    I will not dwell on the technical data. Just about what I think is important.

    The sequencer is very intuitive, is an old school groove, and that's a definite plus to make small jams on the job, and eventually find real good ideas, often by mistake. A big advantage not insignificant ... rather than a defect, as some suggest, I think the sequencer of JX3P is a bonus.

    The LFO triggered a bit strange because it must remain press it ... (it can be permanently via the most advanced settings) .. may be a fault on my own? I do not think so. So it forces to intervene in the crucial moments in gaming sequences: musical.

    I have not yet PG200, but the machine is extremely easy to program without. The module is a plus for a more "hands on" approach, but someone who does not have it (as is my case now, I will have soon) some widely escape.

    I have not tried the noon, but I expect rudimentary: it is the first genration, normal that it makes the essential, and that's not bad.

    The keyboard is relatively lightweight, very well built, and I understood without flaws post podruction (follow my eyes ... Juno 1..6)

    USE

    Very simple, very intuitive, very effective (even without the PG200, except for the uninitiated synthesis .. but everyone's been there. The crash test)

    The manual? useful for capturing quick sequencer for hidden functions (overdub, erasing not), and why not delirium on audio cassette. I do prendspas my head with that. It is a percussion instrument.

    SOUNDS

    Big Thread ...

    Is it better or worse than the Juno 106? Does it look like the Jupiter 8 (some argue that exceeds certain points, including tablecloths), is that it is a pure analog or hybrid blabala bli blalabala ..

    To me it sounds very good. A strong character, very analog smoothly .. It can do wonders for everlasting and space tablecloths, very good electro-grooves sequences, electric keyboards drooling (presets are mostly very good ... I frankly say 50/50).

    The filter is juicy, not from actually self oscillation, but in some cases there happens to be pushed a little synthesis into a corner.
    Envelopes are excellent for my taste, let turn a sequence and tamper with the ADSR ... it responds very well live ... I guess that with a good rhythm that must groover severe (I have not tried).

    Compared to the Juno 106? I have one ... these are 2 different synths, sometimes approach some textures but they are not really on the same table. Juno far down in the infra, the JX is unable (well, it can go down very deep, but it is not comparable)

    Some say he put a Jupiter 8 in closet in some areas ...? I say vice versa, and frankly I'm in motion

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    Easy to use, ultra-musical, very intuitive, cheap, good-looking, reliable, big personality, and analog / hybrid with all the respective advantages.

    Ché not me, why not use it?

    NB: I do not know if it is possible to evaluate the filter to self oscillation because I do not think it is possible to cut the total COD. It's one or the other or both mixable for the purists ... then I have to say heresy. But it seems that the filter reaches frequencies of "audible".

    All this is only my conversation with Jx .. haha

    It's a synth with a lot of missing options (noon limited) etc. .. but I think underestimated because it has a genuine charm .. for those looking for sounds both fragile and ethereal deep, and wants to overcome some of the laptop (I speak in my personal case)
    For anyone who wants to make it hardtek grated ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    Basically a nice retro synth not too expensive ... not the best of the best (it says it does not topdutop that makes a good musician), but it has the merit of having a real personality ... I am still in the "discovery" of his sound and I'm frankly not disappointed .. It is not for the electro, it's not "funky" ... People who appreciate poetry tremors, tape drives and crackling wispy, adoption for a small fee (250 euros without the PG200) ... he deserves .. 10 small very subjective and assumed ..

    Hyper known!

    UTILIZATION

    Super easy!

    SOUNDS

    No effects
    enormous tablecloths! (All sheets!)

    OVERALL OPINION

    For those who know what they are buying there's no worry! this synth is really a personality. I am fortunate to have had the PG200, certainly it is not essential, but it remains useful for some research sound. To deliver large spatial environments well, while hot, or cold is really the ball is a great tool. The only thing I regret about this synth is that it is cut off from PG200 when it is in midi ... shame! anyway I put him 10 for the price because when I touched it (300 € with the PG) I regret nothing and I also enteral with me
