The JP-8000 Music Synthesizer has been designed using a first-of-its-kind Roland Analog Modeling sound source, combining the fat, powerful sounds associated with vintage analog synths with the flexibility of digital technology and MIDI. Like the classic Roland analog synths of the past, the JP-8000 sports a collection of 38 front-panel knobs and sliders for powerful real-time control, opening a brand new world of sonic possibilities. Innovative "Motion Control" feature memorizes all sequential slider and knob movements, ensuring that a great real-time "tweak" will not be lost. "Analog" synth functions like oscillator sync, ring modulation, -12/-24 dB filtering, cross modulation, an assignable ribbon controller and powerful pitch bend/modulation lever make the JP-8000 a very powerful synthesizer for live and studio use!

The JP-8000 is excellent for use in any music where classic synth sounds are needed. For techno, dance, drum&bass, hiphop, film scoring, synth pop and more! It is used by the Crystal Method, BT, Orbital, Ken Ishii, Vince Clarke, Goldie, Dave Holmes, Prodigy, Groove Armada, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, ATB, Überzone, Faithless, Gary Numan, Ferry Corsten, Scooter, Konflict, William Ørbit, Paul Van Dyk and Garbage.

One of the best sounding synthesizers of al times(+JP8080),this synth does it al when you are a advanced programmer:al the classic synth sounds and also the sounds of today and even of tomorrow are in this machine!
Highly recommended,very tweakable and wanted,very versetile instrument,it really deserves the "JP" name!

Of course, the Doctor would use his screwdriver to give it polyphonic aftertouch. And 24 voices. Then, it will be perfect.

I just realized why I find the JP-8000 so attractive. It's the same color and shape as the TARDIS. No doubt about it, this is the synthesizer the Doctor would noodle around with when he needs to express his inner child, communicate with melodic aliens, or while away the time while trying to break of a hysteresis loop. OK, all arguments are down. I have to have a JP-8000, even if I already have a V-Synth GT. I don't care if the JP-8080 is marginally better. This is a synthesizer worthy of a Time Lord.

A fun board to be sure. Things can get wild when you play in "Perf" mode, whereby 2 patches can be easily layered AND tweaked. Lots of MIDI sync options, which are available at the "patch" level, so when layered.....lookout!

Yes, polyphony is tight, but it's a great addition to any synth arsenal nonetheless. I used it for pads on a classical album "Dreams from Pianoland".
