Older Roland Gear
Recently purchased an old JV-880 synth, which after a clean up and battery replacement is now in pretty nice nick and working perfectly but I’ve now also gone one better and now have a JV-1080 and wow, that is one fine beast of a synth and one that still stands the test of time, IMO.
I sort of missed out on these when they first came out, tho’ I did have a D5, as they were quite expensive at the time, but now for around 100ukp, well worth revisiting I think, and they both sound pretty good when using them with the System-1 arpeggiator and MX-1 effects.
