Same for me. Some are fine, some not.

The JP8 has discrete VCOs - no 3340's here. It might have been
the MKS-80. What I heard (but that's only from hearsay, too) is
that Roland selected just the other way round: The good ones
for the Monosynth (without autotune), and the not so good ones
for the Polysynth (where you need an autotune anyway).
