Outstanding dual DX7II FM-machine!

I have one. Yes its too bulky and big synth, faded backlit display and a bit complex logic of the synthesis system. But the sound.. THE SOUND of it is just incredibly cool for the digital synth. I found some of the really nice libraries that have so analog-like sounding programs plus a bit of authentic sounds from the famous retro synths like a Roland D-50, Emulator II, Oberheim XA, Roland Juno and Jupiter series, Korg M1/Wavestation, Yamaha CS series ... I even didnt expected such a solid and really deep basses, beautiful motion pads and famous DX-pianos (i.e. FM-tines). Also me really like the keyboard feel. Back the day in 1989-1990 it was too expensive (Yamahas flagship synth) for most user. But today Its an affordable powerful synth workstation especially if you making the music with 80-90s taste or authentic retro-like game soundtrack with FM sounds. And yeah, the SY77 have such a fine design too!

True Samurai with surgeon katana!

I really love this synth! It sounds so powerful, smooth and alive even compare it to the new JD-XA, System-8, which seemed to me a bit sterile, unnatural, even borring (for that price!!). JP-8000 can sounds gently crystal clear and transparent, drivy and aggressive... This machine not only for the Trance guys and girls! Pop, jazz, fusion, rock, hip-hop... It can produce anything else - sweet power mono leads of 70s, warm pads and groovy chords of the 70s, 80s, 90s, deep-deep basses (be careful with your windows)), cosmic sound fx of early 70s, some nice percussive, pluck and FM-like and sweet nostalgic 8bit chip sounds too. If you are familiar with sound programming you can make just any type of the sounds. More than this, its a super MIDI-controller - so many knobs and faders. Great sound, build quality, ergonomic and cool design (for me). So many legendary and famous bands, musicians used and uses the JP-8000 even today. Plus its a true samurai - "Made in Japan" =)
