The Roland Boutique JD-08 Sound Module with Keys combines the JD-08 Sound Module with the K-25m Keyboard, turning the module into a fully-fledged synthesizer with keys. The JD-08 takes the design and sound of the JD-800 and houses it within this compact and portable synth.
From bottom to top, the module behaves and sounds like the original JD-800, thanks to advanced sound modelling. Roland has authentically replicated the classic sound of the JD-800, which played a major part in the 90s EDM scene, with many iconic tracks being produced using this synth.
The JD-08 is a sound designer’s dream, featuring all 108 original waveforms complete with the original 64 presets and an additional 21 new presets. It also includes a two-part 65-step polyphonic sequencer with a motion recorder, random pattern generator, and enough memory to store up to 128 patterns. An onboard arpeggiator allows for the creation of melodic rhythms.
While staying true to the original, the JD-08 features a range of upgrades, including expanded polyphony and an integrated USB-C audio/MIDI interface. The original JD-800’s unique two-stage multi-effects section has been meticulously recreated, and the JD-08 offers a four-part structure for advanced tone layering. The portable design can be powered via 4 x AA batteries or via USB-C for maximum flexibility.
