The JX8P is superb, the strings on this are some of the best I have ever heard,totally underrated machine, think a lot of the reason why the strings are so good is probably because of the chorus unit but it sounds great even without it turned on.
The only problem with the JX8P is its slow envelope response,i.e. Attack, which meant fart-arseing around in Cubase to get it in time but it 
also means on percussive sounds like bass etc you can get a great lazy bass. If you can find a decent one buy it,its in my all time top ten synths.

A single filter => it's a paraphonic synth.

A normal polyphonic synth would have a filter for each voice, e.g. the JX-8P, which can sound massive, percussive, has fantastic strings,

e.g. 2. the DW-8000 which has 8 of the same filter in the Poly-800.
