Note: This are 128kbps mp3 files, so I reduced the overall quality. I want upload better quality sound files, but have been short in time. Anyways, the sounds are great.

See the movies in the other posts. They have great samples of what great sounds this synth is capable.


Edited:


SynthMania posted a nice video with the the 64 classic factory patches! Thanks!

  2. For sure it is possible. Must require someone skilled in Assembler programming and reverse enginering.
    This is something all JD800 and JD990 users would love for sure.
    If you have such capabilities or know someone who may do it, be wellcome.
    You can go to the JD groups also:

  3. Thanks for the reply. Meanwhile, with a little effort, I completed my work on the JD-800. Some changes that saw the elimination of all the keyboard and some other small tweaks. I link the two videos that I made in Italian.
    Thanks and happy viewing:
