.
In conclusion to the sound, have to retype the majority of the presets (which are plastoc) and then there are the presets that kills, but too few, the heat is sometimes audible defects. Despite the previous opinion, I 've found myself.

OVERALL OPINION

Three months of use low intensity, that is my first synth, I sought him for my companion virtual guitar (pink floyd ...), that is the sequencer which does not please me, ch 'ui allergic! So , I often used to make songs "space" or "crazy" basically I 'm good with bursts.
When the price (used) is worth the trip, so yes I do it again this choice.

Derived from the keyboard groove box
5 octave keyboard, controllers adsr cutoff + resonance depth arpeggiator with realtime editing
1 output stereo audio + midi in / out / thru
many sounds that are very similar!
all styles rather oriented techno / dance
the use of trigger patterns in real time makes it ideal for live synthesizer
classical effects editable increments rather rude ...

UTILIZATION

The screen is fairly small, access is via numerous buttons, read the manual to learn how to get good grip.

SOUNDS

The overall volume is pretty low, it has to be turned up completely, for it to sound good. Some buttons are almost inaudible,

General lack of fishery and dynamic

Sounds very similar, the difference could have been edited even

I always end up using the same

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year

I like Cerain sound and real-time effects, Arpeggiator ...
I bought it because he was cheap and sounds that changed my old Korg T3

but the lack of fishing and some interesting sounds almost make me regret the purchase.
