Late 1990s Roland JP-8000 Polyphonic Analog Modelling Synthesizer (Factory 240V)

Late 1990s Roland JP-8000 Polyphonic Analog Modelling Synthesizer (Factory 240V)

 Made by Roland in the late 1990s, the JP-8000 was a first-of-its-kind Roland Analog Modeling sound source, combining the fat, powerful sounds associated with vintage analog synths with the flexibility of digital technology and MIDI. Like the classic Roland analog synths of the past, the JP-8000 sports a collection of 38 front-panel knobs and sliders for powerful real-time control, opening a brand new world of sonic possibilities. The innovative "Motion Control" feature memorizes all sequential slider and knob movements, ensuring that a great real-time "tweak" will not be lost. "Analog" synth functions like oscillator sync, ring modulation, -12/-24 dB filtering, cross modulation are all present here, as well as an assignable ribbon controller and powerful pitch bend/modulation lever. These features make Roland JP-8000 a very powerful synthesizer for both live and studio use for those looking for analog tone with digital control.

The JP-8000 is well suited for use in any music where classic synth sounds are needed and will fit into just about any genre, including techno, dance, drum & bass, hiphop, film scoring, synth pop and more! Notable artists who have used the JP-8000 include The Crystal Method, The Prodigy, Groove Armada, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, ATB, Faithless, Gary Numan and Garbage.

In great condition for its age, this particular JP-8000 has undergone a full service by highly reputable synthesizer repairer Synzone in Sydney and has had all sliders, knobs and switches cleaned as well as a full SMD recap. The unit has been tuned and tested thoroughly and is ready for anything. Exhibiting the typical amount of wear and tear you'd expected for a 20+ year old instrument, it has a few scuffs and scratches here and there but overall presents in excellent condition.
