Roland JP-8

[DIGITAL SCREAMS]

Since Guzzy's recently acquired one.......

I bought mine from RL music in England. Its cost me a massive amount - £3000 ($5910 USD). But its in as new condition, fully serviced and restored, with 3 months warranty. Below are the sales pics from RLmusic.

Looks nice!

I would really love to have a JP8 too but I am too worried about how long these things will keep on working...

90% of the components in the JP8 are of the 'easy to source' variety.

There are a few custom IC's....but if these were going to go wrong....they would have done so many years ago. If you get a JP8 that is in reasonable cosmetic condition and has been serviced.....then there is absolutely no reason to be afraid.

BTW....I played on an Andromeda recently....for about 8 hours straight. It made me want to buy a JP8.

Nice one , hope it's true on a 1.April

I have some failures on mine, but shall be fixed soon:
1. Every 8 key is different in [Poly 1]-mode, something wrong with the the 8. osc-pair, in [poly 2] it's the 1. osc pair.

2. Portamento acting strange

3.Mastertune don't work on every key, twisting the mastertune button on every key

4. I don't know if this is a failure but in [Solo]-mode the notes have lowest-note priority
1. part played, holding down the lowest note while playing higher notes in [Poly 1] mode, in the last part I'm playing teh same in [Solo] , maybe You can test this one for me

Guzzy - your JP8 just needs a good service. It'll sing once you've done that...

LOL...no its not an april fools! I look forward to sharing some classic patches with you. The JP8 is such a great analog bread and butter synth. One of the best for sure...
