  • Elektron Digitone mk1 Demo

    Multitracked demo of Elektron Digitone mk1. Only tweaked presets and internal fx used. I didn’t use internal sequencer, so everything is played straight to the DAW with MIDI-keyboard. It sounded great, I would buy one some day. Demo at Bandcamp.

  • Roland JX-08 Boutique Demo

    Multitracked demo of Roland JX-08 Boutique. Only factory patches and internal fx used for this one. I was pretty amazed how nice good it sounded. It was mixture of JX-8p and JX-10. Extra polyphony was nice too. I owned JX-8p about 25 years ago and since I didn’t have great effects and enough space for keyboards I didn’t use it in any track. Also I had to sell it pretty quickly. This was interesting test.

  • Korg KingKORG Demo

    Multitracked demo of Korg KingKORG. I used only factory presets and fx for this. I was curious what this can do after owning Korg Radias which was pretty interesting synth. I was actually surprised how nice it sounded and interface was good. I had it only moment so didn’t dig deep. Tube was nice and also filters were good.

  • Roland JX-03 Boutique Demo

    Multitracked demo of Roland JX-03 Boutique synth. I have newer owned JX-3p but always wanted one. Nowadays I don’t have space for it. JX-03 sounds good, but can’t compare it to original. Sadly the polyphony is only 4 voices. Some external fx added for this demo.

  • Roland SR-JV80-07 Super Sound Set Demo

    Multitracked demo of Super Sound Set -expansion. Some external fx added. It was installed to Roland JV-2080.

  • Kawai K5000R Demo

    Multitracked demo of K5000R. Some external fx added. I have owned all the K5000-series. Because of formfactory rack suits for me the best. It’s really special synth to add some different tones to the tracks.

  • Clavia Nord Rack 2 Demo

    Multitracked demo of Nord Rack 2. Some external fx added. I have owned lot’s of Clavias and they have great interfaces, one of the favourites.

  • Doepfer Dark Energy mk1 Demo

    Multitracked demo of Dark Energy mk1, mostly single tracks. Some external fx added. I have been eyeing these for long time I bought it when I got good deal. Only mk1 was interesting due the filter. It’s amazing sounding box with only one osc. Sounds beefy. Since I have good amount of monos, so I let it go.

  • Novation Circuit Demo

    Multitracked demo of Novation Circuit. Only tweaked factory patches and internal fx was used. I have used Novation synths since late 90’s so it was interesting to hear what cheap box can do. Synth engine was surprisingly good sounding but interface wasn’t for me. I like to edit everything from the synth.
