Considering buying a JP-8000 and use it as the main controller in my setup. I've read that all the paramenters ar controllable over midi, and regarding that I have a few questions:
Is it possible to assign some of the parameters (like cutoff, attack etc) to vst instruments like reaktor, fm7, pro52, halion etc. ?
Is it possible to use the arpegiator this way as well ?
Any of you guys have experience with this synth ?
Is it worth buying for $600 ?
The indicated price says $1200 on vintagesynths.com
thx!

if the JP 8000 sends out controller knob movements, and those softsynths can react to those controllers, it should be possible to use the knobs of JP for softsynths yea

IMO it's really worth buying for $600 dollars, this is the synth that every uplifting trance producer wants. It's a legend and very known of it's superb fatty sounding SUPERSAW. Rare synth!
Im currently using the jp-8000 in my setup and i would have to recommend it 100%, the sheer array of sounds this thing can create is mind blowing, dont wait another minute m8, get it, u wont regret it

Hey Transa, you couldnt post up a couple of samples off the jp could ya??? Cos im going to buy a synth soon, either the jp or virus. I can hear the virus but not te jp.
I know rank -1 use it for the strings, but its a special arppegio noise im after. Do you know the new dj passion tune - pitch black on shogun?? im after the noise after the strings, do you know it?
I'm also considering buying the 8000. It's a bit cheaper than the virus, and that's all i have money for now. After summer vacation my buy will probably be a virus and some studio speakers (Mixing on pc speakers is really shite)
Try this, its a link to juno + the tune im talking about. Dont know if the bit is there as im at work so i cant hear it. But have a listen and ill check later. Ta!!!!
