Yes Diki, I did let it go...and yes, sometimes I do regret it...it was in great shape, too.

Nothing, absolutely nothing sounded like that instrument...mine didn't have the MIDI retrofit, but it did have the newer D/A converter board that made the tuning more stable plus it had the DCB....Danny is looking for an old MC8 microcomposer for it.

I did pick up a old module, a Roland MKS-80 Rev.4, sometimes people called it the "Super Jupiter"...it's in being serviced, trying to get the display working...may need a new one...actually my Yamaha techie is working on it.

It has the MPG-80 programmer with it so I'm not missing much...and it has analog VCOs...AND, most importantly, it responds to velocity and aftertouch, something the JP-8 wouldn't do...no effects, though.

Got it really cheap so it's worth fixing up.

I also have a hard line on a Roland JX-10 that's being sold in an estate settlement...one of my clients put me onto it...supposedly mint condition, home studio use only...it has 76 keys, so I may use it for a controller for the MKS-80.

That as far as my gear lust goes...thankfully it's not one of those "mortal sins".
