Thats what I did - bought a Novation KS-Rack back in June when it became obvious this thing wasnt shipping anytime soon - great little synth and rediculously cheap at the moment if you can still find them.

While I got it as a stop gap - Im using it alot now and actually I think I'll still use it alot when I get my TI.

Haha same over here, we ALL LOVE THE KS-RACK

Same here actually :)
Got a KS4 and it ROCKS(especially for the price...Got mine for 450$ USD).
Sounds much better than my jp8080 for trance...Wasnt expecting such great sounds out of that synth!

So you won't be needing that jp8080 anymore then? :lol:

Weird comparison, a 8080 and a novation!? I mean, don't you use the supersaw on the 8080?

vvanrij: Why would it be a weird comparison?
The supersaw was fun on the jp8080 but it takes so much room in a mix and is not very versatile...+ there is no onboard reverb on the JP and it's only 2 parts and 8 of polyphony...

On the ks4 I got 16 polyphony and 4 parts...And the best thing, I don't need to use all parts to make it sound good :)
jp8080 sounds aggressive when filter fully open...ks4 sounds smooth!

a 1 part patch from the ks4, no external effects.
I believe it sounds good :)

Thats what steep multi-mode/multi stage filters were invented for - abusing hoover sounds ;)

Ok, your going loco now :P

You can't compare them, and you just stated that, jp8080 aggressive, novation smooth etc.

Just think of em as both good synths, don't replace one...

Yeah you are right.
Both are very good, I've just been using the ks4 more as of lately :)
