The Roland JX-08 is a faithful recreation of the JX-8P synthesizer and is part of the Roland Boutique family. As a hybrid keyboard design, the JX-8P merged analog synthesis with digital control. The warm pads produced by the original hardware have made the JX-08 sought-after in the synth community. Now, you can have access to those vintage sounds along with modern workflow benefits.
Released in 1985, the original JX-8P was used by artists such as Tangerine Dream, Depeche Mode, The Cure, and famously on Europe’s hit “The Final Countdown”. The JX-08 comes packed with over 100 presets, including 32 presets from the original hardware, allowing you to experience the sonic splendor of that era.
While the JX-08 stays true to the authentic sound of the JX-8P, it also offers modern design features. It includes the programmable functions of the PG-800 programmer, which was an essential companion to the original hardware. This allows for complete hands-on control and eliminates the need for additional units. The JX-08 is compact, lightweight, and portable, with the option of battery or USB-C power.
With USB-C audio/MIDI interface connection options, you can easily integrate the JX-08 with MIDI hardware and DAW production software. It also features an external clock feature, allowing you to drive the onboard sequencer and arpeggiator with external sources like vintage hardware and Eurorack systems.
The JX-08 is packed with features for the modern musician. It includes an onboard arpeggiator, two-part polyphonic sequencer with motion recording and random pattern generation, and up to 128 pattern memory. It also offers 17 new effects, such as JUNO-106 chorus, SDD-320 reverb, lo-fi comp, and more.
The Roland JX-08 is the most authentic recreation of the JX-8P, with a modern design that enhances workflow and brings your tracks and productions to life. It comes with a quick start guide, a leaflet on using the unit safely, and 4 AA batteries.
