Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The JX-08 is a compact Roland Boutique synthesizer built around the JX-8P control approach, with the PG-800 programming functions available from its panel. It adds 111 presets, four-voice polyphony, 17 effects algorithms, and a 64-step polyphonic sequencer with motion recording and pattern randomization. Dual timbres allow two patches to be split or layered across a keyboard. Battery power and an onboard speaker suit portable idea-building, while USB, MIDI and external clock input support integration with a larger setup. The supplied Decksaver cover protects the controls and connectors in transit.
