ABOUT
DETAILS The Envelopes are all 7 or 8 parameter-multisegment ones! The filters are all ok exept the strange clipping at a certain level of resonance with some waveforms. full control via Midi SysEx. ringmod can be placed between the 4 layers: this is the prototype of Rolands following JV series and lots more.8MB ROM waves. FXM = sort of FM with square wave (depth and colour) 10 structures instead of 6 on the JD990 (added boost). incl. 16 rack sequencer. Disc drive integrated.
DETAILS Die Hüllkurven (12 Stück also) sind alles Multisegment-Hüllkurven mit Time-Level Struktur (7, bzw 8 Parameter), Die Filter sind gewohnt gut, nur gibt es bei bestimmten Wellenformen eine Art Clipping bei höheren Resonanzwerten. war komplett SysEx-Echtzeit steuerbar per Midi. die ringmod kann zwischen den 4 Layern platziert werden. diese Struktur wurde lange beibehalten zB JV Serie. 8MB ROM waves. FXM= eine Art FM mit rechteck (parameter: colour + depth) pro OSC nutzbar. 10 Verschaltungen (structures) statt 6 beim JD990 boost kam dazu. 16 track sequencer. workstation-like. Disklaufwerk.
