Music isn't just music, it's an expression of the self...

Holy shit at 1:55 is probably the most beautiful pluck i have ever heard

Love the way this board sounds

Wow, that's so a great Synthesizer. I love it😍😍

Roooo qu'est ce que c'est beau Thank you for the nice demo!!!!

Nah crazy, i love this type of sounds.. ✨❤️

SY 5th Ambipluck @ 2‘00 is to die for.

System 8 is a modern classic!!!!!

i could cry , it sound so beautiful. i want one. :(

Best demo on this synth anywhere. I couldn' hear a decent bass or lead on other demos. Thanks !

NICE JOB!!sound so nice like a ob matrix 6)

Anyone who bitches that this isn't true analog or just another VA and doesn't sound like a real Jupiter-8 really misses the point. To the best of my knowledge, the only other digital synth on the market that achieves a higher of level of fidelity in the processing is the John Bowen Solaris, at $4k. Granted, Solaris will do more, of course. But there's so much processing power in the System-8, you're going to get fantastic sounds out of it that are dramatic, and clear. If you need true analog, buy a JD-XA, no it's not a Jupiter-8 either, but it is true analog. Or buy a Prophet-6, Modal 008, etc. I've played a Jupiter-8, and agree it's not a true Jupiter. If you must have the exact sound of a Jupiter-8, then save up, find a Jupiter-8, and buy it. But I think it's a waste to complain about this great sounding synth for being what it's not.

0:20 2:59 3:43 6:28 Pretty much why I love synth.

ooh damn those ice keys!

Very nice sound , like !

macchina davvero versatile!

Thanks for a great demo. I was on the fence regarding the purchase. The Lab4Music Sipario Advanced Midi Router at the upper left is a great piece also.

1:52 Just beautiful

The Juno X video made me want to hear the system 8 again. Thank you! Take care Sam

Love this channel 👌👌👌👍

Since people are asking elsewhere, no, the new Zen engine on the Jupiters does not have the same amount of processing power as the ACB under the hood here. This synth isn't without it's shortcomings, lack of aftertouch, in ability to store performance edits, doesn't come with a full library, but there are very few synths, including the Jupiter X and JD Xa (though it does have some analog circuitry) that excel at analog modeling as well as the System-8. This includes the Access Virus. You essentially have to look to something like the Bowen Solaris to find this much processing power to achieve VA precision.

Om 🎶 grande saund 🎹🎶🌟

@7:49 very nice sounding patch.

No talk are the best

That sounded ill!!!

I very much enjoy your videos. The breadth of synths that you have covered is nothing short of remarkable. Thank you for all of your footage, as it is truly priceless. What level MacMini are you using. I can tell you are using Studio One for recording, but what are the specs on your MacMini. Thanks man, and keep up the great work.

Welcome to 1984!🎹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I was looking @ the jupiter x. I might have to RETHINK this.🤨🎶🎹👍🏾

No talking is perfect

5:46 This sounds like What a feeling! Please make a cover with that sound :)

Those aluminum side panels look awesome on the System 8! I see some on amazon, are those the ones you got? Great vid btw!

Use to own a Juno - these plugouts - "Juno 106" sounds are a bit better than they would be coming out of the actual Juno series keyboards. Curious though it may be !!!

Nice

No talk ♥️

I'm looking at Jupiter-X or System-8. The more I look at the System-8, the more I like it more than the Jupiter. Jupiter-X has the look of Jupiter-8, has tons of polyphony, sounds and effects but it's quite menu driven. It has 5 synths and 5 drum machines plus Pianos. Also you can stack the same synth 4 times meaning, stack 4 Jupiter-8's and still have 32 Voices. System-8 is basically a new JP-8000, however it has 2 Supersaws. It also has more Controls than the Jupiter, it only has 64 presets, however it's Per Plug-Out. Plug-Outs include teh Jupiter-8 and Juno 106 when bought. Plus, 8 Voices is enough. It lacks the Aftertouch but I said it's a New JP-8000. It doesn't have the Ribbon Controller but still. Sidenote: People are saying that the System-8 sounds Warmer than Jupiter-X, which is surprising. System-8 wins over in terms of balance between Sound, Price and Control.

dopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Used to have Roland stuff back in the 80's - this is the first one that's ever sounded really good - IMO.

Juno 106 part Is fantastic

anything has these sounds my ancient poly800 can do any of this , I think what comes after the preset is the relevant what can you bring out of it

I bought one of these last week.......wow! The system 8 engine is wonderful. The jupiter, juno and JX sounds are pretty cool too. The only thing I find lacking is a "normal" piano sound.

I've had a juno 106 for a few years and I couldn't feel anything different with the Juno 106 patches here. same feel. including the unpleasant chorus hiss, which I suppose could be turned off.

Is this able to do the “what the” hoover sound patch from the Juno-1 / Juno-2?

Does it have CV in and out.

5:29 what did you do to make it sound so good ?

But according to Roland jd xa, he is also autonomous , we don 't really like him either , we think which one to choose is the one and the one cool good ?

I'm not familiar with the plug out system. I have a JP8000 and I want to have something new. And I love the sounds you are pushing out of this synth. But what are you using at the top left corner to load settings into your synth? Do I need more than the synth alone?

Hi, very impressive. I wanted to ask you did you add a device on System 8, is it an extension for sound sampling?

So, whats the control on the up right ? And the sides ? Aluminum ??? If i buy it i will get it same as this one on the video ??? 🧐🤔

What's that thing you're changing presets on, and why are you using it? Can't you change directly on the synth?

Hi, so I hope I'm not asking too much but what is that piece on top left corner? I was going to upgrade to a system 8 just for more range over my system 1.

❤

Best sounding hardware VA for quite some time. I prefer the sound to Nord Lead and Virus. I guess you have to choose between the others having more polyphony and the Virus having many more options in terms of synthesis. The Virus is also a more stout keyboard. Don't even really care about the plugouts, they are nice, but the VA engine seems to he the star here.

What is the small box mounted on the upper left of the unit ??? Anyone please ?

I wonder how long it took author to get that good at piano keys .. and obviously also some theory or deeper understanding?

5:42 I felt like I heard that song before? IDK why but it sound do familiar. Let me know if it is a song.

5:29 what a beaut

it has so many knobs and tweakers, for just 1500€ its superb!

Gastar muito dinheiro pra ter mais do mesmo. Acho que a Yamaha tem feito um trabalho mais sólido neste sentido Inovação + Sons clássicos. A Roland a tempos está devendo um Synth top de linha condizente com o seu público espera.

Plz i need help before buying... which is better. The jupiter xm or system 8?

Are those 360 rotary knobs that set the parameter based on the patch? or is it alway like this, that when you touch it, then it "jumps" to the position it was in previously?.... I know, it's a bit difficult to explain.. @ 3:04 you turn the (cutoff?) knob, and the sound jumps.. so say, if previous patch had cutoff at zero, but the next one starts with it set to max, then it will be max up until you start turning the knob from zero and then it jumps to zero? I hope I make like any sense... :D

Are you ready to get signed ! SynthMaster Records !

Why do you keep playing with the cutoff filter? If changing the setting so often is important is there a way to attach a pedal top control it so you can keep both hands on the keyboard?

Olá meu amigo tudo bem , o que esta tela a esquerda no equipamento , e o display do aparelho ? Pois vi em outros tutoriais mais não a vi , pode me dizer o que e ??

What is the box on the top left of the synth? A preset box or something? I need it!

What’s the name of that device you used to change the preset

Brass 1984... Wery interesting at 2020... WERY.... Oh my God...

Is the System-8 still a good choice in 2024?

I didn't care for it. Each oscillator has an LED indication for "Variation," of which there were only 1 and 2 (a waste of a feature and LED display). I much prefer the Roland GAIA SH-01. Also, the System-8's effects weren't too good, even with the effect level at 100% the effect was not drastic enough (I wanted an intense phasing/flanging effect, but at 100% seemed like it was only at 75%). For this price, you could get the Roland Integra-7 sound module which has all the sounds of the System-8, as well as over 6,000 patches from gone by legends like the Jupiter, Juno, Fantom, etc.

What is that device in the top left corner of the synth??

So is a plug-out basically a VST running on a computer and played and controlled by the System-8?

what is this piece at around 2:58 starting? Pads sound really nice!

What’s the unit on the upper left called where you are changing the patches?

I wish I could afford it....

How much does one of these things cost?

does the presets work on Roland System-1m aswell?

Great but whats all the other devices that I see hooked up to it, and do those enhance the sound in any way, haaa not a good way to show off the Roland system 8

Why there is a general presence of distortion on so many sounds, especially pads? Or something is wrong with my speakers perhaps....

Is it possible to obtain a piano alike sound on this synth?

hello original factory presets no ?

sounds like streets of rage sega genisis video game

Can't you record straight into the DAW without the interface??

What's the device on the top left?

Can someone tell me if it can be used as a midi controller with ableton?

What's the little controller in top left corner?

Ripsquad

Deepmind or system 8, deepmind or system 8... or both? 🤔

Are these presets available for sale?

¿1500 for a Controller? ¿Fully-weighted keys?

@6:43 sold. p.s. subbed.

Which one is better the jd-xa or system

whats that device you are using to change presets?

Do these sounds come on board? I'm confused. What does "plug out" refer to?

What's the extra keyboard on the bottom for?

It sounds awesome. But it's a shame the polyphony cuts the notes off. I mean, I know that's genuinely like a Jupiter 8, but this is the 2020's. :)

Which interface r u using sir 😀😀

What is the touch screen add-on called?

Do they have an 88 key version. that would be so tits man I need one

Novation Ultranova x ever

Is it made of plastic or metal?

Beautiful. But something special happened in December 1997, the problem is you still don't have any idea :) so funny.
