A must-have board for every keyboardist interested in
classic synthesizer patches, SR-JV80-04 Vintage Synth focuses on a
myriad of classic waveforms from all synthesizers "that count" -
including many from Roland's own stable. On offer are lots of samples from such classics as Roland Jupiter and Super-Jupiter, SH series, Juno, VP-330, but also from other brands such as Oberheim OB series, Moog, ARP, Sequential Circuits, and many more. The sound quality of this collection is superb - the programmers were able to capture the analog feel of most of the samples, and treated them with expert programming to add even more authenticity to the static waveforms. |

We have all kinds of sounds here, ranging from classic synth bass and soft pads, to resonant special effects, analog strings, and sci-fi ambiences of all types. You can get an idea of what this board sounds like by listening to the demos below. |
