MY RATING:

SOUND SAMPLE


UPDATE 27-Feb-2008: Today I created a YouTube video showcasing this synth. You've probably already noticed this.

A lot of synths have come and gone in and from my attics and basements since 1984, but this is the only one I've kept the entire time (with the exception of a decade or so languishing in my brother's studio), and it's worth it. Nothing says vintage like the raw, sexy tones generated by this early-digital two-osc workhorse.

Just yesterday my brother found the original casette tape which has all the factory presets on it! Pretty cool.

Back when my Dad spent a fortune on this for me (the only time he ever bought me anything this expensive; Christmases were usually $100-$200 toy-fests but in 1984 he got a big bonus!), I had originally wanted the JX-3P. But this board was cheaper and had twice as many sounds, so we were convinced it was the wiser investment. Sure enough, it's worth more than twice as much as a JX-3P today, but more on that board later!
