Vintage Synth Explorer

Roland • JP-8080

The new JP-8080 Analog Modeling Synthesizer Module offers an advanced Analog Modeling sound engine with 10-note polyphony, powerful External Audio Synthesis unlike anything on the market today, a unique built-in Voice Modulator, and Smartmedia storage capability--all in a cool, retro-styled 6U rack-mount module with tons of knobs and sliders for easy sound shaping.

Forty knobs and sliders for intuitive real-time sound creation and drastic sonic manipulation. Onboard Motion Control records all slider and knob movements for "hands-free" playback; all knob movements can be output via MIDI. The powerful onboard Voice Modulator allows external Mic/Vocal/Instrument input to be processed in real-time using one of three unique modes: Formant Filter, FilterBank, and Vocal Morph Control. Also features a good 12-band vocoder. It is used by BT, Ken Ishii, Faithless, and a.vanvranken.

A classic synth but a bit over rated these days. You do get that trance sound, a nice vocoder and that retro styled interface but it has several cons within its design. The synth only has to oscillators that produce an annoying click if the envelope times are set low, it sounds digital I'd like to have seen an option to analog it up a bit like on the A Station. You can't use the arp unless you use the remote midi in socket and the sound cuts out if you change patches whilst its playing so you have to allow for it.

The JP-8080 has a wonderful Vocoder. Do a little research before you post.

this is a synthesizer, not a vocoder / vocal modulator.

Hi i was wondering coz im a noob at this [beep]

do you just plug the mic straight into this and then the output into an amplifier? and just adjust how you want your voice to sound?

this also goes for the ms2000 and electrix warp factory vocoder mk2

email me coz im need one which you just plug in a mic then plug it out into an amp and just edit it
thanks!
