Very good analog synth with poly MIDI keyboard original and dynamic. It is absolutely not the rack Jupiter8 as is sometimes read. This is another synth, powerful, rich in possibilities and with a real personality.
It should be noted that there are two versions of MKS80: the rev4 and rev5 and 2 do not sound like ...

- REV 5:
Compared with the rev 4, 5 MKS rev sounds more like MKS70/JX10, meaning that its skins are slower than the 4 rev. Texture "thick" as the rev 4 and therefore ideal for pads and strings in general and especially Roland. VCOs "softer" than the 4 rev.

- REV 4:
The rev 4 has envelloppes faster, more biting and filter sounds more SH101 and JUP 6. More likely to tekno.

MKS-vs JUP8
MKS = keyboard so dynamic game more lively and expressive possibility that the JUP 8, better MIDI implementation (original), more possibilities in terms of creation / research.

UTILIZATION

Interest has with its 80 MPG Program for online access to parameters.
