Synthesizer
ROLAND JP8000
This analog-like synth
with digital controllers offers large number of
qualities: virtually unlimited range of sounds
and very pleasant interface, with all the
controllers associated to a button (no menu or
selection key). The sending of MIDI control
changes linked to all the buttons allows to
record in MIDI all the modifications played in
real-time. On the down side, we find here, as on
the digital mixing desk, the "clicks"
induced by the discontinuity of the controllers
values (digital device weakness). This is not a
tremendous fault. Also, relatives endless buttons
would have been better than absolute ones, to
avoid the need to find the new position for a
parameter when a program is recalled. And in the
end, where is the "thru" MIDI plug? In
the case of the Flores Studio, the JP8000 is an
excellent substitute for the sampled sounds of
synthesizers delivered by the QY700 and the CD3000.
