I enjoy using my Behringer Deepmind 12, it is inspired by the Roland Junos.
I love the textures of this Juno X in this video, 🤙🤌
The piano’y presets sound really good, sound like they overlayed some samples/wave table tones on top of the usual subtractive synth. That is killer.
Cocaine on top of any Casio
This is an area I'm trying to relearn old machines and how to understand and use new Analog Synths like Moog.
I'm rebuilding my broken ESQ-1 and can't wait to hear it live again!
At first glance, it's checking all the boxes.
That’s wonderful to hear!!
😂
Yep another candidate. It's Friday today so might even be on today's show 😄
Great stuff Matt. If it inspires you, as you said, then that's all that matters. One massive plus point for the newer model is the upkeep, with maintenance and servicing of those older synths and drum / bass machines being on a yearly or every couple of years and parts dwindling or end of life components that are like hens teeth to find. Big thanks to the PLAP team
Thanks ever so much for sharing
I really appreciate it Joey
Awesome review Matt thanks!
Thanks ever so much!
Thanks Matt! Great review
Thanks ever so much
Awesome sounds, so much fun!!
Thanks ever so much Eric!
When you choose the legacy models 106 and 60 you need to scroll until you see the preset names change to all (CAPS) that is the true dry presets that align to the models with out using any sounds effects, so dry sounding and more authentic sounding. Otherwise the first 100 or so presets are inspired sounds of the 60&106
Meko Open Labs, Roland Phantom, Mini Moog, OP-X, Korg Triton among others. I know I'm missing some Good One's. Cheers! Warren , Hope your week is going well.🎹🎼🎵🙋
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
there is a comment in the film Modulations where one of the famous DJs is asked does he ever make his own sounds on the synths..- program his own synth sounds... and I love his answer.."why? whats the point? you already got 80 presets.. If you can make something work with 80 presets..man you got problems!!" when you were complaining about the Juno not sounding exactly like the original..LOL.. made me think of that quote..
great review, it is a good re-release, and although I haven't tried it yet, it doesn't give me the same inspiration as the 106 can even it has a high noisefloor. Spooky vibes with the long shutter of your second cam.. no light and iso maxed out on the sony?
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Great review?? He played a couple of sounds and basically had no excitment or interest in the product. Like really trying things out instead of trying to emulate a 40 year old synth.. Would you have a doctor use 40 year old technology to save your life? Come on man.. I say if you have the older synths and love them well then use them but this is what today is .I say do over and show what the thing can do.
@@joro7656 If you want more in depth about the new sounds and posibilities you should watch the Alex ball video to see the new engine and features, but basically this is HW interface to the roland cloud software, so I think the feeling and instant satisfaction of the analog counterpart is most important, and that's what he highlighted for me by doing this review this way. No excitement from me either, although it sounds kind of similar to the original, it is not enough and doesn't give me anything any other modern synth or controller with software cannot give.
Post some of your synth tracks so we can hear them..
@@MaraldBes I get it. But why do a review just to try to emulate a 106 and at the end of the video say that it was inspiring. Show what it can do I would say. But I do agree with you for sure. Not everyone is going to get there hands on a 106.
Thanks for this review, Matt. Personally I think this synth is absolutely incredible. I also think that if you put any effort into it at all, you can faithfully recreate any sound the 106 makes to the point where in a blind taste test nobody except lucky guessers could tell the difference. The digital vs. analog argument, for me, is ridiculous, and has been since the late 2000's. People also forget that the 106 IS a digital/analog hybrid - it is NOT a "pure" analog synth. DCOs do shape the sound differently than VCOs. Also filter stepping, while an issue with many digital synths, is practically non-existent on this machine, especially to the point where anyone would care - it has 1024 points of resolution in the slider! Methinks people doth protest too much. So, favorite synths for me? I love my Roland Fantom 8. I also love my Reface CS. I also have a Moog Sound Studio which I adore. Rock on!
The DeepMind 12 and the Cobalt 8
Thanks for sharing
Wonder how it compares to System 8? Does it have the detune/age simulation ability? The system 8 was killer IMHO. Juno-X is on the radar, but hard to not just save up for the fantom 7. (or even 6).
The Juno-X looks good. It already has some dusting on it, so it start looking more and more like a Juno-106 taking out off the attic. :)
Wow, that looks like its from the future
Good! I'll take that!
Thanks Matt. 😊
Thanks ever so much Audrey!!
Well done test. I am not interested to get a vintage thing or its evolution. I have plenty of them as VSTs. I am more interested in a modern thing, with extreme technologies. Like hydrasynth deluxe, for example.
Great! Thanks ever so much for sharing!!
In other words you really like digital?
@@ultrajayme I like innovative design. I don't like devices that are copies from the past and cost a lot. Analog or digital is not relevant. Quality and innovation are. Hydrasynth is cheap, innovative and performant.
@@furiobisotti8150 I have a Hydrasynth. :)
It's awesome.
@@furiobisotti8150thanks ever so much for sharing
I think a comparison of a retro syntherziser to a modern one is not important, because the sounds of the old ones are used in music of back when, people need to understand the vendors want to give a new sound to the patches. one which can be used in contemporary music. But then again since modern music is degraded so much that listeners can't hear complicated chords, or they will link automatically to old music it is a bit of a difficult topic to debate. Imo unless modern music will get a new life and do a rebound with older music composing styles, music will never get to the highs of the once great music of last millenium.... The difference doesn't have to be a huge as classical and pop music of the 80's , but to give a new sound to chords and chord progressions, and cadences withing a progression people or producers could work with effect, because imo that is exactly what is easier to apply to tracks or recordings these days....lyrics and music need to have a certain depth in message and tension to make a song worth while to listen to, or to make it a song you listen to over and over...
Juno 60 but I dont know what record it was famously played on...
Lot's of artists used it! Such as Enya, Vince Clarke (Erasure, Yazoo), Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw, a-ha, Billy Idol, Berlin, Eurythmics, A Flock of Seagulls and Wham! to name a few!
Sounds like a VST IMO
8:14 You just made all your viewers that are wearing headphones ears bleed! 😲
This is basically Roland Cloud in keyboard. I'd rather just subscribe to the cloud and use a MIDI keyboard--you should get identical sounds and pay a lot less.
It doesn't sound quite like actual analog. It's similar, but definitely NOT the same.
4:05 my teeth hurt. I could never use that kind of patch in a production with a straight face! 😂
I have the Roland AE-30 wind synth and I avoid almost all the "realistic" sounds in the ZEN Core and SuperNatural sound engines. But other brands are no better. To think that back in the 80s I was eagerly anticipating the arrival of ROMplers only to find out how naff the majority of sounds were 😢. Having said that, the theme music for Law & Order was really good.
Post some of your tracks here..
You obviously don’t do sound design? Many of those ‘crap sounds’ layered with the other 3 synths make something. Then there’s partials. Check out the individuals within a D-50 patch for example
RIP 🪦 headphone users at 8:15 😢
The audacity of Roland.
Great video, but the soound of your voice is terrible! Cuts my ears :-(
People saying Great review?? He played a couple of sounds and basically had no excitment or interest in the product. Like really trying things out instead of trying to emulate a 40 year old synth...I say do over
And that is why I don’t buy Roland synths.
Why? Do you have any tracks you can let us hear? Love you hear music with a real synthesiser LOL
@@joro7656 sorry my comment upset you so much.
Try the System 8 🔥
@@MatthewTomich the system 8 looks good. My issue with Roland is they have parked themself in the past, whilst having to compete in the digital domain. I use, Omnisphere, serum, kontact, Roli, Arturia as they are for me so much better. I don’t own any Roland softsynths.
Almost everything Roland makes anymore flops. I cannot get behind the new Juno. Sounds like every other digital hunk of plastic they've made now for years. System 8 might be the only real quality synth they have made in a long time. Maybe JDXA but then they throw that stupid tiny little orange LCD calculator screen on it that has pages of menu diving.
Meanwhile Korg, Arturia, Novation, ASM, Sequential, Elektron, dread box, polyend to name just a few, are creating better and better instruments every couple years or so.
I love old Roland gear but they're sticking to their guns as a detriment. I know nobody seeking out any new Roland products yet everyone I know who is into music production is all over many other brands. Not a coincidence.
Roland is completely out of touch. Don't get me wrong, lovely synth, fantastic... but 2k !? I'm sticking with Behringer forever. I'm starting to think they even respect musicians a little more
Deepmind user? Me too
@@AlexanderShibilski pro800, pro1 , polyD... apples and oranges. All top notch synths. Love the deepmind too, definitely on my buy list
The DX-7 cost $2000…. in 1984. In today’s money, that would be over $5,800. $2,000 is not an unreasonable price for a synth from Roland.
I'm not a huge fan of Roland either. I use Roland Cloud and I think their sounds, especially the "acoustic" patches like Rhodes or pianos are mediocre.
@@IrnBruNYC different worlds. Global economy is going to sh**t. I think it's not a very nice move coming from a popular brand... if what they intend is to keep popular and relevant. That being said, there are so many options under 1k that do the same thing, why on earth would I buy this for 2k. Not to mention that I really doubt resale is going to be even decent.
That thing sounds like a generic "retro" VST
Your dialog audio sounds bad. Annoying frequencies. Shame on you guys
I went to your page, was expecting a lot of music etc, then went to your defunct website. Can we see and hear what you do?
