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
