I had one 30 years ago but sold it around 1999. It is a really nice sounding synth, I like how it looks. I find its got less sound characteristics to the Jupiter 8 and more to the JX/Junos, but it does sound different than the other Rolands of the time.
Oh how I miss my J6. A fantastic synth that I had a lit if fun with. The Juno 6&60 were the first synths I saw and able to play back in the day. Just something about the way they looked and sounded to me. A friend got the Juno 106 really nice and at the time I was one of the first people in NC to get the Yamaha Dx7. What a complicated piece of stool sample synth but h those bell and electric piano sounds. Then I was blessed to grab a almost mint J6 in 1988 for $700 cash. That was a steal for a 3grand aynth. Man did I live that thing. The look, the sounds just push buttons move faders and turn knobs till I heard what I liked then store. I actually made it Mt main midi controller. Sadly I had to sell a few years later with marriage and a child in the way. But I would definitely lice to still have it in my setup now. Great video as it was nice to hear it in action again. Brought back alit if great memories 💯❤️🎹
Love the JP6, great design, great panel layout. And so many features you miss on the Juno 106. The JP6 has a very distinct sound, being somehow cold but near at the same time. Blends very well with band instruments, without clouding everything up. Glad I own an MKS80, that can sound similar (but never identical, due to different circuitry).
I remember wanting one of these badly but it may as well have been a million dollars when on a newspaper route job budget at the time. Cool to hear one again.
This brings back memories. I was in a band back in the late 80's and at the end of our act, we would destroy a Jupiter 8 on stage with an axe and then throw the pieces into the audience as souvenirs. We must have massacred about 20-30 Jupiters. Nobody knew that they would be so valuable in decades to come.
Man, what a sound… The only synth that I would want more than this is the 8-voice, haha. Truly unique and groundbreaking range of synthesizers. Thank you for these videos. Just found your channel; instant subscriber. Peace.
Alex: This is Adam Berenson, with a message for you: "You are correct sir!" And the X8 is--effectively--also an 8 Voice. I just posted this video on the Oberheim and X8 Facebook pages.
Cherry Audio released a free plug-in version a couple of years ago. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-azILHiWceJ4.htmlsi=B8VlPHHxlcbf0ilc
