   The Roland Jupiter series sound so good because of the following:
        1. Stereo Output
        2. Built in Chorus Circuit(probably a BBD)
   If you check out all the presets you like, you'll probably find that
the chorus circuit is ENGAGED.  These comments are not to slander the
Roland Jupiter 6 in any way (I have a Planet-S, which is the rack mount
version of the JX3P and am pleased with it) but to simply state the facts.
If you find another synth you really like but you think the Roland still
sounds better, try piping the "other" synth through some signal processor
(like a delay line) and compare them under these conditions; or if you
can't do that, try to edit the patch on the Roland and disengage the
chorus circuit. You will find that with chorus OFF the jupiter is average.
