The onboard arpeggiator brings animated movement and rhythmic variety to your compositions. Together, these tools transform simple patches into evolving musical landscapes.
Portable & Connected
With USB-C audio/MIDI, full-size MIDI I/O, and external clock input, the JD-08 integrates seamlessly with computer DAWs, MIDI gear, and analog systems.
