hi every1..i just wanted to know your opinion on JP-8080.Does it really worth bying.is it good?is it only based on the superwave or it has many instruments?For those who use it what do you think of it? and most important...how expensive is it?

You can get it rather cheap on ebay - and yes, it's worth the money, if you'd like hands-on action with a real synth, and there's no REAL cometition to the sounds it makes still with all the great virtual instruments around. PM alanzo, or google for some samples/info, and you'll get sorted I'd guess. ;)

what would you pay if you lived in the netherlands (not planning to buy one btw, software is powerfull enough)??

cant go wrong with the Roland JP.. i say def. get the 8080 over the 8000 the small changes/upgrades are worthwhile if you dont need a keyboard.

i have a bank i sell you can get a good example of the sounds off it.

NICE SAMPLE rb2k1!!!Awsome recreations :) i can now see that jp really worths bying

IF you don't already own a keyboard controller, get a JP8000. Sounds exactly the same and has a keyboard attached.

Most of the sounds in the track in my sig where done with a JP8000.

Only sounds that weren't are the percs and piano.

yea but you dont get the vocoder on the jp8000! i just realised how fricking awesome the vocoder is on my virus b. i use my guitar through it and i can make it sound loopy. wooooooooh!
alanzo
Vocoders are a bitch to hookup unless you have an outside source feeding into it (a guitar for example).

Either that or your sound card has to have two stereo outputs.

what are the main differences between the jp8080 and the virus b? :(

You can't ask that kind of question. They are both unique synths. You should search for features and sound clips, and do a comparison of your own.

i was talking to a friend and he told me to try and pick up some old synths..n omatter what they are... its good to have some hardware and knobs to turn ;)

Seems like trance producers can only choose between a jp 8000 and a 8080 :conf: I had to choose some years ago between waldorf micro q and jp and glad I chose waldorf. Except the supersaw it's capable of a far wider range of sounds than the jp. Jp has more dedicated knobs tho. Glad I can sound other than the rest.
