I was just saying the conspicuous absence of any mention of ACB in the JU and JX parts was interesting, considering they seem so proud of it. Catalog information is not written by the manufacturer, but by the seller. Isn't it more usually copy/pasted from the (embargoed) press release / info passed...

I've already told you what I can make out - it says "YAMAHA ?X?" which means it's (most likely) either a DX7 or a KX88. It looks more likely to be the KX88 as I think there are two digits after the "X". I can't tell more than that from the video quality and the shots presented. (Note, this is the gu...

The video is poor and there are no clear shots.

Based on the profile/shape/size, and the blurry logos on the back, I'd say either a DX7 or KX88...

Roland's teaser campaign manager must be rather annoyed at the moment...

Do we know for sure they are all ACB? Only the JP-08 explicitly states ACB modelling, and the JP-08 is more expensive than the other two. I would expect them to be all digital, but it seems strange that only the JP-08 blurb mentions Roland's awesome ACB modelling... And presumably, dual/layer mode -...

This guy had it about right in April... if we're to believe him, they're analog modeling. If it's an evolution of the Aira tech, and they're modelling the old Roland polys in the same detail as the SH;s they've been doing, I'm all for it. Particularly if there are plugin versions of these as well.....

It's possible. The entire Sub37 synth board is about 5"x6". It could easily be stacked. The Sub37 is two voices, and is paraphonic so only one filter, one set of EG's etc... so that's significantly less circuitry... Yes, the EGs could be digital all one one chip, but even so - is there any real ana...

Probably full analog. This is how Roland has always viewed this stuff. "Boutique" or something that only appeals to a small and specialized demographic. 6 pure analog voices (including 12 oscillators, 12 EGs, 6 filters) in something that small? Even the large JD-Xa manages only four analog voices (...

Elsewher on teh interwebz, people are saying it's a reaction to Reface but that's impossible because Reface was started two years ago and only arrived this summer. So Roland would have had this in the pipe for a while. Seems like both companies are aiming at Korg's success in the low end market. In...

Looks like Roland are pulling a "Reface" with these products...

How many more times can they trot out the "Jupiter-8" legacy and use it to introduce a lame-ass product... grr..

i find wavestation software to be the worst though. really slow to edit, seeing everything doesn't help. no shortcuts, pretty sure numeric entry isn't there. underwhelmed with sound for time put in. i hope the hardware had some tricks... I loved editing on the Wavestation, and found it far more pra...

While perhaps not the worst interface, but the CZ-101 interface was pretty bad. Not really - it had mostly dedicated buttons per parameter set and was thus fairly straightforward to get around. The only less than great bit was the envelopes - lots of paging, and setting values by up/down arrows, wi...

I don't recognise it, there was nothing like that in the factory banks from Korg (including all the SR banks) (from memory) and I've got just about every Wavestation patch ever made. Not saying it isn't but I don't recognise it - if I get time I'll take a trawl through my library and see if I get an...

They are typically sold in different markets, and/or countries, and tweaked to appeal more that the intended market.

My old DX7S did transmit up to 127, but you had to hit fairly hard to get it up there irc.

If you use something like Logic, it's trivially easy to adjust, compress, expand, scale and offset incoming velocities in the MIDI thru parameters (or less trivially in the environment).
