New Roland Jupiter Legacy Collection

I prove this synth legend collection 2 hours this morning,and 3 good news:

1-this collection is awesome,superb job from roland team and scott tibbs.
For a free gift,it.s incredible!
My jupiter 80 is the best digital synth i've ever had..
Some purist will try to analyse the difference between the real analog synth emulated in this collection..but i absolutly don't care about these discussions.

There'is a time to speak about a filter between another..masturbating brain..and there.is a time to play!
Just play these sounds,and you're in the past.
The jupiter 80 appeals the musician in me like no other digital synth,with these warm harmonics you feel when you put your fingers on it.
And maybe this synth has the most beautiful pads i ever heard in a digital synth..
Fabulous!


2-another good news:
After the 512 live sets,memory is free so we have plenty of space to put our own sounds we can program(in a new synth sounds configuration.)

3-last good news:
This is only the first volume...roland planned another bank.
Great!

And the documentation (pdf) is superb !
And with a new soundlist ! (Neil will do not have to work again !)

Well explained, well written.

That's a relief! lol :D

Great supporting documentation I agree - the whole package from sound design to collection structure to documentation has been brilliantly thought out.

Is the JP-80 "The" real game changer ? ;-)

Practice is the real game changer.

It's more of a game changer than other things I can think of! ;)

I don't think you'll be disappointed :)

I'm having to delete/init many livesets/tones to make room for the ones I want from the collection!

Yep, got you ;-D

Loaded the entire collection which I think is awesome but I was shocked to find out it took out all the super natural acoustic tones out of their own categories. Am I the only one that is noticing this?

Yes, it took out from the colored buttons presets. There are still there, as a list on acoustic tabs when you select a instrument. Just change the tab from synth tones to acoustics...

It was an unpleasant surprise the first time for me too...

It's like an open market, choose the sounds you like/use, takes notes, then go back your previous backup and import only what you need.

Mmmm having the tones to choose from on the colored buttons was a really cool option. Thanks for the tip Stankh!

Well,this bank is like a "pure synth configuration"which isn't a bad thing i think.
If you want some old sounds just configure it.

Hey guys. Ok, I have to admit that i'm not a programmer, but just loved the sounds on the JP-80 as they were. When I play live I just go into single mode, hit for example piano, and the preset I like then hit play on song recorder and away I go! I found if i pre-select all my favourite presets by double tapping them, then each time I hit the particular coloured button for that instrument then my favourite sound is instantly accessible from those said front panel coloured buttons. It's really quick and simple then to play live along with my backing tracks on song player. I also used to own a Tb-303/SH-101/Juno 60/Jupiter 6 and D-50 in my time, so was looking forward immensely to being able to access more awesome synth sounds at the touch of a (brightly coloured!) button. I figured they would be under the relevant synth button in a (?) live set. Now I find that they have all moved to a somewhat illogical position, when I can eventually find them that is! Now I love Roland, went to the Roland Synth tour (which was awesome!), and am proud to have the Big Roland insignia up on stage, and am loving the legend sounds, but why can't they make things simple?! Is there a way to have the Synth as it was in V2, but import the new live sets into the relevant coloured button tabs? I rarely use the registrations, as I find them a bit 'big' on stage in a band mix, so have never created or written any new sounds, and am totally happy with the presets. I just want to be able to access the legend presets in addition to the onboard ones in a logical way, i.e a new synth legend juno 60 pad would be under the pad button, so it's quick and easy to access! SH-101 basses would be under bass/synth bass etc! Can anyone advise me on how to do this please?! Thanks in advance synth genieii!
