Hi,

Thinking of getting a JD XA but need to know if the LFOs are polyphonic or not. This would be a bit of a deal breaker for me...

cheers

Doc

Aha! LFO rate set to 0! Yes, that works - of course you can't do that with analogue LFOs! Once again Dany, many thanks for your help.

Once again, thank you Dany for this. I'm not with my Jupiter at the moment so I can't try it but I'm guessing you can set the LFO to retrigger with every note? Assuming you can do that the problem is that if the LFO is running, even at the slowest speed, wouldn't that change the pitch DURING the not...

Thanks for your help Dany re the buttons. For some reason I missed this in the manual! With regard to the key pitch follow, that really is an terrible oversight on Roland's part. Not altogether surprising though, I feel the JP80's immense potential is hamstrung by some pretty ill-thought-out design/...

Hi Been searching the JP80 a while for the key pitch follow function a la JD800, JD990, XV5080 etc. Am I out of luck? If so could someone please advise on a method of re-creating the effect of this, ie vastly different scales/pitches for each tone in a liveset? Also any way of disabling the EXTREMEL...

vst/au capability. shouldn't be too hard to implement.

actually mate, there's f*** all you can do to get anything remotely approaching a decent hammond sound on the jupiter 80. don't even try. i've wasted days doing so and refuse to go there again! it's almost embarrassing how awful the leslie sim is on this - especially when compared to it's immediate ...

what evidence do you have for that? and what about the solo and percussion layers??

now try exactly the same thing with the perc and lower layers switched off.

I think you meant layers 1 & 2 of live set 1805. Your Jupiter is working as intended.

yes, that's exactly what i meant! thanks for correcting that mistake and i'm glad someone is following me through this crap!

I think this is a case of you trying to use a string sound in away that it isn't meat to be used that was my whole point bruce! i'm obviously not explaining myself very clearly - sorry, it's pretty confusing i know. to re-iterate, 1805 stringssect1 would be more useful as a string "pad" i...

3. I find it particularly hard to comprehend or reproduce a test which plays over 64 audible voices, and listens for 1 voice being stolen. Audibly, its impossible for me to make a qualified determination if I hear a voice being stolen or under what conditions it happened. of course ron! nobody - no...

ron, what you say in your last post about scripting makes perfect sense and undoubtedly what people are sometimes interpreting as note stealing is in actual fact roland's scripting algorithms just not being able to keep up with what they would be programmed to think of as "inappropriate" p...

thanks for your suggestions guys, but what i wanted to do was use the sound of the supernatural acoustic piano rather than an electric piano. i tried the adsr offset in the liveset layer menu but couldn't get it to work at all?? it seems as if there really is nothing you can do to alter the envelope...

i've spent the best part of the past hour trying and failing to come up with the sound of a piano with a slow attack - a "bowed" piano if you like. you'd think this would be pretty simple to achieve but i can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. help please!

I have never heard any note stealing on the JP80. I don't need to do any tests. It just doesn't happen to me. respectfully ron, i might suggest that you may hear the note stealing going on better if you bothered to take your head from the sand where it would appear to be firmly buried ;-) (although...
