Selling a Roland JP-8000 keyboard that is in excellent condition. Had two owners and has been used in the home studio only. Comes with Owners Manual and Original box. This synth has been taken care of and has little wear on it. Buttons, faders and knobs all work like new. Awesome sounding classic synth. Comes with Original Presets +7Skies Presets +Latest OS installed. Quote from Vintagesynth.com : The JP-8000 was seen at the time as the modern incarnation of the classic Jupiter-8, from 1981. The JP-8000 sought to reproduce the warm tonalities and sheer analog power of its older, bigger brother, of course with a modern slant, adding all kinds of features, from motion control, to RPS, to the fabled Super Saw oscillators. Listen to the 7skies presets if you want an idea of what this synth can do!
The inclusion of old-school controllers such as arpeggiator and ribbon are very, very welcome. The Super Saw in particular was the reason why the 8000 was particularly successful as a main keyboard (along with the Virus) in the dance market, especially for Trance. Just like the TB-303 had done for Acid Techno, the JP-8000's Super Saw leads were characteristic of a certain type of Trance that can be roughly called "Anthem Trance", where a melodic but incredibly powerful lead based on a Super Saw patch provided the hook and melody throughout the song. Of course, it would be very wrong to limit the appeal of this synth to the Super Saw (7 sawtooth waves slightly detuned and combined) innovation: the JP-8000 is a fantastic, all round performer, capable of a myriad of beautiful, innovative and powerful sounds. The control panel layout is logically distributed, and it's easy to access all the parameters of the synth. It can be successfully used not only for electronica, but also for pop/rock, ambient, and thanks to its ease of use and immediacy, it's a godsend to create complex sound fx for movie score/documentary work. On-board effects include high quality eq, chorus, and delay. http://www.standalone-music.com/?page_id=304 More Audio Demo's (demonstrations of each original preset) and Information can be found here: http://synthmania.com/jp-8000.htm Please contact me for quotes on freight costs, pick-up also available :) |
