6U rack, not too too deep, internal power supply, lots of buttons and switches, a curiosity two MIDI IN with a fairly specific use.

some voice polyphony and multi-timbral 2. within / EFX use a low-level control many useful and aspen, a vocoder and arpeggiator / RPS

it is especially well built, note that Rotary is all soft and fragile, the sliders a bit hard. keys usually deserve a small revision, but nothing serious

UTILIZATION

He was lying in a corner, and then I took some time >> it was a good surprise. Easy access to parameters, provided it is not as simple as it is described in the notice below. For comparison, a KS rack is much more user friendly.

edition is fast, I use a keypad for Remote control and MIDI Implementation is good, real good point.

SOUNDS

sounds are those expected, two oscilloscope, routing not flexible at all, but the JP is doing well, good presence and especially filters roland that I love.

there is glitch, but it also makes the sound of the machine, the strings are superb, reminiscent immediately to a techno remix barber william orbit at the end of 90. it is quite versatile, I managed to get good bass, punchy and well represented. but I admit that it sounds different from what I have, it has its own use. Some also sounds strangely remind me of Korg Wavestation, certain sounds E-MU.

this is not really a synth happening everywhere, not analog and it is not a ROMpler. it is a JP8080, easily recognizable bitter small familiarity with the machine

OVERALL OPINION

a beautiful machine with a fairly specific sound, flaws that make its quality and especially the famous supersaw for the icing on the cake. Its range of use is quite versatile, but fans of electronic music should be able to easily get good sounds.

I find it far enough to be analog francs (Me, I am getting a little tired of all these demos with these sounds are alike), machinery 90s will come back and in the lot, there will be a JP8080!

This is an ultra machinery used in production Eurodance / trance. it is quite powerful, it is true in the genre. Honestly, this is not my best synth, it lacks a bit of flexibility and overall tilt third ... but it does not stop to make her scream loud.

today buy JP8080 is debatable, however it is a great way to get something different. to consider a purchase but beware favorite ...
