The keyboard is noisy.
UTILIZATION
Editing is simple, but limited, despite all the obvious settings.
The effects are good but difficult to measure.
SOUNDS
I liked the sounds of this synth, close to analog.
But once an analog home, the JD-8OO took a slap and did I never called, as I sold.
The sounds are actually cold, and from ground classes is really quite difficult to get good sound in a mix (GEM S3 is even better).
Anyway, it all depends on what you do like music ... (Me is progressive rock, pop-rock ...)
OVERALL OPINION
Used for 2 years and then sold because I'm tired.
It is not very stable over time because of the wide range of settings (the knobs and faders do not age well, and it ends up moving on its own).
I tried other models, the D-50, JX-10, D-20, D-110, also Korg 01W, the DSS-1, Gem S3 ... The JD800 is the only one who eventually get tired.
Furthermore it will explain why people think that this synth is still 600/700 euros today, I do not understand because this machine is nothing extraordinary, but this is only my opinion.
