The most frequently asked question about the new JD-08 and JX-08? Polyphony!
ℹ The JD-08 has a maximum polyphony of 128 voices. Please note, this can vary depending on patch load.
ℹ The JX-08 has a maximum polyphony of 20 voices.
ℹ Sequencer - Two-part, eight notes per part (polyphonic)
If only it comes with 3 octaves keys instead of only 2 octaves.
@@paulussantosociwidjaja4781 it's a boutique so it comes WITHOUT keyboard... The optional 2 octave toy is a gimmick for quick sketches. Add a decent 61-76-88 keyboard !
@@deauvillevrienden And portability. Wasn't gonna get the keyboard for the reasons you state, but even I have to admit that it's convenient for on-the-go or as a quick addition live.
Sometimes I want to get out of my home studio and sit in the lounge with some headphones, so I’ll be grabbing the keyboard too.
@@alistairsteadman3765 Exactly! I can't deny the convenience, especially with the built-in polyphonic sequencer.
Man, David's demo's are always rock solid!
Loved the JD800 so much and really excited to see and hear the new boutique version. Lovely demo, cant wait to get my hands and ears on it. It’s going to be a hit for a new generation of producers. Well done Roland! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
Thank you for the kind words. We can't wait to hear what you'll create with it! 🧡
Wow Roland this is amazing. Big fan of your products and own all of the Boutiques so far, a few doubles too haha. I’m surrounded by Roland. Also own some of your classic gear too from the 80s and 90s. Would love to try these new ones. Massive congratulations 👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥
wow been asking for this since the Boutiques started and you guys really delivered and did not let down by any means. thank you Roland, you've always been my favorite!
We're so happy you like it! 🧡
Was not expecting that! I always wanted to get a JD800 but they are so damn expensive nowadays... I really love those amazing pads that the JD800 can do! What would be even better is a Boutique JV1080 with the same amount of control as the JD08... That would be amazing! Cheers Roland (and David)!
Great demo David. Nice one.
Now I can finally play those mall gigs.
It's such a good demo, no keyboard wanging!
Yep preordered. This looks and sounds so awesome!
Such a nice touch to reproduce the skewed layout of the JD-800 on the left hand side. Well done Roland!
Thanks make, it's all in the details. Can't wait for you to experience it 🧡
@@rolandglobal Yeah I loved that bit of detail. Really made me smile when I saw it. I know what I'll be getting for Christmas now :-)
My prayers have been answered! Thank you Roland!!! I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these!!!
Happy to serve! Thank you for your kind words ^^.
Wow. Back in the day the JD800 was a battleship of a synth. Now a boutique. Amazing. I really hope they do a JP8000 version
The leap in technology over the past 30 years is truly remarkable.
Yes! This gives me hope for a jp-8000 as well. This is pretty awesome itself though; I might have to get one!
@@rolandglobal guys, as you see a lot of people waiting for smaller JP8000 :D
Why do the 8000 when you can do the 8080?
@@rolandglobal shame there hasn't been a leap in UX design.
7:27 I like how he explains the difference between midi synchronization and triggering by saying that synchronization is synchronization, while triggering is actually triggering...
I like how your comment is just repeating what all of us heard in the video.
(I swear I’m not really _that guy,_ I actually love timestamp comments 😅)
Fantastic! More Boutiques! Collect them all. I need to buy a new rack for these new Boutiques! 😀
Finally! Expanded polyphony! Love that.
I can’t believe how far things have come. I remember my mate back in the day saving for years for the original synth. I remember the day he fired the huge piece of kit up in his bedroom. It was like a spaceship landing.
Now it’s all able to be thrown in a backpack.
"all" lol
....good luck focusing partials using the TVF sliders :)
.... but is it really the same? No.
bravo roland.... fisrt roland synth i'm excited about since....well your sh01a !!! the sequencer looks awesome..exactly the thing that i can use, and trig in is the way to go.. ever since my sh101 and dr55 from way back in 1983 land its been my way of syncing . well done roland...proud of you xx
The boutique line is some of my favorite stuff ever made.
I LOVE the micro machine nature of em. Can't wait for my jd to come in :)
I'm hoping they're going to release a poly analog version of one of these. If they did that they would sell a lot! Cuz Dropbox has got that new Jupiter style $600 desktop. I mean they should be able to pull this off. If they were smart I'd be interesting if they did some more specialty products in this line like granular synthesis etc I mean they would have a big market if they entered this boutique into the modern era.
The only analog boutique sized module they released was the SE-02 and it was mono, I just hope if they were to release future boutiques like a JP-04 or other past synths, that they release fully polyphonic ANALOG boutiques at the same price as the SE-02, going back and re-releasing old boutiques doesn’t make business sense (except for the early models, I mean cmon man 4 voices??) now that I think about it, a re-issue of the Jupiter 8 synths with a built in Jupiter 4 engine, 8 voice polyphony would actually fly off the shelves
Great sounds ! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Thanks Roland it's the kind of synth i want for so long, when i was 14 years old i could'nt afford the originale JD 800 , but i try so much the best at my local shop, i finaly get an MC 303 instead ^^
We're stoked you'll be able to fulfill your life long dream!🧡
This was an overview and demo. Thank you.
glad you liked it ☺️🙏
I just bought this synth and man its amazing! Ive been using it with your Galaxia software along side the drum machines for a jam!
Love it brotha!!!! Awesome job!!!!
Thanks Ed, you're awesome 😎🔥🧡
I don't have the money to get an actual jd-800, but really like the 90s video game-esque aesthetic the sound has. Amazing pads and iconic keys - not to mention the really cool distorted leads (which I'm a really big fan of). This new boutique model might just be the best solution to my problem, thanks Roland!
You will love the JD-08! Go for it
@@rolandglobal Roland the fans have been asking for a JP-8000 so make it happen it will be a knock out...
After having watched both the JD-08 and the JX-08 I'm still pretty excited about these new releases. However having both a JX-03 and JP-08 I'd like to say that usability would increase 10x by growing the size of the boxes. Why don't you go for 19" rack width with the option of adding rack ears to them? With a little bit bigger space and nobs (and 43 cm instead of 30 cm) it would be a lot easier using these boutiques. And hey, you skipped the pitch and modulation bars and upgraded to usb-c (which is good since micro-usb was never really fool proof), so I believe there would be a much bigger market for these gadgets by just increasing them in size to a boutique mark 2.
And this would open up for a full-size keybed of 2 octaves or 3 octaves for the mini toylike keybed (which are really hard to use for someone who is used to play synth or hammer-action keys) and the missing pitch bender. Improve the series by making them a little more user friendly, please!
A rack format would be great for a lot of these boutiques, they feel just a little cramped for their large feature set.
I prefer what Korg does. If they make a small synth, like the Monologue, they usually make it simplistic to match, which makes it a powerful little box that is quick to use. Same thing with the bass station 2. This thing unfortunately has the negatives of being both small and complex to program at the same time.
MIDI keyboards do exist sir
@@t55a2 Of course they are an option, but a midi keyboard won't increase the size of those tiny slides and knobs. I've used a JX03 in a live situation and it:s not very user-friendly.
Also Arturia's Minibrute is more playable than the Microbrute which has those awful minikeys.
Amen to that. Its so silly to have these be so small. I have owned a tr09 for years and ive never stopped thinking, "this thing is for tiny people" lol
What I wouldn't do for more throw distance on my SH-01A faders!
What a synthesizer, love it
Smashed it out of the park👍❤️🙏
Very cool demo!
thank you kindly 🧡
Finally… I can have my WipEout lead and bass sounds on my desk again! Insta-purchase. 😃👍🏻
Whoop whoop. Can't wait for you to get your hands on one 🧡
@@rolandglobal fancy seeing you here Mr Wright…make that two insta purchases ( I had the original before you btw ;))
Well, I'm sold. And I'll join those asking for a jp8080 in this form factor or better. Thank you, Roland!
This looks cool
Good demo.
Looking forward to the inevitable comparison vids with the VST version.
I imagine it'll sound the same as the VST.. half suspect the Roland ESC2/BMC chips are ARM quad cores with some extra DSP logic or such.. so they can easy cross-compile plugins from x64
It's a cute adorable little critter, gonna have to get one since I have the JD-800..... 2 of these monsters would be amazing together
The JD 800 was the main synth when I was initiated into the mysteries of MiDi, way back. Dude went on to top the charts in the UK for 40 weeks or so, working his magic. Nice of you to bring it up to date!
Stoked that you like it and thanks for sharing that story!
Dope demo! Kung D 👊🏻
David är en beast! Vi ska hälsa till honom från dig 😊
Roland you have now have the best spokesperson and and someone how makes explanations so simplified. I have Dysgraphia show not tell and with simplistic words. Remember Einstein had Dysgraphia it took time and someone with the just that right something to open the doors of imagination. I love this guy.
Thank you for your kind words. We agree, David is truly a great demonstrator! 🧡
This guy's an excellent demo artist
Love those distorted tones!
Bring this to new Zealand asap. The boutique series is so cute and lovely sounding
We'll do our best, thank you 🧡☺️
Timbres e harmônicos maravilhosos!!!
The 20's is truly the golden age of synths.
Synth bonanza! 🧡
The jd 08 would be beast for Psytrance with that randomisation
Now I want one!
I am reading that I wasn't quite the only one jokingly suggesting a JD-800 in Boutique format. Well, the cramming worked with the SH-02, but your spaceship JD-800 would be a totally different ballpark. Still, you managed to surprise me once again. Just heard this wonderful news on Talking Synths on the Syntaur channel while they were actually talking about string machines, another love of mine. So it's by chance that this news came along. And the JX-8P as well. Come on, guys. This is incredible news. But yes, please make a Boutique JP-8000/8080, like asked (begged) in 50% of the comments. All my wet dreams will come true. Bravo!
Will get this when it is available.
My JD-08 arrives tomorrow and I'm super-excited. I told myself last month that I didn't need anymore synths after buying a Hydrasynth but here we are 😂 It looks incredible. Great video. But that blue wire just getting in the way of your fingers really triggers my OCD 🙈
It is really nice to see the JD800 get so much attention. I hope that it arrives in the Fantom as well!
Stalk us on our social channels and you shall receive latest info about newcomers of the Roland family and product updates! 🧡
@@rolandglobal Thank you!
NICE!
A very interesting thing, I think I’ll buy it after the release. I’ll be very happy if you release a boutique version of Roland JP-8000

This is sooooo cool! I like the way they took up the original design and implemented it in the boutique version.
Happy you noticed the resemblance with the OG JD-08 - true connoisseur! 🧡
can't wait to buy it
We can´t wait for you too have it! 🧡
Roland is killing it lately, holy man
Sweet roland 👍🏻 2:30 i really dig the guitar stortion sound. This is a sound thats close to my sound pallette. Love it 🙏
Maybe a little premature, but when are we going to see a jp8000? Super saws in a small size would be super.
Man, no matter what instrument, this guy is SO talented...🎹 And the JD-08 is cute af:)
that thing sounds rad!
We'll share more sound demos on our IG soon.

Wicked. A mini JD-800.
Let's hope you guys do a mini JP-8000 👊👊👊👊💪💥🔥🔥🔥
Nice! A mini-JD-800, with a multi-directional sequencer... A great way to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of this little guy's Granddaddy!
@RolandChannel, is it sysx-compatible with the real JD800? I would love to have real-time MIDI control over this 128-voice expander box using the faders on the actual thing. Well, also sending the thoroughly collected patches to it...
So is it possible, or is it a sealed blackbox?
I've been joking Roland should boutique the JD-800 for years, thinking it probably wouldn't be possible, as mammoth as the original was.
Roland proved me wrong. And I want one.
Haha right?
🧡
Geniaaaal !!! :)
Omg you made my dream come true
Sweet dreams are made of Roland Boutique 🧡
Great overview - really looking forward to this synth being available!
Also, I bet it is available, but would like to confirm - can you assign the two patch slots to different midi channels to control them separately?
I would like to know this too.
Easily most interesting thing of all Boutiques. But it outgrew the format probably. In order to unfold its full potential you'd have to use external keyboard and probably even something like Faderfox. I wonder if they could release it as 49 or 61 full-size version with some longer throw faders.
Behringer CAT's faders seem longer than these but still unusable. Every time I wanted to buy JP-08 or SE-02 I remind myself of that.
Don't think there were faders on the SE02, but your point is taken on the size. I liked the sound of my SE02 a lot, but the lack of class compliant USB audio was enough of a bummer that I parted with it. Mobile format hardware synths should be able to connect with phones and tablets IMO.
@@Leviathan-mj8gi I am unfamiliar with the original, never played one. I see this independently as an affordable polyphonic synth with wide sound palette and plenty of controls. There are not much options unfortunately besides Modal. Recently we witnessed analog monos renaissance. Now it's time for polys and I'm fine with digital.
Behringer's have no memory, and it's every time pushes me away from their prehistoric synths :D
A microkorg sized boutique JD08 would be amazing indeed!
@@Leviathan-mj8gi I don't have judgement on the usability of this device as I haven't used it, but to those suggesting mapping a midi controller ... if I'm going to map a big midi controller I might as well just use the JD-800 in roland cloud.
Excellent demo! And it does sound like my old JD-800, too. No need for an original to get those sounds.
Best boutique by far! You should have made a larger format version of this one (need not be 5 octaves necessarily)... hope something arises in that direction...
It already happened and was called JD-XA. :p
Well done for Botique series. I'd need some other series as the faders are to small for me. Something Argon or Cobalt or Reface size would be welcome. Just need more travel room on the faders.
The synths look and sound awesome, and great presentation, but my favorite part of the video are the giant Lego block baffles!
😂
Nice. I notice you filmed this in the Tardis too. Wish I could meet the Doctor one day.
I love the boutique series. If I was rich, I'd collect them all. Need to make palm sized mini versions so I can collect them.
Just sold my jd800 yesterday after getting the Keybed replaced, guess I know what I’m buying today 😮💨😍
🧡☺️ The timing!
Hey! This is great news. What a treat.
Please could you let me know if this synth engine will accept the original JD-800 MIDI messages? 🤞🏽
What is the resolution of the faders? 0-256? I like the form factor of the boutiques but with 10mm faders, 1mm = 25 bytes. Hope tones won't be hard to dial in
1mm = 25 _bits_
(a byte is 8 bits)
Was wondering if Roland would Boutique the JD-800. Very cool!
Glad you like it
Sounds great! I see that 707 in the background 🧐 hopefully some news about that upcoming as well 🤞
Model expansions for mc707 would be amazing!
I hope Roland make a new batch TR-09, JP-08, D-05 and others! :-)
Thanks for the feedback.
Looks great!
Question, Does motion record support external midi cc?
Lets say i wanted to use microkorg as keyboard for this and also sequence microkorg from track b, would i be able to wiggle filter on microkorg and record it?
Another point, very nice touch having individual step length! Is it possible to change step dividers per track, eg. 1/8 on track b(8bar) and 1/16 on track a(1bar)
Please please hurry this to retailers, would love to wiggle it around christmas, rather than wait til january. 😁
Nifty! They've done good job of shrinking down the interface.
I don't really get where Roland are coming from with the polyphony on these things, 128 notes on this, 4 on everything else?
Just in time for Christmas
🎅 Let's Go ho ho!
Be nice if it had all the jd990 card expansions and the ability to load your own tones/samples.
Will the boutique version have the possibility for aftertouch as the original did? Don’t see where anyone asked nor is it noted on your website. I assume no for the k-25m but if you have a midi controller with aftertouch will is support!!
Jesus!! I want one!!!
wow lovely! are patches from the original compatible with this? like the d50 & d05?
Yes! Another boutique! 💪👏
Hi, how do I change the pitch bend of a sound from -2 to -12? How do I save a sound after making changes? Thanks
What CCs does it respond to? Can CCs be assigned to controls? I have the Aerophone AE-30 and would love if I could use breath and motion to play and control it.
Hey, what's the polyphony on these two new units, please? Thanks :)
This thing rocks x real, I thing I'll try go x
Will there be a sysex option to dump sounds from the jd800 to the jd 08?
I love this format but not convinced it sounds like my jd-800. Still sounds good though. Also not sure why you wouldn’t just use the JD 800 zen on a Jupiter X/XM ? I think they are the same or not?
I cant believe they actually did it, id suggested a couple of years ago for the JD even though i thought that the panel controls would have been a problem in a small form factor, well done Roland for being able to do it! The big question is, does this come installed with all the additional ram cards?
That is amazing to hear. Great minds 🧠 👊
The JD-08 includes the original 64 presets from the JD-800, plus 21 new presets with total memory for 256 patches. The JD-08 includes the original 108 waveforms, multi-phase time variant envelopes, two-stage multi-effects, and tone sliders all found on the original JD-800.
@@rolandglobal Great minds indeed :) that's awesome! I used to have the Original JD back in 92', so it looks like i'll be throwing down some cash on this since trying to get an original these days is hard as the prices are going through the roof!
Dear Roland, this gentleman was the perfect pick for this video. Well delivered, great job and of course, great sounding synth! I just wish you guys would start building some more sturdy feeling products like you used to. Give me some weight! :)
Cool demo, how many voices does it have, and how many steps long is the sequencer?
Great demonstration video! I miss my JD-800 .. Can someone please build an improved clone of the original programmer for the JD-800?! That would be super fun to use with the JD-08!
The sound of berghain and tresor first floor !! Tangent gallery detroit 2017 aural memories !
😀🧡🔥
I sold my o.g jd800 a couple years back but kept the patches I wrote saved - will I be able to load them? sYsEX If i remmeber correctly?
Can you load in patches created on the Jd800 to jd08, like you can with D50 into the D05 via sysex?
Can it theoreticly be a controller for XV-5050 or JV-1080? I.e does Cutoff slider send the same midi command as on XV, JV so it can be plug’n’play without setting routes in DAW
Looks and sounds good. Now: where's the backward compatibility? Five-part multitimbrality? Where are the SL-JD80 expansion card waveforms and patches? Where's the proper one-sound-per-key "Special Setup" for drums? And above all else, where's the JD-series SysEx compatibility? Seems odd to have crippled such a potentially powerful piece of kit.
Wow, 5 part? Jesus
@@garygood6593 Yeah, the original JD-800 has 5-part multitimbral functionality, including the "Special Setup" patch that allows a different sound with different synth parameters on every key.
@@msld_sound That's actually EXcluding the Special Setup. So 5+1 parts. But yeah, I don't get why they massacred it in that way... was it the cost of 128 voice polyphony? If so, wrong choice imo. 128/4 = 32 voices for a single 4-voice patch... How do you even use that? Except ambient stuff with Release Times of 100. At first, I was like, yay 128 voices now I'll have enough for all Parts... oh... right, ALL two of 'em. If there's no SYSEX I couldn't even program it externally with my OG JD-800, what a bummer... And why NONE of the expansion waves? Seriously, come on, memory isn't nearly as expensive now as back then, so WHY the heck not?... Had they pulled it all together with this one as PROPERLY as the JD-800, it would've been an instabuy for me. Now, no way. Come on Roland, get your sh*t together!
I really want them to make more D-05s. My original D-50 died after the D-05 went out of production )': Also, I agree, this could be a much more one to one unit like the D-05 was to the D-50.
Does this have new features like XFM? Also, how is it different from the Cloud version?
707 & 727 GOTTA BE COMING SOON TOO I BET
A problem I've been having with the jd08. When controlling the unit from my DAW I can't seem to use the arp. If I switch on note mode the arp works. I'm using the usb midi, there definitely is a difference it has more layered octaves and switches on the drone but no arpeggio .
