I will not dwell on the technical data. Just about what I think is important.

The sequencer is very intuitive, is an old school groove, and that's a definite plus to make small jams on the job, and eventually find real good ideas, often by mistake. A big advantage not insignificant ... rather than a defect, as some suggest, I think the sequencer of JX3P is a bonus.

The LFO triggered a bit strange because it must remain press it ... (it can be permanently via the most advanced settings) .. may be a fault on my own? I do not think so. So it forces to intervene in the crucial moments in gaming sequences: musical.

I have not yet PG200, but the machine is extremely easy to program without. The module is a plus for a more "hands on" approach, but someone who does not have it (as is my case now, I will have soon) some widely escape.

I have not tried the noon, but I expect rudimentary: it is the first genration, normal that it makes the essential, and that's not bad.

The keyboard is relatively lightweight, very well built, and I understood without flaws post podruction (follow my eyes ... Juno 1..6)

USE

Very simple, very intuitive, very effective (even without the PG200, except for the uninitiated synthesis .. but everyone's been there. The crash test)

The manual? useful for capturing quick sequencer for hidden functions (overdub, erasing not), and why not delirium on audio cassette. I do prendspas my head with that. It is a percussion instrument.

SOUNDS

Big Thread ...

Is it better or worse than the Juno 106? Does it look like the Jupiter 8 (some argue that exceeds certain points, including tablecloths), is that it is a pure analog or hybrid blabala bli blalabala ..

To me it sounds very good. A strong character, very analog smoothly .. It can do wonders for everlasting and space tablecloths, very good electro-grooves sequences, electric keyboards drooling (presets are mostly very good ... I frankly say 50/50).

The filter is juicy, not from actually self oscillation, but in some cases there happens to be pushed a little synthesis into a corner.
Envelopes are excellent for my taste, let turn a sequence and tamper with the ADSR ... it responds very well live ... I guess that with a good rhythm that must groover severe (I have not tried).

Compared to the Juno 106? I have one ... these are 2 different synths, sometimes approach some textures but they are not really on the same table. Juno far down in the infra, the JX is unable (well, it can go down very deep, but it is not comparable)

Some say he put a Jupiter 8 in closet in some areas ...? I say vice versa, and frankly I'm in motion

NOTICE GLOBAL

Easy to use, ultra-musical, very intuitive, cheap, good-looking, reliable, big personality, and analog / hybrid with all the respective advantages.

Ché not me, why not use it?

NB: I do not know if it is possible to evaluate the filter to self oscillation because I do not think it is possible to cut the total COD. It's one or the other or both mixable for the purists ... then I have to say heresy. But it seems that the filter reaches frequencies of "audible".

All this is only my conversation with Jx .. haha
