Re: New patches for Roland JX-8P !
So, it has come to my attention that this "Espen Kraft" guy is taking credit for at least one of the patches I released here back in 2009. In his video description he calls them his own custom voices. But the main patch used throughout his comparison ("1984 Again") matches both in name and sound tha...

Re: Just wanted to say hi!
Hi guys, nice to see your names again. It would be cool if VSE became more lively again, like it was. I mean there have been so many developments and new stuff on the market to discuss.

Re: Roger Powell's "Texture" and "Prism" sequencers...
Sorry, no links, and I'm still looking for Prism. I know I have it somewhere ....... I've found an old version of Prism and a friend sent over a demo version. But both of them are from the 5.25" version, I need the version which has the full install for the Yamaha C1 Music Computer. I can run it, b...

Re: Mixing Headphones
I can only say that the audio technica ath-m50x have been a godsend for me after years of trying to mix on cheap headsets or speakers. They are really clear, seems neutral enough to reveal a lot of my weaknesses. Not too bad price wise either, so recommended. Once upon a time I borrowed a pair of AK...

Featuring mostly the Roland D-50 and some Yamaha DX21 (Solid Bass and bells). Drums are from an Amiga. Emvoice "Lucy" is my new friend, "s...

Re: Behringer's clone army
When I signed up here in 2006, and for many years before and after, there were continuous outcries for Roland and the other famous companies to remake their old instruments, with cheap prices. Thread after thread complaining about the prices of vintage gear, and wishing for a company to do exactly w...

Excellent, appreciate all your great work! 8-) Don't care a second about those stuffy geezers. You do great service to the community that appreciates these things, it is after all much better to help each other and sharing than sitting on separate hills throwing rocks. These are what, 35 year old so...

Re: which is the best roland JX to get?
The JX-8p has a great, warm sound, and is enhanced by the onboard chorus. I had one for some years and it is not *that big in size.. Certainly not huge. A bit deeper than the D-50 I had, but not much of an issue. And from what I remember it is quite packed with electronics inside, and heavy. My main...

Re: QasarBeach - recreation of the CMI Fairlight IIx. [Win, Mac and Linux]
This came as a complete surprise, and I tested it last week. 10 years ago I wished for something like this, instead of the poor ipad app from Vogel. QuasarBeach is a very convincing piece of work, and hats off to the developer. However, it was quite buggy in my testing. And sadly, the timing in Page...

Re: Roland D50 Plugin Goodies
Thanks desmond, for converting all those!
It was so nice getting to play with my old bank in the plugin. I think Roland did a great job here, the sound is correct, the GUI is nice. Just too bad they went with the subscribtion thing.

It's strange because the theme is almost MORE powerful without the guitar. That buildup.. Great stuff.

Re: Harold Faltermeyer (80's, Beverly Hills cop, Fletch etc.
Thanks D-collector :) Yes the remakes were released, but afaik only as a digital download. The new la la land releases are indeed the original film scores, ie the complete instrumental scores including the most notable songs. I have both CD's and they couldn't sound any better. Loving them! Afaik t...

Re: Harold Faltermeyer (80's, Beverly Hills cop, Fletch etc.
From what I understand he did the blip-bloppy "water drops" (or "footsteps") on the Roland system 100m. You can see him working on that sound in this video clip https://youtu.be/PkQUzbeguUM?t=5140 (note the system 700 to the left). In the same clip he's seen programming the lead line on the Jup-8 h...
