Hi,
I'm considering buying an early serialnumber JP-8 ( around 140000 ). It's a =
12-bit version with no DCB. I'm not sure of the O/S version.
As I understand it, the main reason for the switch to the 14-bit processor =
was increased tuning stability.
Does anyone have experience with both versions and can give some insight to =
if there's any noticable difference in "fatness" ?
The seller wants premium bucks for this one, around 2200Euro, but as it is =
not mint, doesn't have Midi and doesn't come with a case ( needs to be =
shipped 1000km ) it seems a bit steep. I figure, it is only worth half of =
what the seller wants........
Maybe I should look to other vintage synths as I have a number of Rolands =
already, but damn it's one sexy machine !
