A compact powerhouse reviving an iconic synth with modern enhancements.
The Roland JX-08 Boutique module recaptures the magic of the legendary JX-8P analog/digital crossover synthesizer from 1985 in an ultracompact form factor. This faithful recreation resurrects every nuance of the JX-8P's hybrid tone—from shimmering pads to crystalline leads—that made it a fixture on countless hit records. But the JX-08 also expands on the original with modern enhancements like new effects, expanded polyphony and onboard sequencing to inspire fresh creativity.
Classic Synth, Modern Production Power
Right out of the box, the JX-08 puts you in command of the iconic JX-8P interface with its familiar hands-on control panel. All the original's functions are present, including the PG-800 programmer for sculpting patches from the ground up. But Roland didn't simply recreate the JX-8P—they evolved it. Explore a universe of new sounds with 111 fresh presets voiced for contemporary styles. The expanded 4-voice polyphony lets you play more complex chord progressions and sequenced lines.
Unmatched Effects for Lush Textures
While the JX-8P was celebrated for its chorus effect, the JX-08 takes modulation to a new level with 17 unique effects algorithms. Thicken up pads and keys with lush ensemble effects like the iconic JUNO-106 chorus and SDD-320 reverb. Get gritty with overdrive, fuzz and a lo-fi compressor for adding crunch and aggression. You can even sculpt radical filter sweeps and transpose intervals with the pitch shifter. With all these tools at your fingertips, the JX-08 lets you expand on the JX-8P's legendary vibe.
Sequence, Split and Layer With Ease
Compose entire arrangements directly from the JX-08 with the onboard 64-step polyphonic sequencer. Program leads, basslines and chord progressions with the motion recording feature or randomize patterns for unexpected results. The sequencer and synth engine both support dual timbres so you can split or layer two different patches across the keyboard. An arpeggiator brings animated movement to static sequences. Synchronize it all via USB, MIDI or the external clock input for a compact, self-contained groovebox.
Built for Mobility and Flexibility
Compact and road-ready, the JX-08 is tailor-made for mobile music production. It can run on batteries for hours of uninhibited jamming, with a built-in speaker for monitoring your sounds. Integrate it seamlessly into any studio with its USB/MIDI interface and I/O. The included Decksaver cover keeps controls and connectors protected during transport. Dock it with Roland's K-25m keyboard for an all-in-one synth. However you use it, the JX-08 delivers the iconic JX tone with modern versatility.
