Hey fellas,
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! |

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 e:()
Peace |

| You can't really compare a jp to a virus... It's like comparing the first colour television ever made to our new plasma displays. |

Well you can if all you want to compare is sound only. Fortunatley thats what i want to do :)
If its got the sound i want, then ill get it:D |
