The JV-1080 isn't central to the music I do. It's more for the times I want a certain realistic sound - strings, pianos, mellotrons, Rhodes etc. [in fact, it gives me a good reason to sell my real Rhodes that I don't use so much.] I know this can be done with samples in software, but I like running the 1080 through external effects, EQs and preamps and whatnot before going into the computer.
I think it's got some stock Roland-type drum sounds too - 808, 909 etc. - which is convenient when I want to run them through external effects or a preamp or whatever.
Not that I've actually done that yet.
Yeah I have one that I bought recently. It has a couple extra cards installed. Good for bread and butter "realistic" sounds occasionally. I haven't dug too deep into it, but I've messed with some effects and things. It has the potential to be deep if you're willing to menu dive.
Don't forget his Depeche Mode royalties too.
Must've been a real drag getting paid to hang out and record an album in Martin Gore's Santa Barbara estate full of vintage synths.
I was a metalhead for the first half and a hardcore/punk kid the second half. This was '88-'91.
I tested out before my senior year thank god. High School for the most part was shit.
