Oooh well...

[bruitator]

Ah si c'est du hardware, ça m'intéresse surtout le Juno et le Jupiter.

c'est moi ou j'ai l'impression qu'il faut se tourner vers du modulaire pour avoir un peu de folie dans des synthés ?
une ressassée des plus gros synthé Roland copié samplé et entendu dans tellement de productions...

Push-Pull qui reve d'un synthé Mutable basé sur Elements et Clouds en voila une bonne idée !!!

[Skid]

Tout à fait.
Les grands fabricants suivent la demande (analo, vintage, technos d'il y a 30-40 ans). Ils sont surement bien contents de pouvoir vendre à prix fort sans avoir à innover et trop se creuser la tête. Tant qu'il y aura de la demande pour du neovintage, ils ne feront aucun effort d'innovation. Pourquoi dépenser pour innover et prendre des risques ? On peut les comprendre.
Les "innovations" (si on laisse de coté le Live coding et les softs) se trouvent du coté des fabricants de modulaire : c'est nettement plus un argument de vente sur ce marché, sans aucun doute.

[Notator]

c'est moi ou j'ai l'impression qu'il faut se tourner vers du modulaire pour avoir un peu de folie dans des synthés ?

C'est normal, les volumes fabriqués ne sont pas les mêmes.

On peut rapidement redresser le tir sur des petits volumes fabriqués, ciblés sur des marchés de niches, donc plus aisément prendre des risques.

Il n'en va pas de même pour du matos fabriqué à des milliers d'exemplaires, où on n'a pas le droit de se planter, et où il faut arriver à donner envie à des milliers de gens aux goûts pas nécessairement semblables.

[Biosynth]

(Roland tease donc je me permets de donner quelques infos)
j'ai pu les essayer, c'est 100% numérique mais ca sonne !!!!!! jamais entendu un numérique sonner comme ça
Chassis métal, bonne finition, un peu petit à mon gout mais franchement ils ont cartonné.

[FABRE]

Tu aurais un visuel

[Notator]

Deux octaves en minitouches (pas sûr que ce soit de vraies touches, d'ailleurs) ?

Ça commence à vraiment faire juste...

A ce train-là, ils vont finir par nous sortir une réplique du synthé de David Guetta, qui a trois touches...

[lyynk]

Bon, on va pouvoir déplacer le sujet dans nos numériques préférés, technologie ACB inside.





Roland JP-08 Synthesizer Module
The legendary Jupiter-8 synth is back - as a limited-edition module no bigger than a book. Part of the Roland Boutique series, the JP-08 is all about hands-on control and that iconic Jupiter sound. With an array of 36 knobs and sliders from the original Jupiter-8 front panel, the 4-voice JP-08 is highly programmable and encourages sonic experimentation, especially with the built-in speaker and battery operation. Using Roland's acclaimed Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology the JP-08 faithfully reproduces the original Jupiter-8 sounds and adds a few new twists in the form of extra LFOs and expanded VCO range. You can even slide the JP-08 into the K-25m keyboard unit (not included) for a self-contained, go-anywhere synth experience.

Huge Synth. Small Package.
The Jupiter-8 was a big synth in every way; physically imposing with loads of knobs and sliders, and most importantly, a huge sound. The JP-08 retains the big sound of the Jupiter-8 but shrinks everything else - including the price - into a module measuring under 12" across.

Hands-on control
With such an expressive sound engine, you'll want to shape the sounds to match your mood. With 36 of the original parameters accessible from the front panel, the JP-08 is all about hands-on control, and even users of the Jupiter-8 will quickly feel at home as the user interface and programming 'feel' is highly reminiscent of the original.

New Sound-Shaping Options
Even though the JP-08 is an authentic recreation of the Jupiter-8, Roland also included a few extras. The JP-08 adds several new waveforms to the original architecture, including TRI and NOISE for the LFO and SIN for VCO-1, and both VCOs have an expanded range for even more sound shaping potential.

Develop Your Ideas with a 16-Step Sequencer
The onboard 16-step sequencer is a sonic scratchpad that lets you try out new ideas without bringing lots of gear - it can even be used without a keyboard. And if there's no keyboard connected, the ribbon controller lets you preview the sound, making it an ideal way to program patches quickly and easily.

Optional K-25m Keyboard Unit
The JP-08 works especially well with the K-25m, an optional 25-key velocity sensitive keyboard that takes your music making to the next level. Once docked in the keyboard, the module's front panel adjusts to three positions for convenient access to the knobs and sliders.

Chain Mode
One of the killer features of the original Jupiter-8 was its ability to create huge pads, splits and layers using its 8 voices of polyphony. The JP-08 features a chain mode that allows you to connect two JP-08 modules using the MIDI ports and create one, 8-voice synthesizer, just like the original. Adding additional modules adds another 4 voices of polyphony with each module. This is especially great when controlling the JP-08 from a larger external keyboard. You can even edit the sound from the master module and control both units. Great for real-time filter sweeps and LFO effects.

Battery or USB Bus Power
Some of the best music is made away from the studio, so the Roland Boutique series runs on 4 x AA batteries, ready for when inspiration strikes. Alternatively, you can power the JP-08 via USB bus power.

USB Audio Interface for Direct Recording Into Your DAW
The built-in USB port also functions as a high-quality 24bit, 44.1 kHz audio interface, for a fast, simple and reliable way of recording directly to your DAW application. You can keep your favorite patches and sequencer patterns safe too, via the USB data backup function.

Features:
- Ultra-compact recreation of the iconic Jupiter-8 synthesizer
- Retains the feel, sound, character and user interface of the original
- 36 of the original synth parameters controllable from the front panel
- Adds several additions not found on the original Jupiter-8, including extra waveforms, expanded VCO range
- Chain mode allows two JP-08 to function as one 8-voice module
- Highly portable for mobile music making
- High-quality construction with metal front panel
- Dual ribbon controllers for pitch bend, modulation, and sound preview
- Battery-operated (4xAA) or USB powered
- 24 bit/ 44.1 kHz stereo IN/OUT USB audio interface
- Built-in 0.5W mini-speaker for instant enjoyment
- Compatible with optional K-25m keyboard unit

NOTE: Showed with optional K-25m keyboard.





Roland JX-03 Synthesizer Module
The Roland Boutique JX-03 module continues the legacy of the JX-3P synth. The original model was launched when button-driven interfaces were popular, so it was designed to give immediate access to preset sounds. It was actually highly programmable though, especially when used with the PG-200 controller that added 24 rotary knobs for instant sonic sculpting. The limited-edition 4-voice JX-03 inherits all 24 knobs from the PG-200, as well as the distinctive JX tonal character. Roland also added some extras not present in the JX-3P including new waveforms, expanded DCO range and cross modulation options. You can even slide the JX-03 into the K-25m keyboard unit (not included) for a self-contained, go-anywhere synth experience.

JX-3P Sound. Built-in controller.
Often described as a forgotten classic, the JX-3P was all about instant access to big sounds, with a simple button-driven interface rather than lots of knobs and sliders. When used with the optional PG-200 controller however, the power of the highly programmable engine was revealed. The new JX-03 module recreates the panel layout of the PG-200 - including all 24 knobs - giving direct and instant access to the versatile synth architecture.

Additional sound-shaping options
Like the other members of the Boutique range, Roland also added a few subtle improvements that weren't found on the original models. The JX-03 benefits from extra waveforms and extended range for both DCOs as well as extra waveforms for the LFO. The second DCO also gets extra cross-modulation options. These additions further expand the sound creation possibilities of the battle-tested JX engine.

Develop your ideas with a 16-step sequencer
The onboard 16-step sequencer is a sonic scratchpad that lets you try out new ideas without bringing lots of gear - it can even be used without a keyboard. And if there's no keyboard connected, the ribbon controller lets you preview the sound, making it an ideal way to program patches quickly and easily.

Works with optional K-25m keyboard unit
The JX-03 works especially well with the K-25m, an optional 25-key velocity sensitive keyboard that takes your music making to the next level. Once docked in the keyboard, the module's front panel can be tilted for convenient access to the knobs and sliders.

Chain Mode
The original JX-3P was a powerful synth featuring 2 digitally controlled oscillators for each of its 6 voices. The JX-03 features a chain mode that allows you to connect two JX-03 modules using the MIDI ports and create one, 8-voice synthesizer. Adding additional modules adds another 4 voices of polyphony with each module. This is especially great when controlling the JX-03 from a larger external keyboard. You can even edit the sound from the master module and control both units. Great for real-time filter sweeps and envelope adjustments.

Some of the best music is made away from the studio, so the module runs on 4 x AA batteries, ready for when inspiration strikes. Alternatively, you can power the JX-03 via USB bus power.

"...using Roland's acclaimed Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology"

Acclaimed by who, au juste ?

[Darkentries]

Weight (including batteries): 2 lbs. 2 oz. (940g)

[Krapod]

940g hors clavier optionnel bien sûr.

Acclaimed by who, au juste ?

Très certainement par des utilisateurs satisfaits de la gamme AIRA.

[Georges]

Pourquoi se limiter à une polyphonie de 4 voix ?

Il doit bien exister des microcontrôleurs bon marché et assez puissants pour générer 8 voix, non ?
__

Ah, si, maintenant que j'ai lu qu'on peut les chaîner, je devine pourquoi : c'est pour doubler le profit en en vendant 2 au lieu d'1 !

[synthwalker]

Je pense que cette série utilise le moteur du System-1 qui génère aussi 4 voix. Ce synthé sonne très bien d'ailleurs, c'est ce que disent tous ceux qui l'ont essayé...

[yusynth]

Ceci ne devrait-il pas être transféré dans la catégorie numérique du Site car en dehors du nom il n'y a rien d'analogique ici.

Pour ce qui est du son… je n'ai pas eu l'occasion d'essayer, mais il faut quand même reconnaître qu'entre la situation que nous connaissions au début des années 2000 et aujourd'hui la puissance de l'informatique a énormément progressé et que si les émulations et autre VAs de 2000 ne tenaient pas la comparaison avec l'analogique pur ce n'est plus vrai aujourd'hui, des machines comme le Solaris de John Bowen le démontrent parfaitement. Aujourd'hui si je préfère encore l'analogique c'est parce que je sais pouvoir entretenir et réparer mes synthés analogiques, il n'en est pas de même pour les synthés numériques...

[baloran]

Tout dépendra du prix (et du son acclamé par tous, élu produit de l'année, médaille d'or du salon de Toussur-Lanote), mais le panel du JP8 format book est super séduisant
D'ailleurs, Il pourrait peut être piloter un MKS80 ?

[Pulsophonic]

Alors là, le clavier n'est pas mini mais micro ??? Bientôt obligés de se faire greffer des prothèses au bout des doigts pour jouer non ???

Se foutent de notre gueule avec leurs trucs mini... (au delà de la technologie numérique qui de toute façon est rédhibitoire pour moi sur ce genre de machines)...

[Taurim]

Le clavier est optionnel (K25m).

Ce sont 3 modules séparés qu'on peut glisser dans ce clavier K25M, formant ainsi un synthé à miniclavier 25 touches.

You can even slide the Jx-xx into the K-25m keyboard unit (not included) for a self-contained, go-anywhere synth experience.

On peut aussi chaîner ce modules pour multiplier le nombre de voix (à l'infini ?) tout en utilisant seulement l'interface du premier module pour contrôler l'ensemble. Il précisent bien qu'on peut chaîner plusieurs modules pour ajouter 4 voies à chaque fois.

The Jx-xx features a chain mode that allows you to connect two Jx-xx modules using the MIDI ports and create one, 8-voice synthesizer. Adding additional modules adds another 4 voices of polyphony with each module. This is especially great when controlling the Jx-xx from a larger external keyboard. You can even edit the sound from the master module and control both units. Great for real-time filter sweeps and envelope adjustments.

C'est particulièrement intelligent comme conception.

...mais numérique

[Push-Pull]

Ceci ne devrait-il pas être transféré dans la catégorie numérique du Site car en dehors du nom il n'y a rien d'analogique ici.

Fait.

A part ça, bien joué le coup du clavier optionnel. Quelqu'un en parlait sur Anafrog il n'y pas si longtemps, voilà le truc réalisé !
