    Yes, when Doctor Mix says the Jupiter 8 is: "Very expensive, very big and very rare". He really means it. I've just had a look at some examples.

    • @InXLsisDeo

      The even better news is that Roland now makes the Roland Boutique JP-08 which is pretty close in sound to the Jupiter 08 and much much cheaper. And it has MIDI.

    When I first got a used copy of thriller in early 1995 on cassette tape , this song completely blew my mind ( and nearly my hi fi speakers ! ) Even now I still think the intro is the most exciting build up to a song I've ever heard ,and at 1:25 in this video I'm reminded why , great job !

I've gotten the analog bug recently and as much fun as collecting is, it's damn pricey. I doubt I'll ever actually own a Jupiter-8, so it's nice watching one from afar doing what it does best.

    I've got an old JX-8P and I thought that had some round, fat sound to it. Nothing compared to this beast! My holy grail as far as Roland keyboards go is to someday get a JX-10. My math teacher had one and that thing just had the most awesome sound to it. Huge, lush, great weighted keys, tons of settings to really fine tune the patches...just a super machine overall.

      @@cmathews2112 We do it the old fashioned way. We write the settings down on paper, photocopy them, and mail them. :D I've actually wanted to start a Casio CZ enthusiast site/sub reddit for some time now where users could trade patches with maybe an Excel sheet or Google doc template. The CZ series was damn amazing when it came to patches. Eight step instead of four step individual envelope settings for the pitch, filter and volume, built in Ring Modulation, pretty cool PCM waveforms with a noise waveform for percussive or breathy effects, Phase Distortion (Casio's in house synth tech) couldn't replicate the old fat analog sound, but it was much more expressive and in your face than the typical FM sound tech from Yamaha. I can still slay with my CZ-101. :)

    - do you have the all sounds of Thriller in "sysex" for Roland D-50 (i don' t have JP-8 even if i know perhaps the sounds will not be as in the JP-8) ?
    I know there is a JP-8 of Roland Boutique but before buying it i would think about.
    ps: if you have any other famous sounds for D-50 (Van Halen, ecc...) i would be interested.
