Not sure EightyEight would be such a good name in this case. EightyEight, but with two digits, is used by f*cking n**i scum. Most people would probably not care, or even know, but for some it could come across as a pretty bad association. I’d probably go with something that does not carry that kind of baggage.

I know 18 is, never heard of 88

It's very unlikely to have any repercussions

Don't know about 18, but 14. However, 88 would be the initials.

There was a band called Combat18 (18 being AH) I assume 88 is HH

Aah, yes, not sure why I wrote “initials”, 18 would be the initials, ofc. Anyway, we had an ice cream in Sweden called Nogger Black. The original Nogger had a chocolate coating, while Nogger Black had a licorice coating. There was a massive backlash around the name and campaign, and the product was eventually discontinued.

88 is two fat ladies in British bingo

I just remembered there is an ice cream in Sweden called 88:an. There was some controversy around it, but I believe the ice cream was created in the 60s, long before “88” had that kind of association.

Anyway, back to synth talk :wink:

I have demo'ed the juno 60 four times along the way, and the cs-80 twice in the last two weeks.
There are several reasons why I bought neither, so I may not be a customer, but the one thing I would have to say is they both sound bloody great.
So even though there are a few jupiter 8 emulations already (only one bi timbral), I am sure yours will be among the best sounding.

Well, in case you own a Jupiter 4, Korg Lambda or an Ensoniq Fizmo - I would gladly pay for either of these.
