From the Roland Blog: “It’s a really interesting synth,” says A Guy Called Gerald, aka UK producer Gerald Rydel Simpson (also an early 808 State member). “It was more a string specialist,” he recalls. He tells us he tapped the synth for pad textures, “dynamic” string sounds, and “the most realistic synth guitar.” Gerald also reveals it’s behind the gorgeous strings on “Anything.” We might even hear a few other JD sounds on the breakbeat classic. 28 Gun Bad Boy, AGCG’s jungle crossover and proto-rave album is packed with JD-800.
