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

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
