I don't know ...

the MKS 80 sounds very "electronic" to me. Also the VCOs and the filter sound thinner than on a Juno 60. I am proud to have it but never use it. The warmth is missing. I cannot imagine that a JP 8 sounds similar. For an analogue synth, MKS 80 sounds very digital or edgy

.

Is there something wrong with my unit that it sounds as it sounds? The unisono mode also does not appeal, too raw and not organic for my taste. Try the prophet 08 in unisono mode!
