mad station with the jp 8000 i see :O i really want one of those...oh baby...
just a quick question mad - did you use the delay and reverb on the jp or an external reverb/delay unit/plugin?
EDIT:
i built a lead using a single patch on my virus b desktop and fruity delay, SIR reverb, 1 fruity compressor and 1 buzz effect adaptor just to position it in stereo! i scribbled down some settings for some of the pluck presets on the virus + mad station's sound as a reference and (predictably i suppose) it ended up sounding nothing like a jp. but. i think it sounds quite nice anyway:

there was quite a bit more post processing on this than on the others so far in this thread. SIR decided it wanted between 20 and 40% of my cpu straight off which annoyed my ASIO drivers causing lots of pops and crackles. so i had to rerecord with a latency of 20ms. i had to cut this static burst off the beginning. you can still hear part of it. dont know why its there but it has something to do with SIR (and my ASIO drivers probably). when i bounced it, i found there were alot of peaks where the filter cutoff was quite open/fully open. i used a compressor to squash some of those peaks and got about 2 to 3 dB extra headroom out of it. i used rymix's stereobox in the buzz effect adaptor in fruity and moved the centre and stereo width slightly to the right and to the left respectively. it will be slightly louder in the right channel but the pluck part now seems a little more separate from the sub and bass part of the lead.
during this process it was fed through 2 SIR reverbs, both using PCM91 hall impulse responses - it created a lush, washed out effect which smoothed out the filter sweep and made it overall feel wetter (which i like!).
as for the patch itself. its a single patch using all 3 oscillators (with the 3rd on saw) and the sub oscillator which is set to around 3 o clock. FM amount is set to about 11 o clock and the detune is 58 (unison is enabled at x4). i experimented with more detune but it started to sound like a dying mosquito and decided to keep some of the purity and simplicity in the sound.
i only used 1 of the filters for this (set the filter balance all the way to 2) on series 4, low pass. set cutoff 2 until cutoff 1 just emits a faint bassy rumble when full closed then widened it all the way. 0 resonance. 0 key follow. envelope amount set to around 10 o clock. theres a saturation curve on this set to rectifier and osc volume is set to around 3 o clock (made it sound very slightly harsher and more forward)!
the envelope is 0 attack and sustain for both filter and amp. decay for both envelopes set to around 1 o clock. release for both envelopes set to around 2 to 3 o clock.
LFO 1 is set to modulat pulse width for both oscillators 1 and 2 and its set positive and about half way up. LFO rate is fairly slow and is set to around 10 o clock.
