Sent. Thanks for looking into it.

Do these ship from Chicago? I'm a little over an hour away and haven't seen anything yet. I ordered the overlay for appearance over function for the most part. Mainly it's the glossy plastic I wish they wouldn't have used. It looks nice when it's new but eventually it will look terrible. The only wa...

Has anyone received a tracking number since this announcement?

Thanks for the reply! I also ordered thinking there were overlays available (after asking the question). I'm not sure if he intends to make more after selling through the second batch. I don't want to wait for a long time only to be told that I won't be getting one. A little communication of some so...

@richardbates1: At what point during your wait did you get some sort of confirmation about your order and or tracking number info?

Hopefully I get time to do some comparisons. Do you still have your JP8000? I regrettably sold mine a few years back, but got around to picking up a JP8080. It is a unique synth. The newer Supernatural synth in some ways doesn't sound as good as the JP8000. In other ways it is clearly better. I'm cu...

For those that have received their overlay, does it ship in an envelope or a box? I'm a little surprised I haven't seen it yet.

The core synth sounds (sine, saw, square) are supposedly modeled. I couldn't find if that means the alternate versions (super-saw, sine-B, etc.) are also modeled but it seems likely. I tried comparing the V-Synth super-saw to the one on the JD-XA. The one on the V-Synth sounded a bit more organic an...

As a long time Roland user I agree with most of what you are saying. Roland are infamous for doing things that don't make sense. I kind of understand the sequencer being limited since it is meant to be like the JP8000's "motion control". But they did call it a sequencer so why limit it. It...

I agree. It is a strange omission. Jupiter 80 doesn't have one either. It has Tone Blender which is a kind of parameter randomiser. Really happy it is in the analog section at least.

I haven't had any luck finding this on the digital part. For the analog section you go into menu, arrow to program, part, or tone edit (depending what you want affected): hit enter: arrow to matrix control 1. You can set your source for aftertouch, arrow over one more and you can set your destinatio...

Thanks Jamie. It looks great. I will post pictures once I have mine "installed".

Is it too late to get in on this batch? If so, are there more planned?
