## Description

An ’80s icon on your tabletop. In 1985, Roland’s innovative JX-8P took hybrid synthesis a step further with a compelling new analog-digital voice. The instrument was instantly embraced by top session players, who forever embedded its warm pads, shimmery chorus, and crystalline textures into the era’s most popular tracks. The JX-08 reintroduces the unique sound of this sought-after classic in stunning detail, coupled with powerful new effects, a polyphonic sequencer, and more. And to enhance your creative flow, there’s a full panel of hands-on controls derived from the companion PG-800 programmer unit for the original hardware.

Review: excelente synth , muy versatil, es pequeño en efecto por ser boutique, los faders como son pequeños al moverlos los cambios pueden ser drasticos en algunos parametros pero hay que ser sutil al moverlos y todo bien, complementado con el teclado es una joya. la verdad lo volveria a comprar sin ninguna objeción, es el synth que buscaba, cubre muy bien para bajos, pads, leads con un sonido 90s y moderno. deep house, house, disco y progressive es lo que produzco y le logro sacar bastantes sonidos acorde al genero y otros. es complejo de usar por los layers que tiene en sus funciones pero con conocimiento de sintesis y flujo de señal mas el manual se logra entender todas sus funcionalidades perfecto. lo amo gracias .
Review: Arrived within 3 days and was fairly easy to set up in my DAW Ableton and get up and running. Sound: The JX-08 is very similar sounding to an original JX8P although it's not exact. The JX8P is definitely a little warmer and richer to my ears. This isn't a problem for me though, because for what the JX-08 lacks in sounding like a true exact replica, it makes up for in modern features and having it's own unique sound. Features: Connecting this Roland Boutique into my iMac using USB and having the audio and midi coming through simultaneously is truly marvellous. This was the biggest selling point for me which convinced me to purchase, asides from wanting this module for the sound of it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with a 61 note midi keyboard or is it only good for 2 octaves ?**
A: This has midi in and out. Use a midi cable and you can use it with ANY keyboard both directions. I often use mine as a battery powered midi keyboard, and sometimes as a module w/ larger keyboards

*by F***N on 21 September 2022*

First, I've been using and programming Synthesizers since 1972 with my first ARP 2600 so I do know my way around most of them. I never owned the original JX8P when it was introduced in 1985, I was too involved with my Yamaha DX7. However I did get to work with one that a friend of mine owned and i was sort of sorry I had the DX7. Anyway fast forward..Roland has hit a home run with the JX-08. It is everything that the original JX8P was and more. Pros: Full set of hands-on controls, taken from the PG-800 programmer unit from the original JX8P. This makes this Synth so easy to program. 20 Voice Polyphony, not that I can play 20 notes at a time but when creating effects it sets this Synth way up there. It’s Bi‑Timbral. This means the two Parts in the JX‑08 can be split or layered across the keyboard and can be used to create some of the lushest pads you’ve ever heard as well as complex sounds that would be impossible to obtain using a single Part. Arpeggiator (JX8p did not have one) Sequencer (JX8p did not have one) which is 2 part, 64 steps, 8 notes per part (Polyphonic) 17 new Effects including a new designed Chorus 256 Preset Slots Velocity Sensitive & Aftertouch Solid Build Small Footprint (perfect for my Workstation Setup yet still the controls are all very easy to use and not too small) 5 Pin MIDI In/Out Clock In USB Port for connection to Power or Computer Some Great Third Part Sound Packs like the ones from Ultimate Patches Battery Powered Option - For me not really a big deal Built in "Speaker" - For me not really a big deal Cons: If you are new to Synths this is a little more difficult to learn that many others on the market but with time and the abundance of online demos you will learn how to use it if you are patient. None really except if I want to be picky, Roland should include a USB Cable instead of the cheap set of batteries. I think that their K25M Keyboard Dock is over priced, you are better off with any other MIDi Interface/Keyboard from AKAI, Arturia or Novation among other. These will give you much more versatility especially if you have other Synths or Modules. This for me is not really a Con just a point you should know, if you are thinking that the JX-08 will sound exactly like the Original JX8P it doesn't. Oh it's very close in many ways and with some tweaking it can be almost identical but it was NOT Roland's intention for it be an exact Clone. The one biggest difference is in the Sound/Voice emulations. The original used a technology known as Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB), this JX-08 uses Analog Circuit Modeling (ACM). These are 2 very different approaches to how the Synths makes their sounds and by this very nature they would never sound identical. Also you should know that the Original JX8P's had several Revisions in its life from 1985-1989 which made each Revision sound just a bit different from previous models, so which one can you really compare this JX-08 to? Bottom line, don't try to compare just enjoy how powerful, beefy, melodic and lush this Synth sounds.
