Talk:Roland JP-8000

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have a suggestion. This page should have picture of the JP-8000, including a specification table of the type of oscillators and DSP effects it has. --wikilurker 2:54, 21 Dec 2005 (UTC).

Agreed, however, we have to find a pic that isnt copywrited by Roland or anything like that. This article is definitely a stub though, it needs more info. Such a influencial synth deserves a bigger wiki page.--Hypergeometric2F1[a,b,c,x] 08:36, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

I am working on a major revamp of this page. Replacing opinions with facts and statistics (correct ones at that). I will add a "public" pic as well Infocollapse 21:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This is a commercial

This description of the Roland JP-8000 is a commercial.

JP-8000 was an interesting analog modeling synth, but not very special. The Nord Lead (Clavia) made fun of it.

I made some changes...any better?--Hypergeometric2F1(a,b,c,x) 09:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

And that was after my extensive attempts to edit out all the "fanatic" comments that were not based on fact almost a year ago... looks like you got the rest. I wouldn't mind some actual detail regarding what artists have used the synth for what song etc. but yes the "this synth is awesome because it’s cool" comments had to go. --Infocollapse 22:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I propose that this article be merged with the already dubious supersaw article. IMO, supersaw, while important does not need an entire article to itself, and could be easily a subsection (or expansion) of this article. Furthermore, the phase desync stuff needs to be pruned or deleated.--Hypergeometric2F1(a,b,c,x) 09:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

4 weeks had passed without objection, so I went ahead and did it.--Hypergeometric2F1(a,b,c,x) 04:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I will go along with the "supersaw" idea but please double check your edits for grammar and English readability ex. "The JP-8000 was one of many analog modeling synthesizers released in the late 1990s along with other modeling synthesizers such as the Access Virus, Novation Supernova, and Clavia Nord Lead." one of many... along with other… there were quite a few other noun verb agreement problems which I corrected. I see my discussion note about the original author perhaps not being a native English speaker was deleted... let's not take this article back where it started ok? ;) --Infocollapse 22:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
