Roland JX-8P

[JohnnyC]

so my colleague at work said he got given one from a friend/relative...as his daughter showed interest.
hes asked me if i have any spare amps and im going to help him out.

he prob doesnt have a power supply but ive asked him to give me more info in case i have any spares etc.

just doing some net searching...its a mid 80s model?
reviews say its hard to program but sounds decent?

any clued up synth people care to chime in?
cant find any for sale on ebay etc...worth anything?

Never actually played one, but it looks like a nice board. It was the spawn of the Jupiter series, but it's cheaper, partly digital, and less flexible. Still a dual oscillator (DCO) polysynth with an analog filter! They seem to sell for between $300 and $550. There is an optional programmer (PG-800) you can buy for it, but those sell on ebay for more than the synth itself.

i had the jx3p for awhile, dope synth. if u really want to get into patch programming and hate menu's u gotta get the extra controller piece for it. worlds different
