ABECK Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I may be crazy, or just bored, but I find myself in familiar territory all over again. For the second time in my life, I just bought a Jupiter 80. The first go around, I only had it for a short time, but it didn't ideally fit my needs at the time. I hated to see it go and have had regrets swimming in my subconscious ever since. My needs have shifted slightly and I really need something that is a bit more performance oriented. I love my FA-08 and could continue on with it just fine. But, the heart wants what it wants. So, now I look forward to unboxing the beast one more time.

Bosendorphen Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I bought the exact same Polysix 11 years after I sold it. Found it at Guitar Center in the "used" section. I knew it was mine because it had all my custom patches. I recently bought another Kawai K4; loved its sounds, the resonant filter and the weight (16 pounds!).

I-missRichardTee Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Working as a music teacher in a local store, Left my JV1000 in a parking lot TWICE. The first time a sax player returned it to me.. Amazing. the second time, not so fortunate.. so I bought it used again. Edit if memory serves ( and is filled on JV ) I believe the selling price was $5300 back in early 90's! I STILL think there was something sonically special about that flagship keyboard. The succeeding JV sucked by comparison, and surprise surprise, was half the money. Then the Fantom came out.. and I have always felt the JV1000 triggered the bass sounds the best.. but have never received confirmation of this hunch.

piano39 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I bought a Casio VZ-1 when they were new (actually when they were blowing em out @ $459 new). Sold that after five years. Missed it and then bought a VZ-10M Module. Sold that. Missed it and then bought a VZ-8M Module. Don't really miss them now. They were way too hard to program, so you had to rely on the patches that Casio offered. Just wasn't enough of 'em. Does this count?

RABid Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 A few times over the years. In my opinion, if you really like a keyboard, get one for each hand. This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I consider redeveloping my "A" rig, things come to a grinding halt when I think about replacing the Jupiter. It is a fun keyboard to play, love the sounds, and it sits so well in a live mix. If forced to replace one of the keyboards in my rig (Kronos 88/Jupiter-80), I would keep the Jupiter.

Synthoid Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 If forced to replace one of the keyboards in my rig (Kronos 88/Jupiter-80), I would keep the Jupiter. That good? I have yet to see a Jupiter-80 anywhere for an audition after all these years. I really like the Kronos though but would like to give Roland a chance.

allan_evett Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Roland A70; I've had two of them. Yamaha TX-1P and P50m modules; two each of those. Then there's the Yamaha S90XS: Bought one in 2010, sold it in 2011; bought another in 2013, it's up for sale now. Have had two Nord Stages; still nowhere near Tony's record.

ABECK Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Many Hammond consoles, clavinets, and wurlis have passed thru my hands. Was this when they weren't outrageously priced? I always look at the original DX7 (which was my first pro keyboard) with thoughts of buying again. I have no idea why. I didn't like it then, and I'd probably still dislike it. I got it instead of the D-50, which had just come out. I always wished I got the D-50. Now that, is my white whale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
