Roland JX-08 Boutique Sound Module Set

An ’80s Legend On Your Desk!

1985 marked a milestone for hybrid synthesis: the innovative Roland JX-8P hit the market, captivating with its analog-digital sounds. It quickly became a favorite among countless session musicians, who immortalized its warm pads, shimmering chorus, and crystalline textures in the big hits of that era. With the JX-08, the unique sound of this sought-after classic returns. In stunning detail, combined with powerful new effects, a polyphonic sequencer, and more. Plus, the JX-08 features the full fader control of the original external PG-800 programmer unit, boosting your creative flow even further.

Classic Sound. Modern Implementation.

For the JX-08, we preserved the original design of the JX-8P—yet introduced a range of modern upgrades that elevate your experience to a new level. Discover over 100 new patches crafted for contemporary music styles, or shape your own sounds using the JX-08’s control elements. Enhanced polyphony, dual multitimbral operation, and Dual/Split modes offer even more options to bring your sonic ideas to life. To save your custom sounds, 256 preset slots are available.

Even More Effects.

The JX-08 is equipped with 17 powerful effects, many new to the Roland Boutique lineup. Make your JX patches shine with classic Chorus, Phaser, and Delay. Or add some grit with Overdrive, Fuzz, Bit-Crusher, and the new Lo-Fi Compressor. Pitch shifters are also included to add extra dimension and character to your sounds.

Moving Music.

Once you’ve crafted your patches, the two-part polyphonic sequencer comes into play: program your leads, basslines, or basic chords and sync everything with other devices in your electronic ensemble. With motion recording and the built-in arpeggiator, you bring movement to your sounds and make your lines dance.

MIDI, USB, and External Clock Input...

The JX-08 features an integrated USB-C audio/MIDI interface, allowing you to sync the synthesizer with any computer production software. MIDI inputs and outputs are available for connecting external MIDI hardware. There’s even an external clock input to control the JX-08’s sequencer and arpeggiator via analog vintage instruments and modern Eurorack systems.

Keyboard For On The Go.

The compact JX-08 fits anywhere and can be comfortably played and controlled via a master keyboard or computer DAW. Besides operating on standard AA batteries for hours of mobile jamming, it has a built-in speaker to enjoy full sound on the move. For even more convenience, you can expand the JX-08 with the elegant DK-01 Boutique Dock Case to position the module flat or in two tilt angles. Or grab the K-25m keyboard unit to turn the JX-08 into a fully standalone, portable instrument.

Portable Keyboard For The Roland Boutique Modules

The K-25m is a velocity-sensitive 25-key keyboard designed specifically for use with Roland Boutique series modules. Measuring less than 12", the K-25m keyboard unit also serves as a dock for all Roland Boutique modules.

Once the module is installed, it can be positioned at two different angles—making it easier to see and access the module controls and optimizing sound programming. Alternatively, the module can be placed flat in the classic style. The compact keyboard’s octave range can be shifted over ten octaves when used with a Boutique module.
