First, Sioux rocks again!  Nice work.  8O)

  Lastly, I love my JP-8000, but not enough to marry it.  It is sufficient to fool my ears into thinking it is analog, but my ears are not nearly as seasoned as other A6 members.
  I think it is a good VA for a novice, like myself.  Much like my Red Sound Dark Star, it's simplicity (compared to the Andy) makes it a great tool for teaching myself oscillator modulation and assigning controllers is a breeze.  Recording knob/slider movements with it's motion sequence feature is always a good sell for me, since I have always stayed out of the realm of computers when it comes to my programming.
  I find myself not getting serious because I sit there and tweak and tweak.  It is fun and it's very easy to lose myself in it.
  The step-by-step manual is very easy to understand and not nearly as hieroglyphic as my other Roland manuals.
  My unit seems to suffer from a ground loop problem at the moment.  With the volume turned all the way down, it hums when I plug it in and hums twice as loud upon power up.
  Certain features are not shared with the JP-8080 and vice versa.

It is my only other full-sized synth and I will never part with it.
