r/Roland

Even though I have more sophisticated synths to use, these airas are great to sit down with and just jam for a few hours. It's very immediate and temporary - once I turn them off I forget which patterns and settings I used so that's it.

I recorded the last 20 minutes of this and picked out the best bit in the middle with the least mistakes and a few interesting transitions. A bit of a melodic techno vibe.

Just picked these up for $1000 Canadian. Older guy had them laying around since he sold his retail business back in 2014. He told me the V-4EX had never been used and that the CG-8 was used 3 times for local grad ceremonies he donated. I think the V-4EX at $750 was pretty much market value but the CG-8 at $250 seemed really underpriced, especially considering it is in mint condition. That said I am not finding much online about it. Doesn’t really mater I didn’t buy them to sell them anyway.

I have been tinkering/learning touch designer for the past couple years along with stream diffusion. My hope is to use these like tactile, hands-on instruments to feed projectors, CRT walls and stream diffusion through an older Alienware R10 rtx 3090 build. My buddy is an amazing DJ so I am wanting him to send me a stereo feed of his set so I can video jam or what ever it’s called while he mixes.

Any pointers or where to start learning would be super appreciated.

had to compress a wee bit 😿

This is my latest version of an editor that I've been creating for the Roland Super JX-10, although it will also work over midi to an MKS-70 with Vecoven V3 or V4.

The JX is running headless and basically I am sending sysex messages to the JX with a bunch of parameters for each patch. The editor stores the patches, tones and Arp patterns in 16 banks.

It will accept standard JX and mks sysex dumps to overwrite the current bank.

Still some work to do but at least it sounds right now.
