A 'gay' synth?  What are you people in the land of the midnight sun
smoking/drinking?  That 200 proof Polish vodka ('Polmos')?  Send me a
bottle!!

BTW, the JP-6 is good (can't speak to the MKS-80), but the JP-8 is quite
different in character - more 'lush', not as nasal or 'stringy'.  I had 'em
both, at the same time, $700US each.  Back when 'analogue' meant 'crappy old
technology', hehe.

Worth hunting up an 8, but count on maintenance from a good tech every 3
years or so.  The US power supply tended to run hot, fall out of calibration
(?) and cause a variety of flaky behavior.  And the fake 'edit' message from
contamination in the sliders (my bad - we smoked around it constantly).
