  1. The #JX3P is the reason why I taught myself C again, because #MIDI #sysex hadn't been invented yet, so the only way to save/restore patch parameters was to dump to audio tape. SO I WROTE A PROGRAM TO DECODE THE TAPE DUMPS and create spreadsheets to feed back into the #Organix MIDI expander!

  3. The JX-3P is fully working again! Cleaning the rubber pads did the trick. I also replaced the electrolytic capacitors in the PSU while on it. It sounds really great with the two DCOs per voice which can be detuned. The programmer is really making a difference #roland #jx3p #repair #retro #synth

  4. Creating all new music for an upcoming Halloween performance. Here's my stab at a Carpenter-ish vibe with room for live additions...

  6. I got a programmer clone and some key replacements, next is to clean this filthy mess #Roland #JX3P #synthesizer #repair #analog

  7. Next distraction already got in: a #Roland #JX3P from 1983. It has a few non working keys but I guess this is just a matter of proper cleaning. Maybe I redo the PSU. Also thinking of getting a programmer clone which makes this synth much more versatile. #synthesizer #repair #analog

  8. As I finalize and test my updated studio, I'm running simple tests to explore routing and sonic options.

    The goal is for the computer to become a simple tape machine.

    Can I get decent sound in a live performance setting with minimal post-session mixing?

  10. Now that all the new (to me) gear is here and fully tested, it's time to prepare the studio...

    Maybe I'll give them some privacy to become more intimately aquatinted.

  12. For some reason I was just suddenly reminiscing about the first #synthesizer I ever got to play with in person. Scott Eddy, a friend of my uncle's (and mine as well but I was a lot younger than them, early to mid teens, I think) left his #Roland #JX3P along with the external #PG200 programmer at our house for us to play with for a bit. I was in awe. Like having some sci-fi gadget from NASA at my hands.

  13. Today's #Jamuary jam was full of technical difficulties and a faulty gain pot on one of my mixer channels 😭 I pushed through though...

    The track was based on notes from a single chord, which I picked up from a recent #AndrewHuang video:

    Db, F, Ab, Eb, G, Bb

    #Roland #Jupiter 6 - pad
    Roland #JX3P - arp/sequence
    #Korg #Volca Beats - drums
    Korg Volca Bass - bass
    Korg Volca Keys - fifth melody
    #Strymon BigSky - reverb
    Roland RE-201 - reverb/delay

  14. My fave #VintageSynthesizer: #Roland #JX3P

    Because of the two DCOs, sound quality and wonderful internal sequencer.

    My fave #NewSynthesizer: #Moog #One

    An absolute mad beast, the mod possibilities make it basically the equivalent of a modular. I get lost in it!

    What are yours?

    That was my BEAUTIFUL #Roland #JX3P which is still alive and I still love it. Such a slept-on synth.

    I pestered Cherry to do a version which you load the saved-to-tape sequences and patches onto. But no. 😢

    I would pay for a standalone JX-3P sequencer. As long as it had that timing. I wrote so many songs within those constraints.
