Once, I have a jx305, but sold it. The modulation spak dont worked. Then, I heard it have some bugs too wiht midi sendings.
It is an interesting machine. But you can make an equally interesting machine by getting an ALESIS QS6.1 and putting a techno card into it. Woala. This alesis has 4 independently effect processors, 305 has only one. You can put new sounds in this alesis from your computer/card. The midi functions must be great becouse this is an update of a quite old synt, so all bugs are gone. You have a midi card inside alesis, so you dont need midi card in your computer. Alesis dont have a sequencer, but you can make things better on a computer!
Actually, I liked the 305 synth. Great all in one. Great sounds. But I never have a midi card in my computer, so I dont know how it is to use its midi. There is system upgrades for the 305, sys 1.06, that may fix some bugs.
The problem is that it was hard to make some music with the build in sequencer. But I made some great patterns. The big advantage of 305 is that all its cabability is easy to use, all cnobs are great, real time. So, maybe it is a great synth anyway.
