.6 The 1985 synth-voice polyphony. 2 oscilloscope by voice, making a total of 12 oscilloscope.
Keyboard 61 notes, velocity and aftertouch sensitive.
Very good location south, for the time: IN / OUT / THRU.
Memory of 64 sounds, all editable! (Create your own sounds).

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple, sound editing is simple: on the keyboard you select the setting to edit, and you edit it with a fader, setting please? Go to the next parameter editing ...
I've never had a user manual, it is not necessary if you've played on analog and you know about the parameters that make up a sound (DCO, VCO, CUT OFF, RESONANCE, ATTACK, RELEASE, VCA ...)

SOUNDS

The sounds are not realistic, but it is not what is asked. It is a perfect synth for modern electronic music, or even the environment. For being polyphonic, it allows the achievement of very beautiful tablecloths, large and warm.
The sound is the highlight of this synth: the Anloga hot and alive.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had four, five years.

What I love most: beautiful tablecloths that can be created with, and that it is MIDI, which allows the use of "old sounds" with the controls today.

What I like least: The fact that the publication by several faders simultaneously is only possible with the PG800 controller, optional.

I have many other analog synths, and I used very often in this JX8P.
Given its current argus (around 300 Euros), I think he redeemed without hésitation.Je worth over 1500 Euros to its release in 1985!
Synth Ideal for those seeking a real good synth for cheap (make sure the fader EDIT function properly, I saw several JX8P or it stopped working.
