Analog Heaven!

At Sweetwater, we know there are a lot of knob jockeys out there who love the analog look and feel! Well, feast your eyes on the JP800! This synth is a throwback to glorious analog synths, combining lots of knobs and realtime controllers with vintage synth sounds provided via Analog Modeling Technology. A newly developed DSP oscillator offers seven unique algorithms: Sawtooth, Triangle and Square waves, plus new waveforms like Super Saw, Triangle Mod and Feedback OSC. The JP-8000 produces 8-voice polyphony and has a 49-key (four octave) velocity-sensitive keyboard. Features:

• Incorporates new roland analog modeling technology, combining the fat, powerful sounds and tonal variations associated with vintage analog synths with the flexibility of digital technology and MIDI
• New DSP oscillator with distinct algorithms: Saw, Square, Triangle (PWM), Super Saw (7 detuned Saws), Triangle Mod, Feedback OSC
• 38 front-panel knobs and sliders for unprecedented realtime control and sonic manipulation -- allows for the intense "tweaking" required for modern dance music production
• 49 note velocity-sensitive keyboard
• "Analog: synth functions like oscillator sync, ring modulation, cross modulation and -12/-24 dB filtering
• Assignable ribbon controller and powerful pitch bend/ modulation lever
• 8-voice polyphony for thick chords
• Innovative "Motion Control" feature memorizes all sequential slider and knob movements, ensuring that a great realtime "tweak" will not be lost
• Powerful vintage-style arpeggiator with beat patterns
• Programmable Realtime Phrase Sequencing (RPS) functions
• Onboard digital delay and chorus effects as well as tone controls
• Backlit LCD for enhanced ease-of-use
• MIDI compatible: flash ROM for future program updates

What Does "Special Order" Mean? A special-order product is one that we don't normally keep in stock. We order it from the manufacturer as soon as you order from us. We have great relationships with all the manufacturers we carry, so we can get your special order to you as fast as or faster than anyone else. Remember that special orders are non-returnable and non-cancelable, so make sure the item is right for you. A Sweetwater Sales Engineer can help you decide - call (800) 222-4700 for assistance!
