What was so wonderful is the fact that the guy who invented MIDI, I think it was Paul Smith, decided rather than license it he gave it to everyone for free. He could have made millions controlling it but didn’t. There should be more people like him in the world. What an amazing man.

Dave Smith at Sequential Circuits wrote the white paper and presented it at a conference for synth manufacturers, but the standard was essentially designed by committee. Roland liked the way that Oberheim synths could be chained together, but asked Dave Smith to come up with a more streamlined protocol which would also be supported by Yamaha, Korg et al. All the companies sought to benefit from it, in much the same way that internet firms agreed to use WWW standards, or various electronics companies pushed for the adoption of USB, instead of having proprietary connectors that limit their usability.

The JP-6 is a great synth. I think its failure in the market was largely due to unfortunate timing. Had the DX7 not stolen everyone's thunder, it may have done well. I have always felt it was FM synthesis that ended analog as during that time synthesis was still evolving and synths (and there use) were really in their heyday. When you think about it, analog poly-synths didn't really have too much time in the spotlight, but it was during that time that some of the most important synth music was produced.

The DX7 definitely disrupted the market in a huge way. Weirdly, it's mostly because keyboard players wanted something that sounded like a piano; a sound that filtered analogue saw waves aren't very good at emulating. Ironically, the DX7 doesn't sound much like a real piano, but in the mid-'80s it was a revelation, but it took people a while to realise that what they really liked were the synthetic sounds (resonant basses, sweeping pads) that DON'T sound like acoustic instruments. The synths of the early '80s that we still enjoy today sounded like nothing else; they sound like THEMSELVES.

I owned a JP-6 (also purchased in 1993 for a knockdown price of about $400) and absolutely loved it - it was what I felt a synth should be: a control panel full of buttons, knobs, sliders, cool colours and flashing lights. It was such a versatile synth and though it's signature string and techno sounds builts its reputation, I found it could do some beatutiful, soft ambient pads and effects that, for me, really made it a wonderful instrument to explore soundscapes on.

Easily the thinnest VCO-based polysynth. How do I know? I owned two JP-6's. It's decent, but very much a Jupiter 8 on a starvation diet. The versatile multimode filter is a strong selling point, however.

I may be wrong but I recon the JU6 relied totally on digital technology. I own a Prophet 600 and that just used digital technology for the envelopes and LFO's, as a result to my ears it sounds better.

Thinnest VCO polysynth until you play an Andromeda, or a Minilogue. Turn off the ensemble on a JP4 and its single VCO sounds pretty stark too. And don't forget the Six-Trak and all its VCO/CEM3394 buddies (the Max, Mult-Trak, Split-8, AX60 and AX73). But hey - not everything needs to sound all analog-gooey all the time. The JP6's crazy control ranges take you almost anywhere you could want to go, but it is a hard beast to tame as a result.

@@MegaBadgeman The JP-6 is a lot less digital than you are suggesting. The aspect that really hurts the P600 is the lack of resolution on many of the controls, especially resonance.

@@MegaBadgeman Both are especially crude in resolution. It's been more than 20 years since I had a P600 (got a Prophet 5 in 2000) but if memory serves me correctly they were both steppy.

Many assume the JP-6 is just a scaled down JP-8, but it's closer to a JX-8P with knobs on. Horrible things. Poor build quality, weedy sounding and the sliders would snap off due to using plastic faders instead of the metal ones they used on the JP-8 If you see one going, avoid it.

I toured with mine for years and it held up well. The metal sides helped. Agree on the sliders though - definitely had to replace more than and few, and find some new end caps. Also agree on the sound - it is 'weedy' but I think that's why it works as something different, more for techno I think.

@@johnnymorgansynthdreams The buttons were also cheap and nasty. I think there was a period when everyone was cutting corners, Moog, SCI, Emu were all turning very plasticy at one point. Remember my first use on a MemoryMoog and I pushed a button and a keycap flew across the room.

The sliders on the JP6 are not great, but they are metal. When I bought mine about 15 years ago, I also got a full set of replacement sliders from Technology Transplant. So far I've used two and given one away. Everything else including buttons and jacks have been pretty good though. I wouldn't say it's "weedy sounding", but I would say it's "more capable of weedy sounds" than other vintage analogs. Program something like a JX-8P or Juno-106 and you quickly realize that Roland has (over-) engineered out the ability for these instruments to make an ugly sound. They feel as though every sound you play is a variant of the the same patch. The Jupiter-6 can sound warm and beautiful, but without care it probably be shrill or harsh. Personally I like that. To me, it's more alive.

The Jupiter 6 has been a shit tier synth since day one and it will remain one forever. Don't buy one. Any VST is better sounding. If you want a cheap, god tier synth, buy a Jupiter 4 or a Korg Trident. They are the two remaining deals to be had in vintage synthesis.
