Description: 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. Boutique JX-08 reintroduces the unique sound of this sought-after classic in stunning detail, coupled with powerful new effects, a polyphonic sequencer and more. And to enhance your creative flow, there's a full panel of hands-on controls derived from the companion PG-800 programmer unit for the original hardware.
