I'm most worried about the organ patches tho, but if worse comes to worst, I can midi my vk8m module and have that module cover organ stuff. Also I really liked the key bed, even for piano, so I may wind up possibly ditching my yamaha p85 piano and instead use the JP as my lower keyboard with possibly a new VR09 as my top keyboard.
Hopefully I'll be very happy and won't want to sell it anytime soon, but if I do, it comforting to know I can flip it for the same price or maybe even a bit more!
Glad you made the plunge. I think you will REALLY like the Jupiter. And you have a great solution if you find the organs lacking in the VK8M module.
The acoustic pianos are beautiful and I find them to be almost as good as Kronos, such that if I need a specific patch on Kronos but also want a great piano, I have it in the Jupiter.
The only gripe about Jupiter - and Kronos - are the stock electric guitars; they are simply weak. I guess that's why I keep my Motif ES. But that said, I think that if you give the Jupiter some quality time, you'll find that no amount of money will induce you to part with it - and this is coming from a person who was dissing the Jupiters when they were released in 2011 (80) and 2012 (50). I was wrong about these instruments and as Cello might say "I finally 'got it.'"
Best,
Vlad
