Roland JX-3P versus System 8 JX-3P Plug-out Updated 2024 @MIDERA

Uploaded June 2024 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

So, I previously made a video of the JX-3P v S8 plug out JX-3P a few years ago (here: youtu.be/UTfzIiKZw1A). I had noticed how much darker the JX3P Plug out sounded and how PWM was awful. Roland updated the JX-3P plug out (in 2022 or 2023? I don't know) and it fixed a lot of these issues. I noticed a few minor differences, but I'll be honest, they felt nit-picky. I think they almost completely nailed the sound. Filter differences seemed the biggest.

Listening again - I think I used the wrong note to compare filter differences, sigh... I can just never get these comparisons spot on. Ah well.

I try to go over some other features as well, but don't expect some amazing comparison here, because you won't find it.

$DSI Poly Evolver sequencer soundscape with Fractal Audio FM3 for FX Yesterday was a good day. Just one of those memorable days that Ill cherish, with some things that I cant talk about, but other things that I can. I played some games with my youngest daughter while my wife picked up our older kid from school. When she came home, she asked me to pull out a loose tooth. I did - blood everywhere. The joy on her face when it came out, and the follow up pain and tears and Wow this is different was just exciting to watch. She is growing up and I love being such an integral part of that. It makes me so happy. Then, the three of us played board games for another hour or two while it rained outside. Honestly, there could not have been a better day. Oh yeah, and I bought Silksong and started playing that. #fractalaudiofm3 #dsi #polyevolver$

It’s funny because it would seem like a “success” so to speak… but it’s not so different than when I only had 100 subscribers or 500, or 5,000. Truthfully, I guess the successes I have are raising my kids, it’s the time I truly feel like “I made it.” My career doesn’t feel so successful either. But I do enjoy the stuff I do here, and I suppose doing it has allowed me to write at least 21 albums worth of electronic music, which in itself is a feat I suppose. Success just doesn’t seem to be an endpoint. You can look at someone who seems successful, and they can be moments from catastrophe, either self-inflicted or otherwise, or they don’t view their lives as successful at all. It’s like success is that pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. You think it’s there and all you have to do is catch up with it, but you really won’t ever see it, because there is no pot of gold. Some of the most miserable, hateful people I know… have lots of the stuff. I guess I am learning something in this world: that money and success won’t be there to make me happy. But I feel real joy around my family, and some joy around things I achieve, but it’s pretty clear that there will never be a thing that I do that tells me that I was or will be successful. And that’s good enough for me. Roland Jupiter 6 #rolandjupiter Rhodes piano #rhodespiano Fractal Audio FM3 #fractalaudiofm3$

$Along the way | Sequential Prophet VS and Rhodes Piano improvisation I dont know what I was thinking. At the time, I liked how the Prophet sounded, so I recorded this. But it’s not very good. Fractal Audio FM3 used for FX. #prophetvs #rhodespiano #fractalaudiofm3$
