Is this worth even buying?

lol..i was looking around on ebay...i dont know if anyone else came up with this but i found this
http://cgi.ebay.com/Roland-JP-8000-...1QQcmdZViewItem
apparently..it's a JP emulator..im trying out the demo right now...feels wierd imo. Just letting other people know ..and any insight from real JP owners.*lol please dont bomb me with theres no VST that can create that JP supersaw blah n blah*

Wow, that looks bad... and old ... Just get yourself Superwave P8, it's free

lol yeah i tested the demo out..and i laughed so hard due to it's poor sound.

Omg, that sounded shit
How can anyone claim money for that???

that is the worst piece of software I have ever seen

Intresting...

One of the recent ebay auctions was won by a famous trance producer called Alex Bartlett (real name fabio) for �45. See here

The only downside to that is you need an expensive program to run it. ie REAKTOR.

lol yeah..with reaktor costing around 300-400..might as well try to just get a real JP.

You can't really compare it that way, there's a massive library free synths out there for reaktor.

Hm..yeah thats true...my bad

the sounds you'll get out of a JP sounds always a bit dated now. reaktor has much more possibilities to design new inovativ sounds. i would get reaktor over a real JP. (anyway, i've both of them in my studio)

The JP-8000 is basicaly Roland's attempt to copy their Jupiter 8 with a couple of extra functional bells & whistles, though super saw changed a huge part of what it was about.

Personally I think the JP8080 is a poor imitation of a Jupiter 8 (or MKS-80), but it's cool in its own right.

I agree that Reaktor is much more versatile, but to date it still can't do a perfect recreation of the JP8080, but RB2k1's ensemble will get you pretty close.

As for that plugin on ebay, like all synths it will have at least one sound it does really well that's unique to it(Paraphrasing Eric Perseng), but accurate supersaw isn't one of them..

well, you can do supersaws with reaktor. they sound different but i wouldn't say that the one on the JP is better, imho i like the reaktor supersaw a bit more as it doesn't sound as digital as the one on the JP.

Ross Jp emu kicks arse. Sounds even better with some decent patches in it.

Know where I can get any from Cyrus?

Kind of what I was saying. It's not the same.. :-)

YMMV
