"The synth ships with:

- Roland JX3P synthesizer with the JX-3P KiwiTechnics Upgrade installed. This costs US$265 before you even pay a synth-tech to install it for you.
- A high quality overlay by Synthgraphics. This is absolutely essential for extracting all the amazing features of the Kiwi upgrade. The overlay has not been fixed to the synth, giving you the option to either install it or keep the synth in original condition. Total value is US $75.00.
- The original integrated Roland chip that was uninstalled to make way for the Kiwi Mod.
