JP8000 vs 8080. what tells them apart?

I was just wondering what the 8080 has that the 8000 doent have!

Extra voices, a memory card slot and a vocoder. Aside from the obvious (keys), I think they are the only differences.

i love my jp8000

Mhmm... So the 8080 has a "sharper" sound than the 8000! And what do you use the MC slot for?

And what would be a good price on it!?

Thanks

Hehe..

i dont know the fundamental differences between the two but i can speak for the 8000 and i would highly recommend it. some of the sounds ive got out of it are spine chilling and as its hardware the continuous tweaking is so much fun.

i paid �400 around 596 euro. although the postage and packaging was about �50.

Dunno where you got that, more voices doesn't mean sharper if thats what your thinking. Also, 8080 has distortion i think, and 8000 doesnt.

The 8080 also has noise waveform in osc2.

8080 has unison.

Off the top of my head, I think Deceptikon is right.

I paid AU$500 for my JP-8080. Bargain

Wow...that IS a bargain! I paid AU$800 for mine!

Originally posted by dj_palm what do 8000 realy have if it doesnt got distortion, not unison, not vocoder and not noise waveform on osv 2? to me it sounds like the 8080 is worth twice the 8000.

Yea, but the are in the same price range! Well, i guess i will go with th 8080...

why do you need noise on both oscillators? if i use noise on osc one its just to fill the high end of the spectrum.

as i said i cant speak for the 8080 but the 8000 is better than any vst ive came across.

Here -
Things that the JP-8080 has but the JP-8000 lacks include:
-two more voices of polyphony (10 voices for two parts, 8 when using the vocoder).

-a distortion effect and a noise source for osc 2.

-includes a 12 band vocoder that can be used
to vocode two separate audio sources or one source plus the synth sound.

-You can input external audio to the synth and use it's effects, filter and
envelopes as well as ringmod to ttweak the sound.

-Further more, the vocoder can be turned into a resonant, 12 band EQ called filter
bank.

-Finally, there's the vocal morph mode which let's you control the
parameters that are control assigned by speaking into the mic (it detects
the level of a certain frequency component strong in the sound "aa" and generates control info based on that).

-The 8080 has got more memory: 128 user / 384 preset patches plus 64 user / 192 preset performances (in comparison to 128 user + 128 preset patches and 64 user and 64 preset performances).

-You can store your sounds to a SmartMedia card. However, be
warned, the 8080 accepts only 2 to 4 MB 5 V SmartMedia cards which are
practically impossible to track down these days (the largest sizes being
around a gigabyte).

-The 8080 is a bit easier to use due to to better organized and even more numerous front panel
controls.

Things in which the JP-8000 does better:

-A 49-key velocity sensitive keyboard

-No ribbon controller for easy control up an down modulation

Note:
The patches for both JP synths are at large quite compatible. Parameters that are only present in one of the synths are generaly cleanly ignored.


(thanks to a JP community on yahoo).

Thanks alot mate for all that info! Verry informative!

Cheers

ive a smart media card which make life so much easier, worth getting!
