@axwax @tiredhorizon here’s a larger view. That was my studio setup around 2021. Currently have a 3 tier setup with a Roland D50, Yamaha SY77 and Roland Super JX10 but i miss having the Sequential Sixtrak as main lead. Currently in storage. Also missing having drums above the keyboard. Main drum machine is off to the side now next to mixer.

Although, as a midi controller, the Roland Super JX10 with vecoven firmware is much superior.

I've put a few bars of the lead for Final Countdown on soundcloud, with the Roland jx8p factory preset 28, the jx10 factory preset, and my own patch using jx10 tone 72 plus added synth tone. All with HD Reverb. Also recorded the last one dry. Sequence was recorded on a Roland MSQ sequencer and looped

What do y'all think, pretty close?

@cou @iotar @synths and finally, LFO and envelope changes. Main change is env1 key to off. Env1 sustain is on the long side, probably not needed once the JX is plugged into a Hall Reverb (another key component for the sound). Here, a Zoom Multistomp MS-70CDR with HD Reverb.

@cou @StefanoGaivota @iotar @synths a lot more changes on vcf/vca

#Roland #superjx #jx10 #jx8p #synth #midi #programming

These are changes I would have made myself, open the filter, turn off dynamic, increase Vca vol and reduce Vca dyna (or even turn off). Jx10 preset is really close to the actual patch for the Final Countdown.

@cou @StefanoGaivota @iotar @synths

Some interesting discovery at lunch time. The stab brass tone (72, preset non volatile) on the JX10 is not used in the Stab Brass 8VA patch preset (C6) as I mentioned. So I decided to compare tone 72 from the #superjx #JX10 to preset 28 on the #Roland #jx8p. IMHO 72 sounds like 28 tweaked to make it sound more like the Final Countdown lead... jx 10 came out a year later, a possibility. #synth #programming #midi #analog

Starting with the DCOs, very similar:

@cou @StefanoGaivota @iotar @synths

I loaded the Factory preset JX8P tones into the JX 10 and sound 28 STAB BRASS (loads as D4 in the JX10) doesn't sound anything like C6 Stab Brass, especially due to layering which doesn't exist on the jx8p.

Here are the settings for the JX8P sound, before the tweaks, which I'll get to maybe on Tuesday,
#Roland #jx10 #jx8p #synth

@cou @StefanoGaivota @iotar and according to the JX10 manual (and checking on my synth), it is based on tones 74 and 75, GOWESTBAS 2 and GOWESTBAS 1. Sounds counterintuitive. I'll double check the JX8P preset to see what it is based on.
