    When I first tried a JX3P, back in the 1980s, I was expecting a DX7-ish synth - and, at the time, I was NOT a fan of the DX7! I hated the DX7 (and all FM synths) back then, due to an in-shop demo that convinced me FM synths were boring, static synthesizers... when I asked the salesman what I could do by means of expression (hoping for some way to access the equivalent of filter cutoff), he said "it has a LOVELY, RICH VIBRATO!" He threw the mod-wheel up half-way on whatever factory preset was currently playing, resulting in a cheezy sea-sick noise that even Nik Kershaw would blush to use on one of his B-sides. No sir, no DX7 for me! The day that I first tried a JX3P - I only had a shot of the JX3P as I was waiting on my bus arriving, and had time to kill. I slipped on the headphones, expecting, due to the lack of knobs, another DX7-type of synth... ...but - hold on! It was wonderful, robust, and full! The bass was beefy, the brass was bold, the strings were silky and seductive - the chorus added a new dimension to the sounds too! And, lo and behold - did I not see, upon the silk-screen at the right (which explains the structure of the voices) those magical words: "Cutoff Frequency"? I had read some unenthusiastic reviews of the JX3P at the time, mostly complaining about the lack of knobs/slider for programming, but I was not daunted - I had discovered a classic synthesizer, and at the time, it was quite cheap for the keyboard minus the PG200 programmer. Since that first experience, the JX3P became my favourite analog poly synth. Today, I am happy to own a modified JX3P with the Kiwitechnics "Matrix" update, which adds another two envelopes, two more LFOs, PWM, variable chorus speed, and much, much more! Protip: IF YOU SEE ONE, GET IT! Due to the Kiwitechnics "Matrix" upgrade, people are taking more interest in the JX3P - so get yours while you can.

    Although I admittedly came to this “fight” already favoring the 8P out of loyalty (the one I own is the second analog synth i played and the first analog polyphonic I played), I am glad that I stayed for the finish. The things I favor about the 8P might not necessarily supersede what’s in the 3P, but I think the 8P and the MKS-70 module that I’ve also got each hold their own enough that the 3P isn’t a synthesizer I am eager to look for.

    All four are nice, the Beats would be least valuable but still that stutter effect is nice. RD6 for sure the better drum machine. Just buy both bass synths.

    I have them both and Juno 106. They are different machines used for different things. I like the JX3P as an all rounder. The JX8P is great for pads. I like the Juno for bass, horn stabs and pads.

    How easy is it to turn off velocity and after touch on these? I’ve been considering one myself, but would have a hard time with the keyboard effects since my OBXa (and Jupiter 8) didn’t have them, also is there a way to use my old OBXa patch banks that are still on cassette with this? Some kind of converter? Thanks

    Super easy -- there are buttons on the main panel to turn on/off velocity and aftertouch. Amazingly, yes, you can import sounds from earlier instruments via a retro input feature.

    RD 6 sounds better imho. It has individual outputs too. The korg volca bass seems cooler, it is meant to be used as an acid synth, but it has more than a single OSC, kinda mimicking to the minimoog. Beats is alright, it also has more functions like automations but the single output and snare kills it in a bad way, altought it can be modded.

    Funny enough, I've owned two different JX8Ps, and they IMO sound a little different. There is also some minor differences with front panel colors and one version has patch names on the front. I currently have a December '85 model (you can look the serial numbers) and I really like the sound of this one better. (The other one had the patch names on the front).

    Honestly, the board is a lot of real estate for some mundane yet classic sounds of 40 years ago. You’d think with all these knobs we could push the envelope a bit more.

    An MKS-30 is not especially expensive, even modded. Modded, the feature set blows the 8P out of the water. It blows many more expensive synths out of the water!!! The Kiwi mod makes it into a MATRIX synth with additional LFOs and envelopes!!! Of course, you can mod a 3P, but an MKS takes up less space, and you don’t have to handle your vintage gear directly, just a keyboard controller. You could leave the MKS in a closed rack box with midi connections added to the exterior and never remove it aside any maintenance needed. Just need to have the presets listed somewhere, though. Or control it with a computer. Or a programmer designed for mods. Yes, I’ve considered it. But my needs lean more towards a TG77. A TG81x might do me, but why skimp, especially when you’re layering with heavy guitars, and are insane with nerdiness.

    The Jupiter 8 sounds slightly warmer and fatter. But I have huge affection for the Jupiter 6 it's younger brother. I certainly wouldn't turn a Jupiter 6 away, still a great synth in it own way.
