Esta demo pertenece a la colección JM Analog Textures, una colección de 64 tonos (programas) que he creado para el sintetizador de software ZENOLOGY Pro (ZEN-Core) y para los sintetizadores de hardware Jupiter X/Xm y Fantom.
I sold it all. At some point way back around late April, I just felt like I never wanted to set eyes on a piece of gear again and I sold just about everything I owned. There's an empty A-frame keyboard stand, an empty Apex 3-tier keyboard stand, a mostly vacant 7U rack with a Roland 1U line mixer in it that the aux doesn't work. A KPR-77 and a DDD-5 hiding under a pile of stuff in the corner. And the HS-80 I chop shopped. Everything else, gone. I dunno what did it. Depression. Lack of motivation. Changing mindset. Laziness. Honestly, I hadn't touched anything really, at least seriously, in an "I'mma produce something" kind of way for well over a year. Just half-heartedly poked at stuff then turned it off after letting out a great big sigh. So it went.
Eight months later, after the death of my father, and a lot more heavy mental baggage type stuff, I found myself itching to make music again. The iPad an KORG Gadget wasn't cutting it. Don't get me wrong, I played a live set in Osaka two years ago using just that and it went off. I wanted something a bit more, I dunno, substantial? And with more synthesis power? So I bought an MC-707. Haven't really done much but scratch the surface and noodle around but I'm impressed with the Zen-core or whatever they're calling it. Glad to see the D-50 DNA is still there (four partial synthesis engine) and the Zenology plugin editor makes sound design a shit ton easier. So we'll see where that goes. I also had the itch for a vocoder, so....
Couldn't leave well enough alone, had to change out the LEDs before I even tried it out to see if it worked or not. That green theme Roland is going with gags me... Looks better in red. If I have half a mind I may attack the MC-707 but I dunno. The LEDs were the super tiny ones, 0603 size if I remember right. SMALL AS FUCK!
Had to use 303 eh? Heh. That's the one under the Robot pad. Literally smaller than the graphite tip on a pencil by half. DO NOT SNEEZE. But I have a tool which I may have talked about that made removing these a helluva lot easier, el-cheapo made in china hot tweezers!
Got these for around $50 or something off AliExpress, I think. Sometimes the ends don't meet up, so you have to open and close them again. Definitely not made in Japan quality, but nowhere near the price either. Ah well. Today I meant to bring liquid solder in a syringe, which makes soldering the LEDs on super easy but noooo like a dumbass I forgot, so it was back to the old slow way... put solder on the pads, tin the LEDs (NOT EASY!), heat one pad, slide the LED on (using tweezers), then hit the other side. Time consuming but it worked. Hmph.
Anyway. It hasn't been an easy year at all. I've seen better times. I've had better years. Trying to bring 2023 to an end on a brighter note. Hope you guys out there are doing well.

Demo/track made in Ableton. Using Ableton stock plugins, Surge XT, Equator2, Zenology, Loopmix, MRhythmyzer, Deviate and Splice. The track is inspired by µ-Ziq’s track Meinheld. Third recording, on two of the melody tracks I use Deviate as a plugin, so every time I record, the melody is a little bit different. Picture by Philomena Famulok

Roland Zenology Pro Review: Plugin With Zen-Core Hardware Synthesizer Power
Roland Zenology Pro Review: Plugin With Zen-Core Hardware Synthesizer Power
Zenology Pro is Roland’s new flagship synthesizer plug-in based on the same Zen core engine as the new hardware instruments Jupiter X / Xm, MC-707, MC-101, Fantom Series and more. It is exciting that you have the same features and sounds as in the hardware, only packed in a plugin.
In this video, I show you what the Zenology Pro plugin does, how it sounds, whether it is worth the money. I…
Whether visiting a relative, in combination with a hotel stay or having dinner with my stepson Brendan, visiting Martin’s roots in Amsterdam East, where he was born, grew up, and had school, an old neighborhood.
What works for me best is being happy and positive all the time all the time.

We visited cousin Remmo en Elly Tolsma in Kortenhoef as part of my therapy.
Using Zenology to make synth (and sound) patches for the mc101 has been working like a treat. Its really convenient in that sense, as well as massively powerful.
Separating the sound sculpting from music making. So many ways to make sounds as well. In some ways it is “enough” as a synth because you can make almost anything on it.
Saving up for the finalizing gear does not feel as distant with this.
Today @therolandcloud released the new JUPITER-8 Model Expansion for ZENOLOGY. The JUPITER-8 is one of the most revered polysynths of all time known for its signature warm pads, strings, and lead tones.
