Ah Yes, the famous patch. this would have to be the one preset that i 
have used the most out of all the roland presets. it is a continual 
starting point for pads, with the help of the pg300, i can whip up 
new textures faster than can i write a sentence. to give it a little 
more sparkle, i recommend a little distortion followed by phase 
shifting and delay (analog of course). 

another trick of mine is to use the MAQ to get ethereal pad movements.
here is the recipe.

1)use the same midi channel for all 3 rows into the jx8p
2)set the 3rd row to 15steps
3)set the prescale/time to a division lower than the midiclock to get 
whole notes
4)set the note clusters you want
5)add a little delay to jx (preferably tempo synched to a different 
division)

the third row creates a different set of polyrhythmic clusters every 
16 notes or you can have row 3 going in random mode. there are many 
possibilities you can have, just try different combinations.

that said, you can use the above method with 3 separate A100 voices 
as well. 

damn, i just turned on my JX8p. :)

thanks for bringing it up, it has been a while since i have used it.
