JD-800 Vs JP-80X0

Hey!

I'm thinking of buying a synth.
I found a JP-8000 and a JD-800 but I'm not sure which one to buy. They both cost around 550$ each.

Any suggestions?

I can't help you decide between the two, but you might want to check out http://www.harmony-central.com (if you haven't already) and read reviews there.

If you are looking for other synths in that range, you might check out the Access Virus A, Korg MS2000, Roland Juno 106, Roland JX-8P w/ PG-800, and I'm sure others can recommend more.

Will check em out rightaway!

I only know the jp8000 so i suggest you that....also because many producer use it ...like ferry airwave push etc etc ...
You shuold try them beforew buying one of those machine and see the one that is better for you .....550$ are always 550$

See ya

Yeah! I think I'm gonna go with a JP-8000.
Been listening to some demos from it and they sound awsome!

KLICK FOR DEMOS

LateR!

The JP-8000 is an excellent synth. Lots and lots of trance producers out there use it, and what I've heard from it is amazing
Personally I only get negative thoughts when hearing about it though. The thing is, I got completely assfucked on ebay because of one. I actually paid over $750, and it never arrived. Still pisses me off beyond belief to this day

Peace

I didn't get anything back, and there were actually two uf us that got scammed. We reported it to the fbi site for internet fraud, but I haven't heard anything from them yet. I guess they're my last hope

I think ebay can be an ok place to do buisiness as long as you take extreme precautions, something I guess I didn't.

Peace

jp8000 everytime mate....theyre wicked. much better buy than a jd800 imho

Posted by El~ZaPo on Jan-13-2003 21:42:

Stick with Fruityloops! You've gotten this far with it already.

Posted by robstar on Jan-13-2003 22:13:

FatBoy: Again, I'm sorry to hear that. Shit...That's alot of money. :/

Heh...Yeah but I'm soooo sick and tired of working with softsynths.
I hate em!! lol!
I want a real synth. And I think it will boost my creativity.
But I'm still gonna work with Fruity!
Hopefully the new Fruity program will suport Audio Recording.

ThX for the replys guys! I'm gettin a JP!

LateR!|Z!

Posted by Fatboy on Jan-13-2003 22:22:

That's an excellent choice I agree that audio recording would be very useful when using a hardware synth and with the pace that those fruity guys have worked in the past I wouldn't be surprised if that came up in the near future.

Posted by robstar on Jan-13-2003 22:32:

Yup! It would save me alot of time if they did.
If u'r interested u can read more about "Fruity Studio 4"

the virus rack is a great bit o kit for the cash....i posted the audio demo in exploration of sound...check it out....its got more bang for you buck than either of the two you mentioned

Posted by robstar on Jan-14-2003 00:17:

Yeah, but it's too expensive... :/

I have this lil list of synths I'm gonna buy:

1. JP-8000/8080
2. Korg Triton (+ EXB-PCM09)
3. Virus KC

So I will get a Virus, but just not yet!

Posted by brash on Jan-14-2003 00:53:

If/when I get a Virus I am most certainly getting one of the ones with all the dials and stuff. No way I'd go with a rack version... Hands on is the way to go. Just my opinion, though.

Robstar, you may want to look at some Novations and/or Nords, too, before you finish that list...

Posted by robstar on Jan-14-2003 01:02:

Hehe yeh, I've been checking out The Supernova...I might add that one to my list too.
Not to fond of the Nord Lead synths ...Tho I've Only tried The First one in the Nord Series .

Posted by Fatboy on Jan-14-2003 01:13:

I heard that Novation will release a softsynth based on the Supernova engine. With some external knobs that could be mighty wicked. I love the knobs and hands on approach of hardware, but the routing/menues and so on is much more managable on softsynths imho. Stuff like handling patches and distributing external effects and outputs is also something I prefer in the software versions. I really wanna try some of the Walfdorf synths to. I have heard very good things about them Some of them are bloody expensive though

Peace

Can't wait to hear what you get out of the JP Rob

you should also give the k-station rack a try
http://www.novationonline.co.uk/nov...ksrack_over.htm

Posted by Fatboy on Jan-14-2003 01:18:

The K-Station is sweet. Me wants I think all producers suffer from the desire to buy every synth made They're sexy, but so expensive

Hahahaha, ain't that the truth!

Posted by Vizay on Jan-14-2003 10:56:

robstar if your'e going for 80x0 i sugest that you pick the rack-model (8080) since it's cheaper and has a few extra features that the 8000 lacks

Posted by robstar on Jan-14-2003 14:56:

Yeah, but I want the keyboard version. And the Jp I*m thinking of buying is cheaper then Rack versions I've seen for sale.
So I'm gonna go with the KB ver.
But It would be cool to have the rack ver, since it has got a vocoder and stuff.

Posted by Vizay on Jan-14-2003 15:03:

why keyboardversion....if your'e moving to hardware you will want to go with a masterkeyboard in the end anyway...simpler that way

anyway I forgot to mention....Rank 1 uses the jp synth very often 2 and it's defenetly gonna be my first hw synth
