I'm still early stages with the v-collection. I've had the 2600 since the first version. Another synth I can spend months playing with and still not feel I know it.

I had not seen the PG-8X, will maybe check it out.

I've got at least 2 different 2600 VSTs (the Arturia one and another that came bundled with an MPK Mini). Definitely seems like one of the worst synths to use as a software instrument relative to the hardware in terms of the amount of controls and patch points.

PG-8X is wonderful, if you like the JX-8P of course. From what I've seen the JX-8P has almost DX7 levels of polarising opinions between people. I recently picked up Roland's Boutique version (the JX-08) and even though it's just their ZenCore VST (a league below PG-8X IMO) in a box, it's still wonderful to use.

I've seen some great tutorials on the physical 2600 and it's almost made sense to me. Then I go back to the software and lose the plot.
