Synthesizer Show & Tell - Roland JX-8P & iPG-800


Published on May 6, 2018 Steve Learson

"Synthesizer Show & Tell, EP: 2 covers the Roland JX-8P and the iPG-800 App for iPad.

Each week I challenge myself to write a piece of music using only one synthesizer, and share some tips and tricks on how to use the instrument.

The JX-8P is an analog 6 note polyphonic synth made in 1985. It is well built with a solid metal casing, stable DCO’s, and 64 programmable patches.

5:02 - Ear candy and twinkles
5:38 - Pads and strings
7:35 - Juno 60/106 comparison
8:08 - Chorus
8:55 - iPG-800 Live application
9:40 - All Because of a Girl: song made using the JX-8P and vocals.

To connect the iPad to the JX-8P I use the IK Multimedia iRig MIDI 2, via MIDI IN & OUT.

iPG-800 is developed by Kentai and can be found in the App Store."
