Inspired by the legendary Roland JX-8P, this software synthesizer delivers the smooth pads, lush stereo chorus, and unmistakable DCO-based sound of the original — updated for modern DAWs and workflows.
The synth features two digitally controlled oscillators per voice with Saw, Square, Pulse, and Noise waveforms, plus Hard Sync and Ring Modulation for extended sound design. With up to 12-voice polyphony, it easily handles rich chords, evolving pads, and layered textures.
A classic signal path combines dual envelope generators, a 24 dB resonant low-pass filter, and a three-stage high-pass filter, making it ideal for everything from warm basses to cinematic pads. The signature JX-style stereo chorus adds width and depth true to the original hardware.
Full JX-8P SysEx compatibility allows users to import and export original patches, preserving vintage sounds without relying on aging gear. Multiple key assignment modes, MIDI Learn, and efficient SSE2-optimized C++ code ensure smooth performance and easy hardware integration.
For producers seeking an authentic JX-8P VST-style synthesizer with modern performance, this instrument bridges classic analog-digital character with contemporary software flexibility.
