New time machine episode – ROLAND ALPHA JUNO Analog Synthesizer 1985
Synthesizer demo of the analog synthesizer Roland Alpha Juno(1) from 1985.
The Alpha Juno has a similar voice architecture to the earlier Junos – but on the Alpha some things were enhanced: backlit display, variable chorus speed, a more complex envelope, the envelope can be routed to the pitch, additional waveforms for DCO and sub oscillator, the PWM has its own dedicated LFO, key velocity and aftertouch (can be routed to filter or/and volume).
Time machine: Roland SH-09 Analog Synthesizer Demo
This video demonstrates the sound of the vintage Roland SH-09 monophonic analog synthesizer. Enjoy!
A very stripped down monosynth from Roland’s classic SH-series. Its single oscillator only has PWM, ramp, square and noise waveforms. It has a similar architecture to the SH-101, the VCA can switch between gate or envelope, the VCF is pretty standard, and there is a sample-hold function which is great for voltage controlled filtering into acid and back! Another cool feature is its external input which will allow you to filter external audio through its VCF. Because they are pretty old now they will most likely have some functional problems like sticky keys, and noisy knobs and signal.
ROLAND JD-Xi // playing all 256 factory presets // Bank A
Playing all presets of Roland JD-Xi — Bank A. No tweaking. Just to give an overview of this machine.The display was tricking my camera so the color grading of the video is a quite dark to recover the least bit of readability — sorry! Bank B will hopefully be better
