This is about the only decent JP80 Vid on "pootube"

That one got me interested, went to the store to spend and hour with her
and "She came home with me" !!!

Coming from being a former Juno 60 owner, I can see the benefits of this. I'm a bit "old school" about aftertouch though, it's a "tendon killer" and I don't miss it sooo much. What I do miss is NOT having a mod wheel that I can move to a subtle "open" position and leave...

I just checked through the JP80 manual, Page 47-49 details the harmony settings and page
83-84 details the various pedal assignments.

I couldn't find any ref to turning this on/off with a pedal .... sorry !
I'm sure you did the same, so I'm not much help.

ERSATZ = Meaning "cheap" or "Tacky"

Usually used when eating some cheap powdered noodles or something,
to describe the taste ...
The taste is "Ersatz"

I agree with Dany that there are indeed a LOT of memory slots available and that's good to point out. I too tried a huge "move delete and copy" session, which ended up in disaster with many things having their links broken. I'm now back to V2 with my own sounds included but nothing from V1...

I am also curious, can the Jupiter somehow be expanded with more memory? If so we wont have to worry about moving registrations around. Ray, that's what I am wondering, the backup files are not that large and these days what is the deal with memory limitations, it's so cheap now ! Remember buying A...

Yup - you are correct, seems it's a combo of Prophet8 & Poly evolver ... BUT the P8 IS analog?? ,,, little confusing, sorry if I got that prematurely wrong in my general exitement :-) Sounds killer though ... wow I think I would spend that on a P12 over one voice of Voyager any day ! M PS = I ha...

I know I'm in the minority with such views! lol But hey, some people can't stand the sound of a cello so it all evens out in the end :) Cello's or should I say Celli .?... are great, I have the "Godfried" or something, set for Kontakt and the complete Vienna strings has some nice solo and...

VR09 would have almost been perfect as my new "carry it myself with a bad back" keyboard but I wanted 76 notes so have just bought a Juno Stage :0( Still, the Juno sounds pretty good and with a few tweaks, really good ! I'm really not SO into the whole organ drawbar thing anyway, haven't u...

Prophet 12 looked interesting at first but then I realized its a VA synth with analog filters + other processing. It sounds killer. Please correct me if I'm wrong about the VA thing. I'm a little skeptical about Dave Smith build quality so I hope to get a hands on soon. Dev, I watched the whole Vid...

I was kind of excited about the MS-20 mini for a moment, but I have the Legacy Korg software
and the MS-20 controller, so that's pretty close - within 90% there for me anyway.

I really DON'T want another 37 key mini keyboard, my hands are just too big !!

Marty.

Dany, I'm with you on that and a number of your other recent points. I guess my "tone" was reflecting on some general forum "grumbles" and fanboy stuff that bugs me, hence the "sensible and useful" comment. It wasn't really all about this particular post. IMHO there wer...

That's about the most sensible and useful comment that I've read here for ages. If that was about the most sensible and useful comment that you've read here for ages , then I feel really sorry for you. Thanks Dany, I have not had anyone feeling sorry for me for some time, glad that you care :-) Per...

Buy an instrument for what it can do now.
