    Roland JD-800Published on 12/09/06 at 05:32
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    5 octave keyboard, nice touch. The great innovation of the synth when it was released and re-propose controls for all parameters of sound. The polyphony of 24 voices is used differently in different patches, if they use two "tones" with notes of polyphony is 12 voices, three to eight "tones" by note, etc ...

    UTILIZATION

    Simple configuration, easy to use. Editing is very simple.

    SOUNDS

    I used this synth for a few years. I preferred to use my sampler at the time for low (a Roland too, same setup, same multimode filters, but with much higher DA converters, so that the sound was much better). Then I had the Microwave, and JD 800 was not allowed to play as syrupy as the gro…

    The design was beautiful, but its lack of dynamism.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I got two or three years, long ago. I had to buy the Microwave on at the time, because the JD 800 sounds flat (while the other ...). However, it was a pleasure to use, the knobs like the keyboard in particular were very very cozy feel, and LED were pretty orange color, was very nice!

    SOUNDS

    So in terms of synth sounds, well, nothing special! I have a lot of synths "80 years" and I must say the JD800 pales next to my D-50 or my M1, I'm not talking about factory sounds of synths mentioned above but the sounds created A to Z The JD800 may be just right for some ground but that's it, the D-50 for example, has an extraordinary sound power that JD does not. JUNO Even my 106 is better! At least for my style of music (electro / trance / progressive) the Roland JD800 not bring me anything.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I sold a very good price because it is premium. I do not really regret it because in addition to its faders that simplifi…
