Roland JD-800 and JD-990
The Roland JD-800 is commenly accepted as one of the best digital synhts ever produced. It excells at lush atmospheric pads and timbres and has a warm analog-like filter. I’ts covered with knops and sliders like the old analog synths were, so it’s a joy to program unlike most other digital synths. The JD-990 was a rack version with some updated features and more sounds. The JD-990 Can be controlled by the JD-800. The JD-800 was produced in 1991 and the Jd-990 in 1993. They can only be bougth secondhand these days
The Jd-800 and JD-990 are used on many Antilles tracks as pads, soft chords and beautiful ambient sounds.
