Roland JD-08 - With its retro workflow, evocative sounds, and powerful effects, the JD-800 was a favourite among top electronic music producers in the '90s and beyond. Combining original JD-800 waveforms with advanced modelling techniques, the JD-08 offers the refined sound design of the original, along with enormous extended polyphony, a dual-track polyphonic sequencer, and other modern updates.
JD-08 features a built-in USB-C audio/MIDI interface and due to its compact design can be transported anywhere. It can be easily controlled using a keyboard or through a DAW. It can operate on standard AA batteries and also features a built-in speaker for monitoring sound “on the go.”
