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.

This is the closest sounding VA ive ever owned, digital beast!! You've got the digi sound in this unit with all the anolog mayham, loads of imperfections. Learned to be carefull with this board, has all the potential to damage your speakers. Bought mine used at 450.00 canadian. Its the way roland approached this beast, has the suttle settings of a digital unit but also included are all the extreme's and warmth of an analog synth. I own alot of VA's and the JP-8080 is forshure the warmest and most unpredictable. Love it!

Love the filter and overall sound of the unit, great layout too!

Put this side by side with a Virus KB and you will ear the difference...

i wasnt really using my jp8080 and thought yep im going to put it up for grabs on ebay, and thought i should have a couple of goes again before it was mine no more.
holy awesome moses on fire, this thing is so thick as mud.
i dont know if this is a big deal for anyone else, but having bass and treble at your fingertips is pure genius
