I tweaked about for a few days and didn't like it. To me, a box has to me immediate - if I have to worry about gainstaging to get a decent sound out of it, I'm not interested. The sound was just underpowered to me. Totally different from a JP6, and not giving me what I wanted. Seemed easy to make whizz bang sounds with layers and effects etc, but raw synth voices were strangely flatulent.

I have never tried a Jupiter 4 so I don't know. I do love the Jupiter 6 though.

I think it has crazy power - excuse the crappy recording

to my ears I always liked the sound of the JP4 for some reason

Decided to go with the Rev 2 Prophet 5, thanks for the help!

was it the sound cloud that helped?

here's the same song but with a single pass of Andromeda rather than 3 panned out

Haha, na, I decided that both A6 and Prophet 5 are really good, however, Andromeda is much harder to use, and I am not very good at synthesis yet.

Not to mention Andromedas are not that rare right now, meanwhile Prophet R2 5's are getting more and more rare.

I will just have P5 for now, and when I have more cash and more experience grab the A6 too. Not to even mention the fact that when that happens, the P5 price would be even more insane due to rarity, so yea.


P.S. If anyone needs A6 (Chinese), mint condition at 3k USD (location Europe, shipping internationally) then PM me.
