Original Message 1/6 04-Apr-00 @ 08:54 AM - 8080
Ok so I'm thinking of saving up for the jp-8080. I've played with a virus, and the 8080 and tend to like the sounds of the 8080 better. Yes the virus can do more, but the 8080 for some reason tended to sound ...warmer (dare i say). Anyways this isn't a which one should I buy post, my question is does anyone think ROland will move the price down on the JPs at all? I mean pricewise it's still up there with the newer VAs yet it lacks many of those features. Anybody think ROland will drop the $ perhaps, or will they continue to be bloodsuckers?

I personally expect to jp's to go down the same road as the yammy an1x... Once it get's dicontinued some shops will sell their last stock for extremely low prices...I saw the an1x drop it's price by 50% in one year after remaining relatively stael for quite a while. I bought mine for about 550$ or so which is pretty cheap here.
So if i where you i'd wait for a while and see what prices are going to do.

Rob i'm sure they will drop it, because for about 12 months in Australia the JP8080 has been substantially cheaper than a Virus - $3795, Nova $2995, JP8080 you can get for about $2100-2300.
They have been selling really well because of this.

Yeah, in the UK they`re about £150 less (roughly $250US) and I expect prices 2 fall (Roland r bound 2 bring out a new VA).
Good 4 u BTW, 4 trusting your ears and thinking 4 yerself regarding VAs.

You wont be disapointed. I own the 8080 and yes it may lack in features compared to the Virus or Supernova but the sound is sweet and it has alot of it. I bought mine for $1300 us but that was when it was still fairly new. Oh and if you can check out those Korg Electribes the ER1 and EA1. Its Korgs answer to Rolands old XOX's in sequencer style and sounds good doing it too plus they arent gonna cost you a $1000 a piece either.
