I own this, the Roland Jp-8000. I also have A Juno 60, Roland Hs-60, Moog Sonic 6 and Prodigy. I would have to say that I use the Jp-8000 more than most. This synth is very user friendly for even beginners and seasoned players. You can get to making your own patch and tones straight away. The presets are great to work off of straight away. And banking your sound is easy. I would recommend this over any of Rolands Analog or Virtual analogs any day to any one. From the WARMEST OF WARM TONES TO HIGHEST OF HIGH TONE... There is nothing you can not do with this gem. I would highly recommend having the users manual upon 1st greeting
There's a lot of hype over VA vs pure analog. I think the JP-8000 puts that to bed! This board truly captures the warmth and feel of vintage Roland analog IMHO. It's a solid build, far better than the current S-8, JD-XI or XA! It doesn't feel like a toy, but more of a road worthy pro kit. Grab one! You won't be disappointed!

This is an excellent synth,lots of great sounds and endless tweakability in real-time...But it cannot stand alone. You need another synth or a drum-machine. I already owned a JX 305,so them both together are well suited for any eletronica,Psychedelic,Trance,ambient or Hip hop-composing. I would advise you to buy another synth first,so you have some basics covered already. Then buy the JP8000 to add the cherry on the cake,as it truely is a cherry once you got all the basics covered by another synth... Nevertheless this is one man's opinion,but that's my advice. The JP8000 is after all a wonderful machine,one of it's kind. Namasté
Great sounds with easy editing. Wish it was 61 keys, but that is not a game changer.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to synthesis, the JP 8000 is an excellent synthesizer. It covers a broad range of tones, from silky soft pads to ear splitting leads and noises, it is a very capable machine. The ribbon adds depth to your expression and the feedback oscillator is a force to be reconded with. I highly recommend this very useful instrument.
