To late for my JX. First, every 8th (or was it 12th?) keys was stopping
to produce sound (but they still sended MIDI signals), so I was able to
use it as a MIDI controller (one of the best keyboards I ever used) and
use another MIDI controller for triggering the jx-sounds. Then I could
not do program changes, and then it stopped to make sounds - all this
within two weeks.
It does exist some Juno SW synths for MS Windows and Mac, but I won't use
it. I'm usually pragmatic and do use both Mac and Windows for work (Linux
is still main OS there also), but here, I run native Linux on everything
and don't want to run another OS in my studio.
Have you tried Whysynth? It's pretty nice and somewhat underused.

I realize
that nothing is like the real thing, but hope that i can
find something that's close enough, or even better.
Google for survival kits and CEM/Curtis chips. If you just wish to get
the sounds characteristics of some vintage synth and you should be
willing to use Apple or Microsoft, than you'll find some proprietary
soft synth there. I dunno if they will do something similar to the
sound you need from the JX-8P. If you need the full CEM sound quality,
than you definitively get stuck. Better? If you expect something completely new,
than yes, you might
find something better, but if you expect something that sounds like
vintage synth, than all soft synth are less good, far away from the
originals.
Well, I think I might try to get a new one again but also consider to see
if I can make amSynt or even take my time to learn Yoshimi and see if it
can do the job.
