The JX-8P is a decent analog polysynth. It has 6 voices of polyphony, great MIDI  implementation and patch storage (as well as an external memory cartridge). The PG800 controller gives you total control of all it's editable parameters. It's 61 note keyboard is velocity and aftertouch sensitive. Just like the Juno synthesizers it uses DCO's for a very stable system, however  it's sounds are a little thin and bright. It also features portamentounsion and solo (monosynth) performance modes. The JX-8P also comes in a beefed up racmount version called the MKS-70. It is used by Biosphere, 808 State, Tangerine Dream, The Shamen, Depeche Mode, Uberzone and Dorsal.
