Hi, please help me to build up this page.

As a former JX-8P user and enthusiast, I sadly found there was no page to this synthesizer, which was the base where the JX-10 "Super Jupiter" was made from. I created the page, then joined Wiki to keep modifying it until it stands to similar Roland Synthesyzer pages. What got me started was the allegation in the Super Jupiter wiki where it was stated that the Super Jupiter was to contest the Yamaha DX-7. This is not true as I was using both of them back on the day and the competition was between the 7 and the 8. The 10 went into the market when the Yamaha was well-established.

Actually, the JX-10 was called the "Super JX", not the "Super Jupiter". The Super Jupiter was the MKS-80. --ApolloBoy 00:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. That is the kind of information I need in the page, but as it turns out, MKS-80 was a "Super JX in a box" if my memory does not fail. One more time, I'd appreciate if anyone else is willing to help me with this. I can pull a picture for the front page, as I have one, but need to scan. It would be nice if seomebody put one, I don't want to go lurk the internet and post a picture that is not mine. Same thing with MIDI implementation. I just don't have the time to sit down and edit it for now. Cheers.--Joey kaye 22:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
