Man , that's incredibly close , well , done and ofcourse it has to be a 3p , mine died and i really really wonder if i can one day get it fixed , you dont know anyone fixing 3p's? Great work here sounds awesome authentic.
Sorry don't have a clue of any one fixing vintage analogues in Australia. The only reason I have it cos it was pretty much on my door step and cost bugger all...I can't really sell it either as it's pretty beat up so I would get bugger all for it...not my fave synth but I do like some of it's sounds like the strings...Fuck fixing it get a jupiter or juno if you have the money.
I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it getting jx-3p/poly61, or just save the money and buy a nice monophonic someday down the line, like an ms-20 or roland sh-101 or something since the juno 2 is polyphonic and may not sound super different than the jx
I'm guessing the jx-3p is pretty large eh? My room is pretty cramped as it is and a monophonic like I mentioned will probably only be half the size lol
Thanks, can't really try em in person to tell the difference
Don't like MS-20's...some of it's sounds are ok but mainly does those mad sounds which I'm not awlays after.
The Alpha sounds totaly different to the JX..and the 106 imo sounds way different than the 106...many people would say better..for one the 106 and JX both have self oscilating filters..the alpha's don't, alpha and106 have single oscilators but JX has two. It uses the same filter chip as the Juno 60 but it some how sounds totaly different..dirtier. The 60 imo is the best one. SH09 :-)
@Jordo54321 Poly61 and JX3p are really nothing like an MS20 or SH101. The Juno series and JX series sound entirely different from each other. I personally like the JX8P better than my Juno, although the Juno has its own charm. The oscillators really sound different in the two synths. Of course if you want grit, go with the analog Monosynths. The jx3p is actually very small in size, almost like a Casio type board.
Haha, yeah my only other vintage synth is an Alpha Juno 2 and I love it.
I just want to get another synth from the early 80's, as the juno 2 was mid-semi late 80's.
Just wanted another synth for variety. Was hoping the jx-3p had the possibilities of having a much different sound.
I noticed you have a juno 1, how different from the jx3p does it sound? And how different does a juno 1/2 sound from a 106?(if you happen to know) From demos it seemed like the juno 2 could be pretty close to the 106
was this pad on the jx-3p processed with effects afterwards?
Been lookin for a poly61m forever, but they don't come up often I hear. I don't want to go for a poly61 as it has no midi.
So I'm looking into the jx-3p as I hear it's similar, plus has midi.
I haven't found many good demos of the jx-3p on youtube though besides a few of yours. The synthfactory of whatever that guy's patches didn't appeal to me too much.
The JX-3P is a great Synth for its money ! You cant do something wrong with it, i love mine. But for a beginner Synth i woulkd recommend the Juno 60 or 106, there you have sliders and knobs. Cuz if you´re not familiar with programming, it can get confused with the JX-3P without the programmer.
Exactly! Totaly agree here, personaly I think the Novation KS Rack has a simmilar tone to the JX-3P and would make a fantastic first synth, or a Nord Lead 2 Rack
Oh yeah same but your beginner isnt going to have the cash to throw at vintage instruments hence why I mentioned the digital alternatives which offer a lot more possabilities, as great as the old Juno's are they are quite restricted.
The 106 suffers from the voice chips failing and the Juno 60 is now very expensive..sticking midi on it costs even more lol
Oh yea the nord is RAW baby lol the novation can sound a bit plasticky but they both have character imo..different to analogue but nice
Thanks but I dont think it makes a good first synth..for one it's rather old/quirky and limmited in what it can do.
It's from 1983 yeah so it was Rolands FIRST synth to have MIDI, this means MIDI implementation is shit also everytime you turn it on it defaults to OMNI on which is annoying; the only way you can turn that off is by patching a midi lead from the in to the out and playing 6 notes.
It's great at strings and pads in that order, not great for puchy basses
Also there is no portamento/legato, as I said you are restricted to only midi note on/off and program change, it has the same filter chip as the Juno-6 and 60 but this doesnt mean it sounds like one albeit it sounds good and it is self oscilating. It has 2 oscilators so can do sounds the Juno's cant.
Programing for your first synth might be daunting depending on your level of skill, if you know analogues this thing is EASY even without the PG-200

Juno 1 is the SAME as the 2 but better keyboard and what have you.
The 106 sounds a lot nicer in a cool 80's way and the sound is a lot more high quality but the alpha's rock with house music.
My money is on a SH-02, 09, Waldorf Pulse and 101

Yeah phaser, reverb and compression.
It's a nice synth...but I preffer the Juno's over it..even the Alpha's but thats a very personal statement.
Some people love JX's these to bits and in the right hands can sound very good.
It does lovely strings and nice basic pad's

Maybe, but i really prefer analog synths with character, despite the Nord Lead is a nice sounding VA-Synth.

For a starter synth try the Novation KS Rack
