JX-08 Sound Module Boutique Synthesizer – Compact, Modern Reissue of the Legendary Roland JX-8P from 1985 with New Effects, Polyphonic Sequencer, and More – Lightweight, Portable

Its a very nice sound and built quality to early to say more, but I hear people complain about lack of warmth, but to me its nice. If you have any doubts just bung a analogue delay or chorus like, like say a BEHRINGER UC200 ULTRA STEREO CHORUS PEDAL £24.99 etc. well worth the money! I paired mine with an M Audio oxygen 61, Its a way to add aftertouch for 200 quid wow. But for overal peformance and sound and a good enough qaulity keyboard Im still amazed by by casio CTX5000! 350 quid! amazing, thanks Roland thanks Casio

Great sound, very easy to make some great patches. Not as fiddly as i thought it would be being so small. Very well built.

As a stand alone unit it's great for capturing that classic 80s sound, it reminds me very much of my old Juno 6 especially the chorus settings. My problem is getting the midi to connect to my Reaper DAW, the USB C works but their is a nasty static buzz, which is useless for recording with. It's well made and quite solid.

Small & compact but that doesn't affect the quality and professional sounds , just be aware Mr Sausage Finger .

I do love the boutique range but there are a few annoyances, the early ones are no longer being supportive - good luck if you are using a Mac! And there is no racking solution from Roland! If you have more than two units, you need to be good at DIY to make a tidy solution, but if you are, the results are sweeeeeeet!

When this synthesizer was announced by Roland I knew I wanted it. And I couldn't be more pleased with it. It sounds gorgeous and even though there is a lot of "hidden" functionality, it is easy enough to learn to use. I would even go as far as suggesting this could be a good first synth for serious beginners, because it offers so much, you will be able to get a lot out of it. I particularly like the bi-timbrality, which effectively means you get two synthesizers for the price of one. I also like the wide range of built in effects. As far as the synthesis, very old school but with a few great twists such as a lot of destinations of the two envelopes, which means that you can make this subtractive synthesizer almost sound like an FM synthesizer. Very impressive. The sequencers are also pretty impressive with 64 steps and full motion control. I can highly recommend this, but if you buy this as your first synthesizer, please note that you will need a keyboard, either the Roland K-25m or better still a 4 or 5 octave (DIN) MIDI keyboard, ideally with aftertouch.

You actually get TWO JX-8P synths inside this synth - you can layer them for big sounds. That, plus the Ultimate Patches upgrade are what makes this synth one of Roland's best synths in recent years.

Mimics the Roland synth well and takes up very little room. Controls a bit fiddly but with the module size that's to be expected. Anyone buying one of these more than likely knows what they're getting. No problems.

Los sonidos son bastante decentes, no son como el original pero tienen su propio carácter. Además no ocupa mucho espacio en la mesa de trabajo. Lo recomiendo

Añoraba el Juno 60 y similares de los 80 y este módulo satisface mis deseos.

Trotz diverser tools von thomann (das ist nicht mein erster Synth mit Usb Netzteil) ist der JX08 nicht benutzbar, es sei denn man nutzt in nur über das integrierte Interface. Live absolut unmöglich, weiters hatte mein Modell einen Wackelkontakt bei beiden outs - auch hier mit diversen Kabeln (wo eines bereits 30 euro kostet und somit knapp ein Zehntel des Produkts...) getestet und Fehlanzeige. Ging zurück, leider.

C'est l'expander du MKS70 avec en plus une polyphonie qui passe de 12 à 20 notes. Aujourd'hui le MKS70 se négocie à plus de € 1000.00 et plus si on lui ajoute le prgrammateur. Avec ce module tout est compris le module de son ainsi que les curseurs. Il faut juste ajouter une alimentation si possible séparée en USB-C

Awesome! Best Boutoqie yet. Finally one with decent polyphony. Very sweet sounds spanning from juicy JX brass and pads to Juno-esque squelches and leads. It begs to be programmed, and can go beyond the original JX-8P. Snappy envelopes and three filter types. Effects are a nice addition and plenty of room for patches. Only thing I could wish for is a second LFO, but limitations can be inspiring. A must buy!
