OT: Roland JV1080 vst?!

If they’d only done this 10-15 years ago. Cloud is a non-starter for me. Virtual instruments model real instruments. The most important part of that is that they are an INSTRUMENT — something you own for life.

But as I said, the subscription service has an actual incentive that isn't some pretentious esoteric toss that make them seem like greedy corporate money-grubbing bastards. With Roland, 12 months = you pick an instrument to own for life. Not a bad deal really. Far better than Adobe's Creative Cloud or, even worse, the iOS version of Clip Studio Paint (where the latter has NO incentives for being a subscriber (not even cloud storage)).

I gave it a try, and it’s shocking how many sounds are so eerily familiar to me. No, seriously, I grew up listening to eurodance cheese when I was in my late single digits/preteen years, and while 90% of eurocheese is “meh” to me these days (with about 5-10% of that being super cringy), I’m still shocked at how many of the sounds I immediately recognise.

Yep, that's because practically every studio had them, they were the industry's go to bread and butter sounds.

@Tarekith : I agree. The 1080 never sounded that great. What was that like 8 megabytes for like 500 sounds? No thanks.

It’s the 90s tv show sound.

Yet I thought the M1 was. The iM1 WAS the Seinfeld themesong sound, which includes the mouth percussion if I’m not mistaken. However, I’ve no doubt the 1080 was the bread-and-butter. It’s crazy.

So, after firing up my laptop at about 10am, I’m STILL waiting for windows updates to finish installing. It’s only been about 3-4 weeks since I last fired it up. And people wonder why I hate Windows PCs.

Updated to the creator edition last week, put my PC literally back to factory settings all my DAWS de registered along with all my plugins etc. Was not a happy chappie took me 6 hours to get it all back to a Music production state! Lesson learnt if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

Exactly. Just replace it instead. It’s not even forced obsolescence either. It’s just Windows.

Has anybody used the half-rack JV-1010 sound module? I bought it for my wife as a piano/organ sound module 20 years ago but she almost never used. I was exploring the sounds last night which I think are from the JV-1080 and I think they are amazing! They seem to run less than $100 on eBay now. I had not discovered a way to tweak the sounds but there are a ton of presets built in.

Yes, I've got one it's got the same waveset as the 2080, with an extra expansion embedded, but to edit you need to use an editor, Patch Base on iOS can be used or the editor for the desktop. The Effects setting is limited compared to the 2080.

Ah, the mouth percussion was real. Come to find out after all these years that the themesong was far more brilliant than I ever thought. Thank you for this vid.

I had two of them when I still had a hardware studio. So amazing. What they did with the limited resources and a few samples was astonishing. All thanks to incredibly intricate programming and per-patch FX setups... if anyone put the same amount of effort into synth patches with today's computing power, you would become 5-dimensional upon hearing it!

People do that!

@Cib yeah I know, I should check out more of that modern synth stuff, but then again, I'm hiding in a dark basement all the time trying to perfect the app that puts order into the song ideas chaos

But i know what you mean.
But yes, there are some really awesome sound designs out there i could just dream of.
But also for FX apps/plug-ins which can be even more fun.
It´s also a rare thing for iOS still but it´s early days.

The Integra-7 contains almost all those wonderful JV and SRX expansions

Thanks, didn't know that! I've only briefly messed with an Integra-7 at Guitar Center and watched some YouTube videos. So, maybe I should give it another chance if you say you like it... !
