Roland JX-08 SEQUENCING /Too cool Not to Have it ;)

[@magnuseriksson8081]

By far the best demo of this Synth. Roland’s demo was a joke if you ask me. This is perfect! Unreal! Love it ✨

[@davgal93]

excellent quels sons

[@gabriel-dan4098]

Brilliant! thanks for sharing,

[@fredrikh9299]

I´m so happy with my JX-08. 2 part/20 voices with very close resemblance to the silky pads and bouncy pluck sounds of JX8P.

[@user-or3ce4gt2r]

Beautiful!

[@glenesis]

Ha. This video sold me on it a year ago. It's fantastic. Thanks!

[@9877joseph]

I could listen to this all day!

[@petergrummich730]

amazing bassline like the klinik ,amazing machine is it

[@jonnyhead]

This little beast is so powerful, strong effects, nearly every Roland sound you could possibly want and it's 2 synths in 1 😮 I mean c'mon!

[@johnhart1479]

This is just all kinds of awesome! Very Tangerine Dream-ish. I am absolutely buying one of these!! 👍👍

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

its great for ambient, house and trance

[@mrbill4068]

wow...great music!!!!

[@smuram]

Sounds great.

[@MayzMatthiasYzebaert]

Yes. This is what I had in mind when it was released. That you have 2 independent polyphonic voices + individual FX that can be sequenced - 64 steps + modulated - at the same time. Everybody keeps babbling about it not sounding 'as the original' are besides the point. What you're doing here is - imho - the point of this synth. Very nice.

[@jonnyhead]

Exactly this one replaced 3 other synths in my studio so I sold them and ended up in pocket and the sounds are fantastic

[@Mamotreco]

Lovely sounds!

[@project-95]

Fantastic synth and demo!

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Very nice! Love the sound of the filters.

[@larsfrosznielsen3536]

Greatness in front of my eyes'n ears

[@funkmachine6420]

Really nice sounding synth

[@Lotuslinxx]

nice !

[@geha6596]

...I think it sounds great and beefy... well done!

[@Bogdan.Pantir]

nice done!

[@thesrabbit]

Excellent. Well done!

[@AndroLectric]

Perfect 👍 🎶 🎶 great jaming/presentation 🤗

[@recycology5468]

Your video is pushing me so close to picking one of these up. I swore off Roland Boutiques but now IDK. I might just get this over the Dreadbox Nymphes. Yeah I agree who cares if it doesn't sound like the original. One of the reasons I like it.

[@wickeddubz]

Among all boutiques this one is the most capable, and you get 2 synths in one case. For me it was no-brainer. Yes, it has it’s own quirks, but still worth it’s money and occupies tiny space.

[@wickeddubz]

Aah, those dances with one leg while sitting and jamming 🥳👨🏼‍🚀

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Anxiety kicking at its best.

[@johnhart1479]

This is just all kinds of awesome! Very Tangerine Dream-ish. Definitely buying one of these!! 👍👍

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Glad you liked it!

[@KNHSynths]

Nice sequencing ! JX-08 is my preferred Boutique synth. And the "double synth" capability of the new JX-08 and JD-08 is really something that adds a lot of value to the Boutique concept.

[@ErichNolanBertussi]

how old is this one? i never heard of it!

[@KNHSynths]

@@ErichNolanBertussi The Boutique or the real machine ? The Boutique JX-08 and the JD-08 are two new models released last december. They benefit new common features like the dual layer (2 x the synths with 2 independent polyphonic sequencers). The JX-8P, the real machine, was sold between 1985 and 1989. It was the last analog poly synth from Roland (but that wanted to sound a bit like a digital one). The boutique JX-08 has a front panel that mimics the PG-800 additional module (with sliders, knobs to program the synths), the original JX-8P was like a DX7 : a little screen and lots of buttons, not very pleasant to program without the PG-800.

[@ErichNolanBertussi]

@@KNHSynths didn't know they had more new boutiques!

[@KNHSynths]

@Rhizosphere That"s true, Boutique format is a bit too small, it is not a live performance format.

[@KNHSynths]

@@ErichNolanBertussi Two new in december (jx-08 and jd-08) with new capabilities (like double layer)

[@AndreaCiaba]

Very cool! Landed here from the Elektronauts thread about these two new boutiques... Still undecided between JX and JD... But the latter sounds nuts in this video!

[@francotonini6446]

Om 🎹🎶🎹🌟👍

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

I bought one to use with my TB03 and TR08 to make complete songs.

[@jetbreak]

Watched a lot of videos on the JX-08 and they were all glassy pads and I wanted to know if it could do basses and leads. Thanks for this video, these are the sounds I wanted to hear and are much closer to my personal electronic music tastes, you sold me on this!

[@voiceisagun]

So cooool ! Thx 😊

[@ifaber68]

Very nice sequencing and variations :-)

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Thanks my friend!

[@davidryle]

I love the JX-8P but that JX-08 sounds really good. You make magic with it as well, so there is that to consider. Ha.

[@gershon2481]

It may not 100% capture the JX-8P, but that sounds good!

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Exactly! Thanks!

[@sillyjrnvideos]

I just wanna wish you a great Happy New Year, master Alba Ecstasy:-)

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Happy New Year and all the best to you!

[@sillyjrnvideos]

@@AlbaEcstasy Thanks my friend:-)

[@RicoTropico]

[@frederic4108]

Absolutely! Götsching-inspired :)

[@osirismaximus2787]

Simple, but still pretty catchy 👌

[@BDKabrini]

I Just brought mine 2/07/22 to pair with MY New TR-08 a brought last week. 👀 I haven't slept since

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Sleep is overrated!

[@valdiskrebs566]

The JX-08 sounds somewhat like my SH-01a … so I am leaning toward the JD-08. Love those double sequencers! Great demo… as usual. 🙂

[@AlbaEcstasy]

There’s a resemblance with the SH-01, indeed. But yes, the JD is on steroids!

[@Sui778]

@@AlbaEcstasy Most of the Roland analogs can mimic each other in many ways - but they all have their own personalities definitely. The JX-08 is no exception to this. I never met a Roland analog (or virtual analog) I didn't like (I have 7 of them - three older ones and four of the newer ones). For me the JX-08 would be more like the JX-10 I never had with almost double the polyphony - not really a replacement for the JX-8P (which I do have). I really think Roland should have just marketed this as a new generation JX since the engine does have some sonic differences from the original JX models - and just called it the JX-20. But whatever the case - I like it anyway. I'll probably get one of these at some point.

[@Soundartprojekt]

Great

[@russellyoung6498]

Good demo. I prefer the JD08, but may add one of these to the collection. The Roland Boutique range has definitely had a lift with the release of these two!

[@wickeddubz]

I got it without keyboard, my opinion - buy it with keyboard if you want to sequence it in standalone mode. Great machine with a lot of features, worth buying if you need small synth.

[@ebucaster]

Frumos!

[@oscillated139]

Sold this to me!

[@avdr8151]

Well done my friend. Here in Bretagne, it's foggy, but always dance to your sequences, body and soul. Astucious timecode! Many thanx. Peace

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Thank you! Have a nice evening!

[@KRsix]

Would be awesome if you‘d consider making custom patches for the jX-08. Really enjoy the ones you made for the ju06a and the C&D slots are empty anyway

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Already have half of a bank (32 patches). Will be ready in a couple of weeks.

[@KRsix]

@@AlbaEcstasyGreat!

[@ordreancien]

@@AlbaEcstasy for other boutiques as well ? 😉🙏

Hi, yes, just take a look on my website to find what suits you! 👉www.albaecstasy.ro

@@AlbaEcstasy great, I ll buy the jp08 patches tomorrow 👍

Thanks! Sure, what do you want to know?

[@williamsonsam4420]

Nice!

[@pikselis]

Awesome! And here is the totally random, question... will it pair well with Behringer MonoPoly?

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Thanks! Why not?!

[@Octopus_9600]

So nice, really love it, my tr-8s is on the way, I already know next I will by 3 boutique, the SE-02, SH-01a & JX-08 but not at the same time 😅. Do you think there is one to take before another?...( sorry for my bad english) btw thanks for all you videos ❤

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Glad you like it! Don’t forget the JD-08 you can create same crazy wave percussions type sounds! And also for pads and for its 128 voices.

[@twiglet2214]

I've got the SE-02 and the SH-01a and personally i would opt for the SE-02 first.It's also well worth checking out the Roland S1 - the review on Andertons Music said that he had worked for Roland for 10 years and it was his favourite product so ordered one from Scan Uk £148.The TR8-s is a fantastic base to work from with the mix of sliders and mute buttons - add in a Boss RC500 2 track looper for good measure ! Synthesisers is all part of my get poor quick scheme and it's working well.

[@tomadeney8860]

Is it possible to transpose sequences? Preferably live ( you can on the jdxi for example) thanks

[@AlbaEcstasy]

I couldn’t find myself that feature… it would be great though.

[@ctrl_fj]

Hey, nice jam man ! Can I ask you which camera you used ? :)

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Thanks, I think I had the Zoom Q2n camera.

[@ctrl_fj]

@@AlbaEcstasy Thank you for answering 👌🏻

[@oliverakadjrunnerspoint5742]

how long is the pattern length there, does it go up to 64 steps or just 16? if last entry how to play reasonable chords on it! enlighten me guys 🤔

[@glenesis]

Nice! It does sound amazing. What is polyphony count on this thing please? I can't find that info elsewhere.

[@AlbaEcstasy]

JX-08 has 20 notes polyphony.

[@glenesis]

@@AlbaEcstasy Thank you!

[@robertochehade]

Niceee. I'm planning to get the jd08. How the independent synth capability works? They go through different midi channels?

[@AlbaEcstasy]

I haven’t yet tested it with an external controller but I’ll let you know (good point!).

[@robertochehade]

@@AlbaEcstasy cool 🙌

[@KRsix]

Yes, the 2 timbres have independent midi channels

[@robertochehade]

@@KRsix cool

[@8uyhghggfcmjt]

Do one on jdo8. Please.

[@AlbaEcstasy]

I don't own one... Yet 😁

[@EdCosico]

Excellent demo, I like the sounds. Are you able to use an external sequencer to play two different sounds?

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Yes, you can do that, but the internal sequencer is also great!

[@EdCosico]

@@AlbaEcstasy thank you i

[@RedmondBarry256]

Such a pity the Roland sequencers dont allow realtime key transposition a la Arturia Keystep (or indeed vintage synths like the SC Pro One.) I believe the SH4d also omits this. A very strange omission, IMHO.

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Totally agree! Good thing I have it on the Jupiter X-m, and without shift+ as on the JD-Xi.

[@jgbpkoolguys]

Could you sequence another synth using the sequencer on the jx-08?

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Haven't tried yet, but good point! Will try!

[@dalexeiblues]

is it possible with that sequencer to hold a long chord/pad (like with an hold function) ?

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Yes, it’s doable.

[@neonpop80]

Can you save sequences? If so, how many?

[@AlbaEcstasy]

64 sequences with two different parts (A&B).
