Jupiter-8, Roland Juno-60, Juno-106, Poly 6 – Analog synth song
Gear used is jupiter-8, juno-106, juno-60, Poly 6, td-30 V-drums. Recorded and mixed in Sonar X1. EFX from Sonar.
Jupiter-8, Juno-60, TR-707 – 1980s style
Background information:
An ’80s synth / dark improvisation in my style utilizing mostly early ’80s Roland synths. I’m using a few “live” performance techniques like acting on the synth volumes and filters in real time. The verses are a bit “straight” but the choruses have a good chord progression and sound nice (if a bit melancholic) with the huge, magic, silky string sound of the JP-8, and the electric bass following on the high notes, wait for them
Equipment:
Roland Jupiter-8 = octave arpeggio synth bass, strings, pad, lead
Roland Juno-60 = pad
Roland TR-707 = drums, arpeggio sync
Fender Jazz = electric bass
Fender Stratocaster = electric guitar
Roland M-10DX = submixing, reverbs, echoes
Cakewalk Sonar X1 PE = recording, effects, compression
Roland Jupiter 6 + Roland Gaia “Super Midi”
Background info below:
In this video I have Midied out of the Jupiter 6 into the Gaia which allows me to play the Gaia through the Jupiter 6. The Jupiter 6 is set on an arpeggio string patch in which I have added some portamento. The Gaia is set on a Sawtooth Synth patch. The two synths sound very good together!

Wikipedia: “The Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter is an 8-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer that was manufactured by Roland between 1984 and 1987. It is the only of MKS series of synthesizers to have fully analog voltage controlled oscillators. Contrary to popular belief, the voice architecture is more closely related to the Jupiter-6 synthesizer than the Jupiter-8, the service manual states that “The module board of MKS-80 features the following in addition to that of JP-6, its brother module. ) HPF_ )Low boost circuit in the 2nd VCA. )DC supply current boost circuit.” The unit is fully capable of producing most of the Jupiter-8′s signature sounds, in addition to many sounds unique to the MKS-80. In 1985 out came another revision of MKS-80, known as “Rev 5″, that had no ties with any previous Jupiter’s hardware, as it used a new generation of both Roland VCO’s, VCA’s and filter. The Rev 5 filter was also used in JX-8P, JX-10 and MKS-70 synthesizers.”

Roland Jupiter 8 “Wicked”
The Jupiter-8 is an eight-voice polyphonic analog subtractive synthesizer introduced by Roland Corporation in early 1981.
The Jupiter-8, or JP-8, was Roland’s flagship synthesizer for the first half of the 1980s. Although it lacked the soon-to-be standard of MIDI control, later model Jupiter-8s did include Roland’s proprietary DCB interface, and all of them sported advanced features such as “Four on Four” and the ability to split the keyboard into two zones, with a separate patch active on each zone.
