What else I could add to previous Steve and Sam comments? VAZ is so great that I firmly I'm uncertain about buying JP8000 or VAZ modular (new version which allows you to create complet new sinthesizers from 35 modules).
I would like to correct the price on the first VAZ page, is not $1350 but $35, a huge difference. By this $35 you get a two oscillators synth with 2 envelopes, 2 or 4 poles filters with resonance, two lfo, ring modulatr, wavetable engine (almost sampler), overdrive, arpegiator, 16 steps sequencer (with random creation), wave export, FM modulation, midi sync, overdrive, poliphony, but also, solo and unison modes (unison with detune among oscilators and # of active oscillators selectable), great library of patches, ... well lots and lots of things difficult to find toghether on a hardware synth.
On my "old" Pentium 100 Mhz allows 5 voices poliphony (it means 10 oscillators simulated, with lots of modulation on each one) and linked to the sequencer. The sequencer can have 16 patterns, you can select them from the master keyboard, and transpose it from the master keyboard, becuase you can split it for both things. If it inly export midi, you could use it for replacing wonderfull TechnoToys's Seq 303 v.2.
Remember, just $35, I'm not earning money if you buy it, but I'm happy helping Martin Fay to sell more, (Thanks Martin for such great-cheap thing!).
Today there are phantastic soft synths, I think that the future of hardware synth is uncertain, in this sense Reality, Orangator, AudioArchitect, Virtual Waves, and some more are great synths comparable to the old modulars, probably more expandable. With VAZ+ 1.6 we are in front of the for-all-times Jupiter8 soft synt. Today, a classic.
100 out of 100.
