Long and successful life To the Jupiter 80!



General Optimizations
--------------------------

2. Contrast option for the lcd to improve the vision (angle).
3. Synchro midi start stop (slave or master) to the song.
4. Chord memory for Enhancement the play experience.
5. Drums patterns phrase for the drumkits.
6. In the song mode for delete many songs, press "enter" can activate "ok" without need to touch the screen.
7. Possibility Of screen saver to import pictures usb stick
8. Smooth the response Of E1-E4 controllers

Synthesis & Effects Enhancements
-----------------------------------------
1. Osc Sync in Va section
2. Series Fx
3. More tweek options in Electric pianos similar to Arx,
dedicated Fx like trem/phase/chorus
4. Add overdrive as part of the Tw organ

Needs improvements? Am I missing something? You didn't list any.

[Polux]

yes it need some improvents, sorry i edited the message.

[Devnor]

Many of those things are workstation features. Aim higher:

Series FX
Osc Sync in VA section
More tweek options in Electric pianos similar to ARX, dedicated FX like trem/phase/chorus
Add overdrive as part of the TW organ
Smooth the response of E1-E4 controllers

Yes, yes and yes. On top of my wish list as well.

The following would be useful:

1. Tone-level performance.

2. Additional editing of Supernatural Acoustic Tones - either as performance options or in a separate host computer application

3. New Supernatural Acoustic Tones:

- Duduk
- Gong
- Orchestral Bass Drum
- Ensemble Strings

4. Additional Articulations on Supernatural Acoustic Orchestral Stringed instruments

5. Extended modulation and modulation routing on the Supernatural Synth

6. New Supernatural Synth Engine - Vintage String Machines (a model of RS202 or VP330 Strings)

6. Extended keyboard Aftertouch (especially of LFO modulation)

7. Software driven Aftertouch monitoring (as on the Arturia Origin) so that Aftertouch is only applied to the highest note - would be wonderful to be able to apply, say, vibrato to only the Solo part through Aftertouch and leave lower parts unchanged.


Overall, the Supernatural Acoustic Tones are a serious competitor to the extensive articulations achievable in top end sample packages. Hence, if Roland were to continue on this path, and complete such Supernatural Tones across the full orchestra and for extended articulations, and packaged this as a module; there'd be a whole new market for media composers.

It'd be also very useful to provide the JP80 with a basic sinngle-track MIDI recorder so that recorded performances could be exported to a DAW as MIDI data.

[MartyM]

Pitch modulation via aftertouch !! ( that was a stupid thing to omit )

MM

[Méka]

Direct recording MIDI data on the ARP memories with quantization options !

[Polux]

UP!

[doctorrock]

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

[RayS]

New registration .. A dirty bluesy vintage 60s HAMMOND B3 simulation!!

[ostrovitch]

More possible destinations for the aftertouch:

At least LFO's depth, LFO's speed, Pitch.

I absolutely love my J80 but I just gotta chime on the aftertouch issue in the hope that someone at Roland is lurking here. I just can't understand why after-touch is such an after-thought on this performance-oriented instrument. There's nothing more natural to me than bending pitch by pushing on the key. Its more or less what I do on a guitar. I do it all the time on my Fantom X7. And as a keyboard player my left hand is often doing something else so reaching for a lever or wheel is not possible.

It's very simple. Aftertouch is a continuous controller. It should be able to do anything that the D-Beam and control pedals can do - ALL of the CCs (minus patch and bank) and DEFINITELY pitch. You already have a menu page for setting up D-Beam and control pedals. You add aftertouch in there. It can't be that hard. Give me the source code and I'll do it :)

While your in there get rid of the bizarre choice for routing D-Beam and control pedals to aftertouch. Routing one controller to another (crippled) controller? What's that all about?

And if you really wanted to answer my dreams do the same for the mod stick - any CC. Much easier to grab the stick with the left hand than trying to grab some too-small knob in the middle of the keyboard. Then there's those sliders...

Getting carried away. Please, please please fix aftertouch.

Hey, just thinking. Does anyone know of a widget that converts midi CC to voltage? Then I could just take aftertouch midi messages and send to a control pedal input. Seems to be the one widget that midi solutions doesn't make.

Yes RayD, it's just what I'm thinking about aftertouch, my left hand too can't use so much a lever or a wheel to make vibrato, as it's too busy. At the same time Jupiter80 even could handle polyphonic aftertouch from another keyboard, (it's really great), so it's a no sense destinations are so poor. I wrote an email on roland site about this, but I got no answer. Maybe if many people ask, they would consider more.
I doubt Roland teams would read this forum.
