The Roland JX-08 Boutique is a true icon of the 1980s. In 1985 Roland released the JX-8P on which this synthesizer is based. With its hybrid synthesis, new virtual analog/digital voice, warm pads, shimmering chorus and crystal clear textures, this Roland soundboard was immediately embraced by top session musicians. Many of the sounds in this synthesizer can be found in the most popular tracks of the time.
