the digital virtual analog Roland JP-8000,… a monster of a synth with enough low end subby goodness to make you forget that its not analog :P

also dropping on ebay this sunday afternoon in the US,  sunday night in the EU.

The Roland JP8000 - made in 1996 but travelling back to 1980s courtesy of analogue modelling. Analogue purists will probably look the other way, however synth lovers that want great analogue sounds with the ability to tweak away using features found on many of Roland classic synths (Juno 106, SH101 etc) will love this 49 key blue metallic plastic box of fun.

It’s a great keyboard for live sessions and studio sessions. Live musicians can easily find their desired sounds by tweaking away at the vast array of oscillators, filters and effects – as was the case with all of Roland classic Juno and SH range. The only time you need to access the LCD backlight screen menu is when you want to select one of the 128 preset patches, or one of your own programmed sounds (up to 128). There are a range of bass, lead and “atmospheric” sounds. The leads sound sharp and bass sounds range between deep down, dirty and squelchy. In addition, there is also Midi In and Out, but strangely enough no Midi Thru

There are 2 main oscillators, each offering a range of waveforms (e.g saw, square, triangle etc). There is also a 4 stage ADSR. However my favourite effect is the chorus as it reminds me of the Juno 106 chorus sound. The JP also has an arp and it is easy to set up and use, but the only negative point is that there is no “tap” feature for you to sync up to beats.

Overall it is a great synth doing what it says on the tin “analogue modelling”. The JP8000 could be put in the same league as other analogue modelling synths such as Korg’s MS2000, Radias and R3. However, the JP8000 will not steal the Juno and the SH god-like legendary name status, but it will allow mere mortals to experience these sounds at an affordable price.
