The JP4 is an arpeggio king, really. Mine is pure Duran Duran and Human League. They both used them mainly as arpeggio machines ! So much FAT. :wink:

hmmm...

Maybe I'll just sell the gray and keep the arm. I can always get another "plain" gray one to match the arm if I want ;)

The blue one worths getting modded I guess... :roll:

The JX are sound truly awesome. Real classics. I had a few and still think the MKS70 sounds amazing for strings and pads, very warm and clean, yet very powerful.

Prophet 2000

Got one sitting here waiting for refurbishment. It currently doesn't initialize correctly and will need some work to get working.

Do you think it worths the effort ? Or will it act like just about any ancient sampler out there, with only 512mb of ram etc. ?

The gray looks nice with the arm, but somehow I have the feeling that both the red and blue 101's will become sought-after collectible analogs in a few years (any idea how many were made of each ?)

I've been offered 900$ for any of them...

Red and Blue SH-101

How many red and blue SH101 were made, as opposed to the "standard" gray ones ? I got a blue and a gray SH101 and will sell one. I thought about keeping the gray because it has its matching modulation arm, but thinking about this, the value of the blue one can rise up in the near future due to being...

They used the JP4 on just about every song on "Rio",
including "save a prayer". You just hear that immediately when tweaking the JP4 with the arpeggio going. The lead must be JP8.

Yo Yo cluster ! Long time no speak ;) Well, as for the JP8, it has been sold to someone else. I didn't really need two yah know... Anyway, the P5. Interesting find. I got it for free from a keyboard tech I know. It is missing the entire bottom/rear panel unit including the power supply... Rev 3.2 I'...
