A 'gay' synth? What are you people in the land of the midnight sun
smoking/drinking? That 200 proof Polish vodka ('Polmos')? Send me a
bottle!!
BTW, the JP-6 is good (can't speak to the MKS-80), but the JP-8 is quite
different in character - more 'lush', not as nasal or 'stringy'. I had 'em
both, at the same time, $700US each. Back when 'analogue' meant 'crappy old
technology', hehe.
Worth hunting up an 8, but count on maintenance from a good tech every 3
years or so. The US power supply tended to run hot, fall out of calibration
(?) and cause a variety of flaky behavior. And the fake 'edit' message from
contamination in the sliders (my bad - we smoked around it constantly).
