Hallo,
Ik kan dit weekend een Jupiter 8 kopen met flightcase, er waren 2 slechte oscillatoren maar hij is nu gereviseerd door Roland met garantie erbij. Alleen is het een 'ouder' model (12 bit), serienummer 07XXXX.
Nu lees ik dit op het net :

"The 12-bit problem on early models causes the Autotune to be innacurate rather than making the synth unstable, it can actually knock the synth slightly off kilter even if it is perfectly set up inside, thesedays it is less of a problem than when new as a bit of voicecard bandiness can give character, Fine on a CS80 but on the JP8 it annoyed me so I sold it and have now got a tidier late one with MIDI."

"The original Jupiter 8 was released in 1981. Throughout the production of the JP-8 there were a few changes made. Starting at serial #171700 the D/A converter on the Interface board was changed from 12-bit to 14-bit format. This change was made mainly to improve tuning stability. The problem with the 12-bit digital-to-analog converter on the original JP-8 is that it could cause the autotune to be innacurate in some instances. Some say to avoid these early JP-8's while others say they haven't experienced tuning problems."

"I have an early Jupiter 8, rev. 1.0 S/N 0906XX While the tuning complaints of numerous early rev owners can't be ignored. My Jup tunes well and holds."
Daarnaast kan ik ergens anders een 14 bit kopen, maar zonder flightcase en 150 euro duurder.
Zijn er forumgenoten die hier meer info over kunnen geven ?
PLEASE HELP ME OUT !!
Alvast bedankt,
Peter
