The latest Roland Boutique is inspired by the 1985 JX-8P - we say inspired because: a) It has controls (the original didn't) based on the optional PG800 programmer b) It has up to 20 voices of polyphony and a two part multi-timbral engine. More like a JX-10 if we're honest. We also uploaded some Decent Sampler JX-08 instruments for you to our Patreon, where you will also find plenty of exclusive content. https://patreon.com/sonicstate JX-08 at Adorama: https://bit.ly/3J59bsQ It uses ABM (analog behaviour modelling) which is a less DSP hungry way of digitally modelling the voice architecture and means it has more voices than the original ACB based Boutiques. The interface is still Boutique sized with 30mm faders, knobs and buttons, has an internal speaker, miniJack connections and a battery compartment for wire-free operation. Plus the USB Audio interface (8 outs - Mix, Layer A, B and Stereo in, plus stereo return) USB-C is used - yay! Better than micro USB of the earlier models, and can be mounted in the Roland K-24m keyboard if you desire. #soniclab #jx08 #boutique Exclusive extra content on Patreon https://patreon.com/sonicstate 00:00 Intro and overview 02:44 USB Audio 03:47 Voice architecture 07:28 THAT Chorus, sounds and FX 12:50 Can it PWM? 14:40 Split/Layer Multi-timbrallity 16:42 Sequencer 21:32 Round up and conclusions Frozen Reverbs Racks for Live: http://bit.ly/freezemachines Subscribe to Sonicstate on YouTube for new content! http://bit.ly/SonicYTSub Watch Sonicstate's Exclusive Series: Sonic LAB: http://bit.ly/SonicLab Meet The Makers: http://bit.ly/SonicMakers Sonicstate Performances: http://bit.ly/SonicPerformances Sonic TALK Podcast: http://bit.ly/SonicTalk NAMM 2020: http://bit.ly/NAMM20 Website: http://www.sonicstate.com Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/#!/sonicstate Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/wwwsonicstate Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/sonicstateuk Podcast/iTunes: https://goo.gl/4uOFA5
