I have to correct prior notice.
jupiter 8 is the 8-channel polyphonic (no jokes ..) and multitimbral (2 stamps ..) it seems that only had two engines CS80 synthetic individual
So revolutionary because it can maintain a low and a lead or an arpeggio and ground can be 2 splitter sounds on the keyboard and edit independently very very easily click on upper or lower and it publishes the selected sound ..
sonically speaking the 'touch' of JP8 is to play two sounds stacked (dual mode), sound can be used to attack and sustain each other or can be stacked 4 osc, 4 6 envelloppes filters (LPF 24; lpf12 hpf and 12 non-resonant), the sync, with the pulse, 2 LFO, modulation of the cross, the polarity of the envelopes (assignable Pitch CSO ....) yum, yum, there's plenty to do ..
the synth has a relatively low level of output but the sound can come out in another, on 2 XLR symmetrized, this is very pro
some is a harbor dcb roland, on the other not, the disputes over the sound of two version of the processor (12 bits puis14) are sterile.

UTILIZATION

Electronic still installs a bone end (5.1) MIDI IN and OUT (sysex) double the memory 128 has saved preset, everything is configurable and it is possible to control opening and closing the filter through noon, sync, LFO and arpeggiator. ... when the kit is installed, the machine becomes formidable because more modern in its use.
edition of the sound is both simple and complex: everything is clear and effective, but this synth makes a lot of things, it goes without saying that it comes into its dual mode, when two bunk stamps there is a consistent depth of programing ..
otherwise everything works great, a flat filter for whistling but oscillates prefe ... not okay because it sounds hell of the synth and proposes ways to create miles fx.

SOUNDS

The sound of the roland jupiter8 is very special: it's a very broad and deep, seldom drive, he completed a magnificent five prophet in this sense, it's just a galactic see fluid, it seems that the sound is treaty ... it is actually very pure, very thick.
JP8 comes the sound of a mix, even loaded, like butter, it is not weakening, it gives a great depth has the overall
0:10 sorry but nothing to do with jp8000 ... which sound very processed and curls up very quickly in a raccornit mixl ...
jupiter8 the sound is massive and does not move
the color of the sound is unique, very colorful, very hot, is the essence of the roland for me ..
on the other hand I can not hear the tb in this synth, and 101 sh either, these synths are more aggressive in their report the resonance, and are very cheap osc a side (the JP8 has 100% discrete oscillators) and they don 't possess an unfortunate integrated circuit ..
the sound is not the same caliber even if the tb and sh, (although very limited) is a sound all their own.
the sound of jupiter8 is not acid or plastic, I find, again, Galactic and wet ..

OVERALL OPINION

At the pinnacle of a polyphonic prophet5 (v, preferably 2), MemoryMoog, CS80, sem.
attention, its very distinctive and recognizable.
a classic
a refined and subtle synth
... Very very far from the plug.
