Description
The Roland Boutique JX-08 recreates the iconic 1985 JX-8P hybrid synth with its warm pads, shimmery chorus, and crystalline textures. It includes 32 original presets plus 111 new sounds, PG-800 programmer functions, an onboard arpeggiator, and a two-part, 64-step polyphonic sequencer with motion recording and random pattern generation. Seventeen versatile effects—like JUNO-106 chorus, SDD-320 reverb, lo-fi compressor, super filter, and pitch shifter—add depth and character. Expanded polyphony (up to 20 voices) and two-part multitimbral capability allow dual and split setups. USB-C audio/MIDI, full-size MIDI I/O, and external clock input ensure seamless integration with DAWs and hardware. Compact, battery-powered, and built with a metal front panel, the JX-08 is perfect for studio, live, or mobile music creation.
