The 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.

A future classic I reckon. It does what it does well and no other VA synth comes close.

Lots of easy editing options and its idiosyncrasies are also its strengths.

More than just a hoover machine, but boy do those super saws hoover!

If you like your synths and you haven't got one, what are you waiting for? Get on Ebay and grab one of these babies before the prices rocket up!
