CEB Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 At 3:55. The new Jupiter simulates temperature based oscillator drift. Not sure how I feel about that. That was was a two edge sword. You can scale it or turn it off. [video:youtube] Quote "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

marczellm Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Older Roland romplers also have that feature called "Analog Feel". I don't know whether they improved on its realism.

EscapeRocks Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I think it's a fun feature. Now then, I like the kid from Roland in this vid. The guy from Anderton's is super annoying. Quote David Gig Rig:Depends on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 That's just gross. It puts the synth out of tune. The analog feel parameter on my XPs and Fantoms modulates the pitch of an oscillator with a random wave LFO. It's actually pretty cool. In small amounts it adds animation, and makes things less sterile while still sounding in tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I just watched the whole video - including annoying Anderton guy. Shows how much is going on in my life right now. Anyway I didn't realize it had speakers... could be kinda useful at times. The patch/program LEDs in the middle display other info when knobs and sliders are moved, which would definitely be useful. The vintage Roland lover in me is really attracted to this monstrosity. I hope this passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roygBiv Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Thanks CEB - that is a very drool-worthy instrument, I like all the grit/de-tuning, makes it seem more real. Never owned a Jupiter 8, but did get to play around with the one at the music store I worked at in the early 80's - that thing sat there FOREVER - nobody could afford the $3K (or whatever it was). Finally got sold years later to a touring band with cash. As to the annoying Anderton's guy - I kinda like his enthusiasm and inability to filter himself (kinda like Robin Williams on a talk show). Definitely an acquired taste though. Hate to think what he must have been like in a classroom back when he was a kid though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenner13 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Yep, Small doses do it best. Never really went above 3 with the Analog Feel on my Fantom settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 If you're going to model the instability of VCOs warming up, why not go all the way? This synth needs an autotune button! There could be a marketing reason Roland included this feature - along with the ageing parameters also demonstrated in the video. Maybe it brings the Jupiter X closer to the real deals when the inevitable one on one comparisons start showing up? I'm sure they've done these in house.
