Roland has made manuals for most of their products available as free PDF downloads.
This material is @ Roland Corp.
Note: All "Google Docs" links must be working. I can't assure the external Roland links are still active.

From www.bluesynths.com:
"We HAVE TO add this user manual to the literature list. It's simply a
great piece of synthesizer literature. Contains not only detailled
explanations, drawings and graphics about each part of the JD-800, but
also lots of background information (music theory, how to create
realistic string sounds, about using effects, etc). 200 pages."
Esiste una tabella MIDI implementation completa e ben più visibile? Grazie
ResponderExcluirSee also these links are at my blog, anyways:

Best regards
The Midi implementation is documented at the manuals.
ResponderExcluirI suggest also, you subscribe to the JD800 and JD990 tech groups.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JD-800_Tech
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Roland_JD-990
There are the very best groups and have many talented JD users.
I have not such time to keep up to date with all, because of lack of time.
There are lot´s of topics near about your project ideas and for sure you will be a great upgrade to the JD community.
Just hope you like that groups.
Regards
Ok thank you
ResponderExcluirJust saw a JD-800 manual that I've never seen before. Have you ever seen it? I'm looking for a digital copy. It's a red cover book that was published by Roland and titled: Roland JD-800 Programmable Synthesizer Up And Running Quick Start Manual
ResponderExcluirNEver saw that. Matrixsynth have a bit and I see it is a very interesting material, not just a simple quick start. There are somple pages shows too so we have an idea about.
ExcluirThanks for pointing that and for sure I take a time searching but nothing more was found.
If someone found it for share, please notify us.
