Classic sound. In modern form.
The original design of the JX-8P is retained in this modern version, but we've added a number of new features that take the playing experience to a new level. Explore over 100 new patches tuned for contemporary styles or design your own sounds using the built-in controls. And with expanded polyphony, two-part multitimbral functionality and dual/divided modes, you have even more room to develop your sound ideas. Once you've found your zone, save your creations and easily recall them using any of the 256 preset slots.
Even deeper effects.
The JX-08 features 17 powerful effects, many of which are new to the Roland Boutique line. Make your JX patches shine with classic chorus, phaser and delay options, or play around with overdrive, fuzz, bit crusher and the new lo-fi compressor. Filters and pitch shifters are also available to add extra dimension and character to your sounds.
Music that moves.
Once you've completed your patches, launch the two-part polyphonic sequencer and start programming main melodies, basses or basic chords to sync with other tracks in your electronic file. To inject more energy into your sounds, use the motion recording and built-in arpeggiator to make your tunes dance.
MIDI, USB and external clock input.
The JX-08 has a built-in audio/MIDI interface with USB-C so you can play, record and sync with all types of computer production software. Full MIDI inputs/outputs are also available for interfacing with other MIDI hardware. There's even an external clock input for controlling the JX-08's built-in sequencer and arpeggiator from vintage analog instruments and modern Eurorack systems.
Grab the keys. And hit the road.
The JX-08's compact size means it fits absolutely anywhere and is easily controlled from a master keyboard or DAW. It can run on standard AA batteries for hours of undisturbed jamming, and also has a built-in speaker for on-the-go audio monitoring. Add the DK-01 Boutique Dock for a sleek look and three handy tilt positions, or get the K-25m keyboard unit to create a fully self-contained portable instrument.
