The JP-8000 Music Synthesizer has been designed using a first-of-its-kind Roland Analog modeling sound source, combining the fat, powerful sounds associated with vintage analog synths with the flexibility of digital technology and MIDI.

Extended information

Incorporates Roland Analog modeling technology for fat, powerful analog-type sounds and tonal variations
DSP oscillator with 7 distinct algorithms: Saw, Square, Triangle (PWM), Super Saw (7 detuned Saws), Noise, Triangle Mod, and Feedback
38 front-panel knobs and sliders for unprecedented realtime control and manipulation; 49-note velocity-sensitive keyboard
"Analog" synth functions like oscillator sync, ring modulation, cross modulation and -12/-24 dB filtering
Assignable ribbon controller with powerful pitch bend/modulation lever
Programmable realtime phrase sequencing (RPS)
Onboard digital delay and chorus effects as well as tone controls
