The JP8 is not a perfect synth by any means. But its sweet spot is pretty large and at times it can make the perfect synth sound. Shimmery PWM pads, sawtooth drones, unison bass and beautiful arpegios are its strong points. Alot of money for simple sounds......but useful nonetheless.
All your observations are correct and a matter of taste. Personally I prefer the tone of the 12 bit. I now have a 14 bit and its a bit more clinical. But still....its a good analog poly to use.
It fills in the gaps where VA sound less convincing.
Im interested to know what your favourite sounding analog poly is. Prophet 5 by any chance?
