16 parts. Does almost everything. JP8000 killing saw. Wavetables. Soundcard. Outstanding effects. Nicest keyboard build I've ever seen. You can burn the ROM. I paid 1150 delivered.
They are such a steal right now. The TIv1. Another 700 for the 2, but features are near identical.
The last truly superb synth before DAWs wiped the earth clean and made us forget what great hardware can do. Makers are so proud now to come up with four parts. ASM can only do one---beyond lame for any digital synth.

My new 2003 JJOS MPC 1000 drives it like a herd of Kawasaki H1 Mach IIIs
Turns out the best hardware sequencer in 2020 is also pre-daw and multi-skilled. Killin combo, as the TI does not sample. I love them, but I had to study---worth every tear.
Also note the pre-cursor to Korg's new plastic RasPI Super-Rompler. The 1000+ preset, great sounding JV1010. I have layers now like I never dreamed, another fun thing about multi-part. Proteus 1 in the shadows. I have a BCR-2000 coming to get some realtime mods going in those two 16 part Rompies. The rich channel gets a extra DM12, and RD-8 on Drums with plenty of sampled backup.
18 note Elka pedals get their channel, and Styolphone Gen R8 to eat those romples.
Playing this new setup I take a breath: Rome is certainly on fire. Midi DIN strewn like spaghetti. Laptop just shows my scores. Free at last.
