Roland JX-08 Sound Module
In 1985, Roland released the innovative JX-8P analog synthesizer, a landmark instrument that helped pave the way for the digital synthesizers that followed. Its warm pads, shimmering chorus, and crystalline textures were instantly embraced by top session players. The JX-08 faithfully reproduces the unique sound of the original in stunning detail while adding powerful new effects, a polyphonic sequencer, and more. It also features a full panel of hands-on controls—derived from the original PG-800 programmer unit—to enhance your creative flow. Experience an authentic recreation of the JX-8P in a compact, portable instrument: the JX-08.
