Roland JX-8P: favourite patches


Published on Jun 16, 2014 roboticrealm

"JX-8P Polyphonic Analogue Synthesizer

No presets are used in this video.

Since I felt that my last JX-8P video was a bit inadequate I made another one. The patches you hear in this video were found on the internet and a few I've edited or programmed myself.

Since the JX-8P needs a little bit of effects to really shine I show you each sound with and without effects. On some sounds I use the Unison mode. I used +14 detune in that mode
(you can change that by hitting the Master Tune button).

I find the JX-8P to be best for pads.It's probably one of the best pad synths out there! It's also great for brass sounds and has good analogue type bell sounds. It also does lead sounds quite well. And with a little tweaking you can create quite good bass sounds.

Roland JX-8P is a 61-key, velocity and aftertouch sensitive, six-note polyphonic, fully analog synthesizer released by Roland in 1984. In a time of rising popularity of digital additive synthesis instruments, such as Yamaha DX7, JX-8P was marketed as best of both worlds: while it was possible to create classic analog synth sounds, several new modulation parameters and redesigned hardware enabled it to produce certain types of sounds
associated with FM synthesis, such as metallic percussion.
