Some common Mishaps about this fine machine.
YES it has pulsewith modulation ,only not on both dco lines. Switch crosmod to position 1 tune both dco's to same pitch , select square wave and open lfo to pitch slider to modulate dco2, hey presto PWM.
The mks 70 and jx10 are not just 2 jx8p's bolted together, they have a function over the 8p that is vital in synthiworld, the filter res fully oscillates, not on the 8p.
Ive owned about every analog on the planet , including all rolands and the mks70 is probably there best achievement, does every type of sound well (ALSO basses if you can program that is) , very sleek and wide sounding, very prophet 5 rev3 type brass. Pads are better than anything from oberheim that i owned (tjee that OB8 was no match for this) and they are CHEAP compared to other polys. typical around 450 USd for mks 70 with pg800.
A software editor is not a substitute for a pg 800 , be sure you get the programmer or you wil never get the best out of this machine.
All of the rolands (jupe 8 , sh5,jupe6 etc) lack an organic sound or sound to electronic (sh5 is incapable of anything else than sounding like a 1976 version of reaktor software) BUT the mks70 /jx10 are the exceptions.
Really a must buy for the synthlover.
take care
