My Roland JS-30 - Basic Sound Run Thru

Doing a quick run-through on my JS-30 and its sounds. a little frustrated that the pads are so sensitive, but its been in storage for 7 years so i'd expect its a little quirky. Plus, i'm a little spoiled after using the MPCs for so long. Im putting in some time on the JS-30 so i can get back in the zone with it as i was in 1999 and 2000.

@4:30 is there a full recording of this? sounds great

@man1in2a3box I have this track on vinyl somewhere. I filmed this vid in '08 and i've moved so much around during that time...i'll have to re-locate it. It is an Issac Hayes track, though. He's one of my musical godfathers so that's why his music featured a couple more times on this vid. Once i find that album, i'll do an addendum to the vid and add the name of the song.

I remember I bought one long time ago brand new, kept it for a week, turn it right back in, got a mpc 2000 and I've still got it . If I knew what I know now, I would have kept it, becuase the analog sound quality was nice. But back then everything sounded nice, even a crappy casio.

@smoovehandluke No doubt about that. I never really used all of its capacity...and probably never will since i spoiled myself with MPC and MASCHINE.

Is this the kind of sampler where I have to match a sample to a completely bar?? Can it record chopped up samples like a pro sampler?

[mrdeedz1]

@AGT415 Unfortunately, The js-30 cant chop samples like the mv-8000 by yamaha or the akai mpc. but if you have the time, patience and desire to get your track sounding just the way you'd like to...You can record your samples into the js-30, adjust their start and stop times, and then assign the sounds to their own pads. Tedious? no doubt..but if you're down for your sound...anything's possible. Yes, you'll have to match sample to a bar if you're not choppping it.

This should be the standard for youtube gear videos!!

candid, of the cuff.. little bit of ego.. and not a waste of my time.

Great Job! make more!
