To the Hobby user from Holland!JP-8080 绝对够流行素质，不管是外观直觉还是内在声音!病毒又怎么样（Virus）——傻瓜般的旋钮而且还没有超级锯齿波（Supersaw） ！！这就是 JP-8080为什么这么受欢迎的原因！！我喜欢同NORDRACH一块使用 8080 ，我用一个字来形容，那就是他们在一起发挥时太棒了！！我强烈向那些希望获得诸如Jupiter 8那样丰满音质的观众推荐JP 8080……在结构上它们是几乎一样的。如果你另外还想买病毒的话，听我的话，还不如买NORDRACK！！

Roland最好的新机器之一。看起来也挺酷的：）通过JP-8080可以获得绝对终极快感！！如果你想扩展内存的话，看一下eBay找一下 4mb-5v cards，那里会有的

To Eric- to find out the OS version, hold the 1 and 3 buttons (the second row below the display) and the LFO1 Waveform button while powering it on. It tell you after it's done with it's little intro graphic. /|\ Right now I only own an Alesis QS6.1 and the JP synth-wise, so obviously this is my main synth... plus I barely use the QS. I personally love it. I've played the nord, and it is thinner sounding than the JP (not so with the Virus). The JP is also discontinued, so getting it for cheap is becoming easier. -- The sounds can be fat, cutting, or basically whatever else... although it doesn't really have that analog feel, it's just too perfect (the same with 95% of VA's). It can do really great basses, which I like, but the best perk is the Super Saw- great for strings (any Wumpscut fan can hear them in action at the beginning of Wulf)- superb for leads also. Only having 2 channels is really not so bad, just record a lot of it to audio. I am having problems with delay sync... so watch out for this, and the OS is also VERY tricky to update. Generally speaking, though, it is a solid synth with many great features, and now the price is very good (gotta love the 6u of knobs, too!) Buy it and you will not regret it- I never did.

我已经拥有此台设备4个多月了，我真得很喜欢她。它具备令人振奋的富有弹性的调制器。声音如此荒谬——嘿嘿：），但真他吗有表现力

Yes! my JP-8080s' sounds are great for Trance lines/leads and strings, and various effects. Filters are great! but it clicks sometimes as mentioned earlier. Does someone know how to determine the current OS version??.

yo!
about rebooting; i have sometimes similar problems, but not always, sometimes happen to me after 1 or 2 hours, sometimes already in 30 min , but sometimes never and i have power on about 4-5 hours, so i don't know why is that so,

about "clickin"sound; well i know that when i set Amp envelope too low, especialy knobs "A" and "R",or filter section there's clicking sound, but when i rise up a little then i don't get effect i want to, similar happens at my Juno-106 synth, the same thing.Well after time you'll get used to it and try to make another sound.

otherwise is great synth, very powerfull sounds, especially bass, leads and strange sounds, heh, i'm making hardtrance, psy, and similar and i can tell you it's killer synth, little expensive, but would have another one, hehe

Has anyone's 8080 ever rebooted by itself while on? It seems to only happen when I use the midi ports. Roland tech support says that there is no way any midi messages or corrupt messages would cause the unit to repower itself back on, so I'm taking their advice and replacing it. I've tried 4 different outlets and another working power cord. Besides that, the synth is phat. GET IT NOW!

Great synth and beautiful pads!! If you are into Dutch trance then get this synth. Hands-down great! Pair it up with a Nord or Virus and you are in synth heaven.
For the reviewer below: The 'clicks' are due to the very fast attack rate. Many synths create a click or pop noise if the attack is set to 0. Basically the attack is happening so fast it causes a pop. Raise the value slightly and it will go away. This applies to many VA synths.

I've had this synth for over 2 years now. I really like it and it forms the heart of my set up. This synth is a dream to program, plenty of knobs and sliders, everything else is a couple of button push's away. The fx are basic but thats good. Im not a big fan of synths that use heaps of fx to make up its sound. Distortion is not that great, but i hardly ever use it. It is good though when you want to make a really harsh ear splitting bass sound - think Atari Teenage Riot.
The major con on this synth (as previously mentioned) "is the clicking sound occurs with certain env or filter settings, sometimes tweaking the filter envelope helps or raising the attack in the amp etc, I have also heard other VA's do this on occassion" - I haven't heard a va which is as bad as the JP8080. Often the clicking gets hidden in the mix. I get around this now though by using a external filter (Electrix Filter Factory). Don't let the clipping colour your view of this synth, cause if you are looking for a synth that does pads, smooth leads and basses then this a synth that I would put at the top of your list.

This synth is still one of the best on the market even though it was introduced in 1998.
To really get the most (and I mean the MOST), spend $30 and get the Video Manual from Roland. The instructor is awesome and he really gets under the hood and explores every square milimeter of this synth. What was really cool is how easy you can Gate sounds from OSC1 from OSC2 or Gate drums or other devices that go through the inputs.

[B]The Virus is a great synth, but I think the JP8000/8080 is more flexible so if you want deep, pounding, fat bass, you can get it.[/B] But if you want angelic pads or Jupiter style bleeps and buzzes, you can get that too. One major advantage of the JP8000/8080 over the Virus (in my opinion) is the amount of buttons AND sliders. [B]The Virus requires you to nagivate through a lot of menus, but the JP8000/8080 has 90% of its features laid out in front of you.[/B] Not to mention that you can create 48 customer patterns on this syth which can be 1 to 4 measures per pattern.

Although the JP's manual touches on all the features, you will learn the most from the video manual. This synth is fantastic and used by so many professional musicians, especially in the Trance and New Age genres.

I own the JP8000 for a few weeks now but i dont seems to menage to work with it over midi well. When i turn the LOCAL SWITCH OFF the JP8000 does not generate sound at playback. For this i keep the LOCAL SWITCH ON. I have to put the MIDI THRUE SWITCH in Cubase 3.6 to OFF, otherwise the synth hangs and i have to reboot the thing to be able to work again. Also if i make a program change on the JP8000, my other MIDI gear changes program too. All off ,y MIDI gear has its own MIDI receive/transmit channel and the use there own MIDI PORT at my Midiman 8*8 MIDI Interface.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS?

I _love_ this synth. Used to own a JP-8000, sold it for a Novation Nova, which I then sold to get a JP-8080. The JP has a particular sound, punchy and thick and gritty. It's tough to describe. All I know for sure is that I have yet to find a comparable synth. The Novation is much smoother - an exaggerated example would be a comparison between Sasha's "Xpander" (which features the Novation sound) and Crystal Method's "Keep Hope Alive" (which features the Roland). Obviously, it's a difference of taste, but for me I prefer the nastier Roland sound.

Made some scary, scary stuff with this. If you like scary scary stuff, get one of these. Use it with other stuff and it will be scary scary scary. That's TRI-Scary. But careful not to scare little kids at a tender age. the after effects can be very not good. It's not the only scary scary thing out there. But it's up there with the good ones. Frightening.
