I bought it for what it is - a sub $50 yet REAL instrument! ❤
I love it for what it is - a pocket JP8000 ❤

[systemno]

Great demo, thanks! I’m gonna get one now that they added MIDI in! =)

[federicobravi]

Very nice vid, keep doing what you're doing. Earned a sub!

[johngalvin]

I have a JT-4000 and think it's awesome, I still need to learn how to get the most out of it but that's the fun bit. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Respect.

[elicas]

Great for someone like wanting to experiment with this type of equipment. Thank you

[PatternRecognitionMusic]

For fifty bucks, I think it's pretty cool. Great demo!

[lundsweden]

People call this a toy. Legendary electronic pioneers Kraftwerk used toys, such as the kid centric Mattel Beegees, Casio VL-1, Speak n spell, Stylophone and the wonderfully lo-fi Optigan.

[SolarLantern]

Loved it. Brings a whole new dimension to 3 blind mice! Cant wait to hear more from the JT4000
Hold it down!

[etiennedevignolles]

I've just got mine. All I've done so far is to update the software, but when I get home tomorrow, I'm having a play around with it!

[NikosKatsikanis]

can you plug this into a aux-in 3.5 on a guitar amp? tempted to dual weild this with my guitar by clamping it on

[Raku]

Thanks for sharing. I am inspired to get one of these synths because of its price, its friendliness to ambient music, and your video. Blessings. PS Looking forward to a DAW-less experiment that you mention you might do with this unit.

[anamorphicalan]

I am new to music design forgive my limited knowledge. I play wind and string instruments.
Is this good for hobby making music?
Also will it connect to MacBook with type c?
Also what programs must I use with it?
Thank you very much.

[christopherdean]

I have this and feel really limited. It sounds good but the connectivity lacks.

[xisotopex]

a good and creative musician can get just about anything our of an instrument, and this being a 4 voice synth, a good musician could absolutely do great ambient music with this in their pallet....

[conzept]

Hey! Is it possible to run MIDI melodies through it and use it as external synth?

[BoomBubbleBustRepeat]

Wish people would stop crying about what this thing doesn't have... it is only $49 bucks. I just paid $9 for a box of cereal from Walmart, I am going to just accept what it is and not bore the self checkout attendant with all stuff I WISH was in my box of cereal.

[cartellimarroni]

Ok... But is it possible to do this without a daw, PC etc..?

[francescomarino]

come si configura per usare i comandi dal jt-4000?

[shinezacharias]

so if this connected to ipad n i pad to keystep in keystep 4 channels i can play like this

[rextopher]

do we have that work-around yet? Maybe a lil split power and midi adapter?
