Kinda sad that only decent priced synths with multi stage envelopes are either semi-toy botiques or decades old original digital rolands, yamahas ans Casios. Even the most basic CZ-101 had better envelopes than whats available as new.
I have one and love it despite the shade thrown its way. I mean all that functionality thrown into a tiny box for not crazy money? I love the synth engine too, and bought the editor. But I’m definitely building a TouchOSC performance control panel for certain aspects of the JD-08 at some point.
I just realised that a lot of these faders are both ( + & - ) values, which makes the distance even smaller. I imagine like much of Roland gear, that down the line when fader jitter inevitable develops, the user will have a wild randomise turned on 24/7
Goddam... Your right! 😜 I still HAVE a JD-800 with all the carts, and I STILL want this to go along the JX-08 Boutique I just got (solely because I had a JX-8P and still regret selling it 15 years ago...)
The pan flute / nes cart blow is a perfectly executed joke 30 years in development. Unlimited props! First track sounded perfectly like Depeche a la Ultra.
Easily one of the funniest Bad Gear episodes since the Roland T8 one! "Fridge magnet version" and "Vintage time bomb contraption" represent some of your finest descriptive writing to date. You have created one of the very best channels on UA-cam, congratulations! Keep up the amazing work!
Note to self: no more bad gear episodes while eating dinner, that cartridge pan flute almost made me spit my food across half my studio (again) ... well played sir :D
@@annother3350 I want SOOO badly to like this thing, but Roland's habitual lack of class-compliance, and the criminal omission of sysex capabilities, have put it beyond the pale, unless I stumble across someone utterly fed up with the limitations and selling it for half price :P . Maybe it's time to take another look at a Blofeld on Reverb. :D
I was an early adopter of the JD-08 and wasn’t particularly knowledgeable of the original. While I did start to find some of the restrictions and was made aware of more as I started reading reviews, the thing that makes me not regret buying it is … it just sounds so good. Just hoping Roland will cave in and do a firmware update that provides sysex so we can control the thing with something with proper sized controls.
I also own a JD-08 (less than a year old). Once you turn off some of the Tone layers, you find some pretty decent vintage pad sounds. I might roll off some of the high end in an EQ, but this unit is quite powerful in crafting sounds. It does not have to be just for 90s throwback raves.
"...it just sounds so good." True dat. I just picked one up for $not_bad to give our church's keyboardist some more sonic breadth and depth for layering to pair with our new stage piano. Hey, the combo was way cheaper than a Fantom :D [edit - our keyboardist is pretty content with the sounds already in the keyboard (SL Numa Piano - some really nice tones there) so I kept the JD. After a while I decided it really wasn't gelling with me and I sold it. I've not had seller's remorse this bad in decades! I'm currently seeing JDs on reverb for less than I made selling mine so I'm thinking "cool, get another one and STILL come out ahead!"]
I went to Roland once, you are on their most wanted list. In Roland Japan, there is a room where the employees release their stress with a dummy, the dummy has your face on it. I do have your picture in a portrait on my nightstand, beside my mom. And another on the fridge held by a DX7 magnet. And in my studio, you riding a horse.
The density and layering of the comedy gold in these videos is just too good. Like Arrested Development tier layering. I can watch them all at least twice and keep finding more gold.
I struggle to decipher what goes on the heads of Roland's engineers and marketing folks. "Yeah, we're going to do that one synth, but bite size...and leave out the entire reason it was worth owning the original!"
They have an algorithm and a score chart. If a product scores too high on the awesome chart they figure it will be so good they won't be able to sell the next version, so they purposefully dial down the features to ensure the market for their future items.
The truth is, just the sequencer on this tiny synth, plus a Boss RC-505, is enough to pound out synthwave bangers all day. Add a KP3, and you're ready to go on tour! Great show. :)
Thanks man! I absolutely love this thing. When I got mine last year, I dusted off 1 of my XP computers, linked it to an Evolution 16 and let the plug and play auto-setup connect it to those tiny slider JD-08 parameters with some turny knobs on the Evolution 16. I really like those 4 buttons that let you turn the 4 wave synths on and off live! ALL the original presets are there, plus more, plus you can build your own sounds. IT's way better than the Korg Radius, which operates in a similar way! You can also record each of the 4 wave setups separately in your DAW and mix from there with your mouse, but it ain't the same as pressing those 4 little buttons live!
With every song you played with this thing, I got fuzzies on my skin and back of my neck.. Thats a GOOD thing. The sounds on the JD08/800 are indescribably haunting and nostalgic.. I swear, I do not know what it is, but I can certainly FEEL IT. This thing is well worth the purchase and whats more, it is small enough to fit in a back pack! Thats always a plus in my book!
Should I make this comment about: a) How third graders can now change 64 parameters with one hand b) Wondering how this compares to the CS-80 patch memory sliders c) How much I love this show
I listen to your videos through my studio monitors. Certainly not the most expensive but I have to tell you your mixes sound great. But you make Bad Gear sound good? Paradoxical! I think you take the strengths of these products and through your composition skills make them work. Always entertaining, I always look forward to your videos.
Ive been getting into these small boutique synths because i link them up with my mpc one! Honestly id love the bigger stuff but making my studio work in my small ass apartment is hard enough! The berhinger desktop series and roland boutique have been saviors for me
I made the mistake today of trying to eat my lunch while watching. I had to save it for later because I realized that if I look away for only one instant I miss something. I should know I have to stay on the pause button because my old addled brain just can’t grok every awesome tidbit in real time. I have a JD-08 and love it, but also laughed out loud at all the shade thrown its way. But I also love that you find something to like about everything you review, and that plus the entertainment is worth some cash.
Just got my JD-08 used, it is just fun to get lost in sounds. It punches WAY above its size and I am glad that Roland addressed voices and timbrality concerns.
@@AudioPilz there is a side by side comparison with the original of the factory patches in a video by Glenn Main (I think with the version for the Jupiter-X but it should sound the same) and I could not hear a difference.
When you're not making me miss the gear that I've let go over the years, you're making me seriously consider new gear that I really don't want or need but sounds so good in your jams that it just might fit into my synth rig. Also, did I just see a touch of 2001 slit scan flash by in the kitschwave? I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Giving us the music genres we didn't knew we needed in our life! Thanks you for hooking me on Kitschwave and thank you once again for a fantastic episode. Oh, and a small correction: 2:00 The JD800 did not just have two oldschool displays, but three (2 LCDs and the 7-segment LED one)…
@@zeroequalsthree8649 Thank you, I'm stumped! So they really did mask two of the 40 character columns off? Probably because the display wasn't cramped enough for Roland's UI standards ;)

You can simulate drum kits by creating drum sounds on each layer and assigning them to key ranges. Then you essentially have a 4 track drum synth on one part. You can use the same method with melodic synth parts. Different sounds on different layers and assigned to key ranges. It's a little tedious but you could have up to 8 parts going at once in one sequence.
I love the way it sounds. It's the perfect Vaporwave synth. Also have you tried powering your Boutiques from a USB power bank? That might help with the noise.
I couldn't any more mad at Roland after watching this video. The JD-800 has always been a dream synth, thanks Roland for once again destroying my dreams. That being said, I sold a JD-XA because it turns out all of those knobs, faders and buttons can be ruined by a horrible tiny LCD and a manual so infuriating that it makes you want to sell all your gear and buy a didgeridoo and spend the rest of your life on a hippy compound tying to fit into the drum circle. I digress. I do have a MC-505 that I'm still very happy with and a new MC-707 that is a dream to use, both sound great and are a huge value. And now we're back to square one, Roland destroyer of dreams and yet at the same time your oldest best friend.
I got the JD 08 almost a month ago. I was in love with the expectations i had for it, only to be let down. It sucks. Im ready to give it away to someone who doesnt know anything about the JD 800, or anything about synths at all in general. Maybe it'll get the attention it thinks it deserves. Edit. I am really trying hard to like it. But the more i use it, i realize i hate it, and maybe someone else can make better use of it.
You can actually get the filter to self-oscillate on the JD-08, and it sounds good too! As far as I know you cannot pitch the sound using a pitch bend so you'll have to do something like control the filter via aftertouch instead.
[*Drake saying nah*] Boutique synths that are too small to play [*Drake saying yeah*] Memes that are on screen for such a short amount of time that you need to rewind the video 3 times just to pause at the right moment and be able to read them
I need to admit - you put the most darkest memes in this one. The meme with the speed of light made me write this comment. Great work! As always! I am a big fan of your creativity and humour. And I love Roland stuff, although - the older one ;) PS. Your jam is better than the latest DM single.
i bought my first piece of bad gear, just got a volca sample 2 after seeing the original in supporting roles on the show i have no idea what i am doing but it's a fun start to my future crippling synthesizer addiction
This synth sounds absolutely incredible honestly. I usually use synths without adjusting knobs too much so with the right MIDI controller this thing seems like a DREAM
I've got a JD-800 I rescued from red glue land, what a very cool synthesizer. I love the sounds they are very retro and pair really well with an analog synth. I like to pair a fat analog lead with some JD digital ambiance. Rolands JD-800 plugin is very good as well.

It had character.
"Nothing is more 80s than the early 90s" Truer words were never spoken.
The 90s began in 1988 but the 80s didn't end until 1993.
@@RodBeauvex 100% accurate.
@@scottnelle Looking back, though, I would argue the 90s were pretty much over by 1998.

I laughed so hard when I heard the pan flute sound while blowing in the cart appeared! 😂😂😂 Awesome episode! The JD-08 is is on my wish list. 😊

It's great, I just got mine a few weeks ago. Great 3rd party presets available too.

Yeah, it's a PITA!!!
I have toggle switches with more throw than these roland microfaders.
I just realised that a lot of these faders are both ( + & - ) values, which makes the distance even smaller.
I imagine like much of Roland gear, that down the line when fader jitter inevitable develops, the user will have a wild randomise turned on 24/7
ridiculously tiny faders, may as well have used encoders like Modal synths
@@thelateraledge I wonder if there is a notch in the middle of the fader range. Might get tricky to get precise motions.

Someone missed the timbre wolf episode
Timbre Wolf FTW!!!
It does sound pretty good. Panel looks like an instrument… of torture, though.

Yeah, it's not easy to like it
I’ve been refreshing UA-cam for over a hour since I got home from work too watch new badgear vid !!!
❤️❤️❤️
blowing in the cart for wood flute tones. Gold!
😂😂😂
"There's nothing more 80's than the early 90's" :DDD I love your Stilblüten sometimes.
Thanks!!!
I never knew I loved Kitch Wave until now lol
😍😍😍
That Oxygen8 deserves to be in the Hard Rock Cafe at this point
Right next to the NIN DX7;)
Volca: sees decent success
manufacturers: it's because of the 7 segment displays!
Lol
You can actually get the filter to self-oscillate on the JD-08, and it sounds good too! As far as I know you cannot pitch the sound using a pitch bend so you'll have to do something like control the filter via aftertouch instead.
IM CONVINCED IVE JOINED A CULT OF THE TINY SYNTHS...
[*Drake saying nah*] Boutique synths that are too small to play
[*Drake saying yeah*] Memes that are on screen for such a short amount of time that you need to rewind the video 3 times just to pause at the right moment and be able to read them
Okay... I LOLd at the SNES pan flute blower.
😀😀😀
That icy ending track does really nail a sound that is an early 90s crystallization of the 80s decade, but also looking forward into the 90s
Thank you!
I need to admit - you put the most darkest memes in this one. The meme with the speed of light made me write this comment. Great work! As always! I am a big fan of your creativity and humour. And I love Roland stuff, although - the older one ;) PS. Your jam is better than the latest DM single.
Thank you!!!
The "awhaleable" image made me laugh out loud.
😀😀😀
I lost it at the blowing in the snes cart.
😀😀😀
I am so glad they made a "JD-800 model" for the Jupiter-X.
Nice!
i bought my first piece of bad gear, just got a volca sample 2 after seeing the original in supporting roles on the show
i have no idea what i am doing but it's a fun start to my future crippling synthesizer addiction
Nice!!! Welcome to the other side;)
This makes me smile. I bought a used Jupiter 50 five years ago for the price of two Boutique synths.
Wow, nice find!
It has tiny sliders, but I like the 80s sounds from this thing. Roland has so much gear that they can monopolize Bad Gear for a long time to come.
To be fair their most popular synths were mistakes that originally sold awfully (303 bass synth, 606,808 and 909 drum synths)
Damn, I love Roland so much!!!
This synth sounds absolutely incredible honestly. I usually use synths without adjusting knobs too much so with the right MIDI controller this thing seems like a DREAM
They really found a sweet spot here!
I've got a JD-800 I rescued from red glue land, what a very cool synthesizer. I love the sounds they are very retro and pair really well with an analog synth. I like to pair a fat analog lead with some JD digital ambiance. Rolands JD-800 plugin is very good as well.
Nice!!!
A fridge magnet version. I nearly pissed myself.
😀😀😀
No wonder that the Roland rep I met the other day looked so depressed
;)
You made the baby Roland cry.
😥😥😥
