ROLAND JX-08 | Boutique Sound Module

JX-08  Sound Module

Authentic recreation of the Roland JX-8P synthesizer in a modern, portable instrument

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.
