Members Crazyfoo Posted October 12, 2011 Members Share Posted October 12, 2011 I bought mine on Friday and am still waiting for it to arrive. I sold some gear to help pay for it: PEK, D-50 & PG-1000, so in the end I only had to cough up about $700 out of pocket. Those were 2 keyboards I rarely used so selling them was no great loss. For you guys who have bought one, any thoughts? Once I get it I'll put together a demo and post it along with a brief review. I really though hard about the Kronos but decided there would be too much overlap with my Oasys. Regards PS----> I was over at the Roland Clan forums reading and posting a bit, and one of the guy was saying how McHale said the other guy he wasnt 'right in the head" :lol: I think I laughed for 10 minutes when I read that because I enjoy reading McHales posts and I could so picture him saying it, lol Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ElectricPuppy Posted October 14, 2011 Members Share Posted October 14, 2011 I have no thoughts on this because I haven't bought one. But I'm interested to hear what you think of it once you get your hands on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crazyfoo Posted October 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Howz it hangin foo... Hey Bernard The Jupiter 80 arrived yesterday afternoon and all I can say is "WOW". I never thought I would have so much enjoyment playing a synth but this thing has far exceeded my expectations. Keep in mind I've only had it a day and havnt even read the guide yet, still just scrolling through the sounds, but man, the sounds are Sweeeeeet! Where this keyboard excels is in the synth department, mainly pads, swells, strings etc. Very fat and juicy. There's nothing 'cheap' sounding from the sonic spectrum, its very rich, smooth and robust. (highly polished but not fake sounding) I havnt had it long enough to write a proper review but I can tell you it is extremely well built and put together. I also think it will be the perfect compliment to my Oasys. This really does complete my dream rig, Oasys on bottom, Jupiter 80 in middle and Voyager on top. As far as the PC3x, Radias, Sy77 and M1, I think I will clear a nice spot for them in the closet. Ill try to put together a demo soon.

There's an ad for a JX-10 for $350, which I think is a steal, I want it but I dont need it, lolTime to calm down, heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seamonkey Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Congrats on the arrival of your new Jupiter. Looks like a beauty:thu:. I'd love to hear some demos of the synth side should you ever decide to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gribs Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 The demo video Bernard posted certainly shows off types of sounds I like. The synth looks really nice too -great photos. I am curious about those buttons under the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribs, I believe those buttons provide access to different banks of sounds, brass, strings, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpaceNorman Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 I am curious about those buttons under the keyboard. I laid hands on Jupiter 80 a couple of days ago. Although I didn't spend enough time to figure out how exactly how to do it - the buttons under the keyboard are basically user defined "preset" buttons. Create whatever "performance" patch you want (wsplits, layers, effects, etc.), save 'em - then assign the saved "performance" patch to a "button under the keyboard" for instant access.

Members DJ RAZZ Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 IT sounds so good that it makes it hard to watch. Cannot afford that or even a big analog something for at least 2 years or so. I am rebuilding my studio at a snails crawl and trying to keep things going in my live rig. I really need a GAIA, LITTLE PHATTY, MOPHO KEYBOARD, or NORD LEAD 2X FIRST. I also need a good clone organ, REASON 6 or STUDIO 1, and an interface. NEED a new macbook pro sometime, you get the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really glad you like it so far. You can't go wrong really as you have the Korg Sound the Moog Sound and the Roland Sound...

NEED a new macbook pro sometime, you get the picture. I loath and detest the idea of second hand gear but you can probably pick up an old Roland Analog (hybrid non slider interface less wanted type) for alot less than a new GAIA and have really great sounds... Then you probably know this anyway... I will not say the ones I like for fear of driving their prices up but they are out there. You just need to make sure they are not faulty.. So buy local and check them out first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just seldom do it. It must be mint or from a friend I know and even then it is hard for me to do it. I really love the feel of opening something brand new. I also love old stuff but I would have to buy it from one of the MOD/ restoration companies which defeats the purpose of the good deal, but my new-old baby would look mint an fresh for years. I lose money buy selling used to buy new. OCD and GAS at it's worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members big thing Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 I sold my Oasys to get a Kronos and a Jupiter-80, one of the best decisions I've made. The JP-80 is: 1. Smooth. 2. Silky. 3. Creamy. And it looks fantastic in the dark. What are you waiting for?!! Sell some stuff and go and get one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DJ RAZZ Posted October 22, 2011 Members Share Posted October 22, 2011 For me nothing left to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crazyfoo Posted October 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 22, 2011 The JP-80 is: 1. Smooth. 2. Silky. 3. Creamy. Thats a perfect way to describe it. I'm not one of those guys who are loyal to one specific company of synths, if its good and fits me, then I'll own one. Everyone has their advantages etc. I'll probably get a Kronos eventually, especially now since they made us Oasys owners the offer in $750 worth of free sound libraries to make up for shafting us. As far as the Oasys, I'll never sell it, it's such a perfect studio piece and the sounds on it will never get old. It has its place. The only negative about it is the size and weight, its a bitch to carry, espcally in a case. The Kronos is so much lighter and gig friendly.
