All parts?
So in theory, you could call a zillion dealers, collect all the parts and assemble a JP8K from the ground up :smoke:

Roland Should still be able to obtain spares for the JP from Japan,i had to order some Potentiometers for mine last year,and the guy said they can get most parts,but it'll usually take anything up to 12 weeks..

I would say you should be able to still obtain parts for most synths of the last 15-20 years from Roland or Korg and Yamaha ,alot of the more common components are usually cross bred into other synths,things like Keybeds and Pitchbenders or knobs dials etc,if the synth is more exclusively made in smaller numbers then you'd probably have to try and source either a broken machine or have some sort of special Order by the manufacturer which will be considerably more expensive,than an off the shelf part

I think it depends on the manufacturer(the more succesful the name brand the more chance of spares)and how commercially well the synth did when it was released,the more popular the synth was the more likelyhood of spares availibility now,I have had no problem whatsoever obtaining spares from Korg so far back as the M1,so that pretty much almost 20 years ago and most of the components are availible for the M1 and virtually every other synth since 88 as there would have been a larger scale production of the components,on more popular instruments so spares would also be ordered as a backup,and excess components usually would be put into a stock situation for future use..

I'd try your local roland Distributor and ask to see if they can get the parts,they usually have a computer system with exploded diagrams and can pinpoint the exact Part reference numbers and chack stock availibilty etc

Thanks I'll check it out. I like these demos on youtube where you can actually watch the tweaking and playing.

Do you think that's the JP8080 used or the MK ?

According to jarrography, the EMS Vocoder 2000 was used on Metamorphoses, but I still think the JP-8080 was used for at least some of it, besides those vocoder parts in Rendez-Vous in Space (unless it was TK's MS2k) and later tracks like Light My Sky.

What do you mean ?
The feedback oscillator is used for this patch, and JMJ used it for Revolutions solo aswell as Magnetic Fields 1 intro during the Moscow concert.
He used quite a lot the JP8k in the intros of tracks during the Oxygène Tour, together with another synth providing the beautiful choirs. However, I still duno which synth is it...
