Members Crazyfoo Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 WTF dude?You getting hammered on a divorce? If I didn't just spend 100k in the past two months, I would've bought your entire bundle.What you doing, clearing house and starting fresh? Whatever it is, I wish you luck and wish I saw this ad two months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DesolationBlvd Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 I wish I saw this ad two months ago. Same here - this looks to be a very good price on the JP-8 (in today's terms, that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crazyfoo Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 Same here - this looks to be a very good price on the JP-8 (in today's terms, that is). Exactly, the prices for both are very reasonable.I'm sure they will get snapped up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MuzikB Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 If you can, get in touch with Howard Jonen's people. He had 2 Jupiter 8's fail him for his tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Caligvla Posted June 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 This is sad thread.At least I hope you're not quitting music for good.Best of luck Diametro! OK. It's a little sad but I'm fine ... And by no means am I quitting music ... In fact, selling this gear will allow me the luxury of continuing to be "under-employed" while recording my fourth album and continuing to write my novel ... I know I won't be enthused when I reach the point in the recording process where I'd typically reach for the Jupiters, but I guess I'm just going to have to be more creative and push myself in new directions ... (It's just sooooo quick and easy to make great, unique sounds with the JP8/6 ... ) And after two years or so of not buying any gear, I may indulge myself and buy a monosynth ... Heck, now that I will soon have crap gear once more, I may even start posting here again lol ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At heart, I'm not a numbers guy and ultimately I prefer to not be moneycentric ... Stay tuned for my revealing "Life After JP8" thread ... Howard Jones uses Jupiter 8V while on tour. The software is actually more reliable than the hardware. Good enough for him, maybe it'll fill the void if you want that sound again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Caligvla Posted July 4, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 4, 2012 About this time last year I also considered selling JP8 but I hadn't recorded my third album yet, THE END OF TECHNOLOGY ... At the time I took the rare step of downloading and demoing JP8V which I concluded was more of a tribute than an emulation ... especially when trying to use it to actually make new sounds is where the 8V really falls flat ... Everything that sounds good was somebody's choice and they are not the totally-out-there outer sonic limits of Jupiter-8 ... But eventually if enough people start appreciating that side of Jupiter-8, maybe those behaviors can be programmed better .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Caligvla Posted July 26, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 26, 2012 I am looking at modern analog monosynths like MFB Synth II and the yet-to-be-released SE Boomstar and others (which are a fraction of the amount I got for my "nice-priced" Jupiters as well as a sliver of their footprint) ... I almost always used both Jupiters in unison mode anyway ... I'm also going to get a new studio computer ... but I'm not rushing into anything ...
