Roland's first virtual analog synth.
via Wikipedia: "The Roland JP-8000 was released in early 1996 as part of the first wave of virtual analog modeling synthesizers (VA synths). Others from that period included the Clavia Nord Lead (1995), Korg Prophecy (1995), Access Virus (1997) and Yamaha AN1x (1997). While the functionality, sound, and architecture of the JP-8000 differs from these other synthesizers, it shared the same purpose of recreating the unique sound and functionality of classic analog synths. The JP-8000 was viewed at the time as the modern incarnation of the classic Roland Jupiter-8, from 1981. The programming interface and synthesis options are very similar to Roland Jupiter-6 as well. The JP-8000 sought to reproduce the warm tonalities and sheer analog power of its older, bigger brothers, of course with a modern slant, adding all kinds of features, from motion control, to RPS, to the fabled Super Saw oscillators and old-school controllers such as an arpeggiator and an assignable touch response ribbon control..."
