Roland JD-800 + Roland D-550 (D-50 Rack)

[TrainmasterCurt]

Foreigner used the D-550 on their track from 1987 called "I Don't Want To Live Without You"

[SpacehotelMusic]

d-50 in this sounds very good. JD... bit cold.

[bestrickie2]

Nice track, good sound from Roland JD800 & other you're using. I've got Roland SH-201, E86, Yamaha PSR3000, PSR2700 (sampler), Roland Juno G & Micro korg XL. I play a lot of Gary Nmn, Kraftwerk & other on keyboard, sing & play old time classics for elderly groups, record bits of my own stuff but it's just a hobby though. I use Sonar recording. love to meet like minded people. From Rich

Wonderful. I love it. Great sequence. I have a JD800 too. A true classic. very thick, and powerful pads. A much sort after synth, sure to take off in price in the future. Artists like, Gary Numan, Mike oldfield, and J. M Jarre, ect have used these on stage in recent years. Says quite a lot. Thanks for sharing. LOL .

I've got a ROLAND XV-5080 in my studio. What's the name of the patch you are using here in this song? I would like to try it. Thanks!

Great sound, and I really like the song.

[retrosound72]

thank you :)

I use 3 different JD-800 patches and all sounds are variations of presets. I don`t know the names. Sorry.

[davekeys09]

Do you knowif there is a vsti for the jd 800 or the d 550 ??

[Microsloth]

Nice rhythms & pads.

[MacKarium]

Hi,

how have you done the sync between the Roland TR-707 and the MFB ? I just ordered the MFB and am not quiete sure how to get it in sync with other gear.

sd

[retrosound72]

TR707 Midi Clock Out --> MFB Midi In (external Clock)

[MrTonfunk]

yes, for sure. I just realized the option to start it with play pressed, to keep it in sync.

[sjw1dmwc]

Rhythm very good

Keep going this way !!!

I'm making this music olso

Sorry for my enghlish

[retrosound72]

I always loved the JD-800 sounds it reminds me of the sounds I hear on the Michael Jackson albums

[SpacehotelMusic]

The D50 was used on MJ's BAD album (not sure if he used the JD-800 on later ones). Most of BAD is made up from D50 stock/factory card sounds. D50 = THE best digital synth ever.

[SpacehotelMusic]

that was in reply to moog167's jacko comment :)

[VisceralVoids]

@SpacehotelMusic

All the sounds on the "Bad" album were custom D50 sounds programmed from scratch

[HappyProducer]

@VisceralVoids no they weren't. I can hear many stock patches (inc digital native dance at the start of one of the tracks).

[HappyProducer]

@HappyProducer that includes the patches from the official roland library set (another 4 cards) which MJ/Studio got with the synth hot off the production line. So maybe not all sounds were on a 'stock' D-50 but were in the library somewhere. Of course there could also be many custom sounds too but you can hear those stock sounds too on BAD if you listen.

[4darin5]

I checked out your myspace. I was even more blown away by the music on there, so awesome.

....Please tell me when your music is available to buy!!!!!!!!!

[retrosound72]

thank you :)

I will send a message to you when my album is available.

[Warren1814]

great music man!!!

[retrosound72]

thx a lot :)

[hartig1967]

JD-800 !! sehr cool !

digital hin oder her... die pads / flächensounds aus dem JD-800 sind einfach genial.

ich habe meinen 800er geliebt !

[retrosound72]

Auf jeden Fall!

Der JD-800 ist einer der am besten klingenden Synths überhaupt. Der Teppichleger schlechthin...

[GIOKMAN]

any italodisco samples posted ?

[drajabian]

which synth is the bass line and which is the pad?

[retrosound72]

bassline: Roland D-550

pad: Roland JD-800

[MixMasterMediaTwente]

Great music, great quality, this only could have been made with the best synthesizer!!!

[retrosound72]

thank you :)

[ChaoticPhill]

sounds from another dimension. very good

[tngregory]

nothing says pet shop boys like a roland pad sound. delicious!

[eirfdoof]

Cool tune. Sounds like a soundtrack for a B rated straight to video soundtrack.

[TrendyMessiah]

Nice sound and tune.

JD 800 is a synth with endless possibility's. But you got to be a experienced synth dude to get the full potential out of it.

[ANDRES77]

I have one, but I have not learned to use it as well, it has a lot of god things,..and there is something wrong with it because suddenly the pitch changes a little and the display goes crazy...but it happens only sometimes, do you guys know where they can fix it?

[makipri]

The pitch problem could be caused by dusty sliders. Keep an eye on the display parameters the next time it happens. In case the parameter to be edited changed at the same time, it should be clear.

[mjames4208]

one of my biggest regrets was selling my JD800!

[wolfman344]

the best synthesizer keyboard,i was have one but i sold hem,so if anyone can tell me how much price this keyboard now??

[retrosound72]

450-600 EURO
