Extremely good performance control in terms of Motion Sequencing, Velocity/Ribbon assignment to any parameter, great Pitch/Filter/Amp LFO options for the mod stick......but.... The MIDI implementation could be much better.....and only a MIDI IN and OUT - no THRU? Come on Roland!

UTILIZATION
While programming sounds you hardly ever have to use the small backlit LCD screen. Having all the controls in front of you makes it a joy to use. The manual (in true Roland style) is often cryptic, but for anyone used to using synths, its doesn't often need referring to.
The light plastic casing looks fairly robust but I wouldn't want it to risk a fall from a keyboard stand. Control knobs are a little light but feel robust enough.
SOUNDS
Very bright and clean 'Digital' quality about it. Not the warmest VA you've ever heard but that can mean it doesn't take up too much space in a mix. One thing you have to be careful with is the fact that the output can distort fairly easily. The synth best suits dance music (I produce tech/deep-house). Due to the 'thinness' of the sound at times, Bass, Treble and Chorus knobs are provided on the front panel, as well as Delay controls (Time, Feedback, Level). There are a few types of delay available and the Chorus control can be made to change to either a Phasing, Flanging or 'Twisting' effect. There could be a more comprehensive effects selection.
OVERALL OPINION
Whenever I'm about to program a new sound in the studio, the JP8000 is nearly always the one I turn to first. It perfectly suits what I play and I'd be very reluctant to sell it.
