  • ​THE JD-8OO
    ​is Roland's answer to half a decade of hard-to-program synthesizers. Covered in sliders that act as dedicated editors just like a classic analog synth, the JD-800 is an extremely programmable and hands-on digital synthesizer. It is also an interesting and great sounding digital synth with incredible flexibility and control. Internal ROM based waveforms are combined to build your sounds. The sounds are based on Roland's D-50, but updated for the nineties with multimode filters - uncommon but welcome at the time (source Vintage Synth Explorer).

    ​GET READY 
    ​to immerse yourself into the massive sounds of one of the most iconic and legendary synthesizers from the nineties in a Kontakt instrument. Contains inspiring arpeggios, lush pads, fat basses, screaming leads and pearcing synth sounds in any combination. Sampled in 44.100 Hz 24 Bit stereo for a very clear sound. ​
    ​
    ​THE SOUNDS
    ​were recreated in Kontakt with the help of the Kontakt effects, filters and modulators. And with the addition of an arpeggiator, even more sound possibilities are available. An instruments exists out of two layers that can be switched on and off and edited seperately. Multis exist out of several Instruments combined together to get huge layered sounds. JD-850 is divided into 12 different sound categories, containig 200 instruments (nki's) and 50 multi's (nkm's). The sound categories are: Arpeggios, Atmospheric, Bass, Brass, Keys, Leads, Pads, Percussive, Plucked, Strings, Synths and Winds.

    ​​THE GUI
    ​is very clear and easy to understand and makes the sounds very tweakable and it encourages you to make your own. The Master Controls page lets you edit the Filter, Envelope and Modulator parameters for the two layers seperately. The Arpeggiator & Effects page contains the parameters of the Arpeggiator and the settings of 6 different effects including a convolution reverb with 21 different reverb effects. The last page is for editing the settings of two more effects, 3-Band EQ and Stereo Modeler.
