Is the JP-8000 multitimbral? I get conflicting info. If it is, how multitimbral and, either way, is it a good idea to get this synth just starting out (interested in ambient techno--Aphex,Autechre, etc.)with no other equipment besides Cakewalk Prof. 7?

Thanks

The jp-8000 is a 2 part synth...The JP-8000 can be used for a lot of styles, it all depends on how you use it.
