Thank you for this video. There sure are a lot of haters of this synth. This is like the best of both worlds - digital stability and analog warmth with 4 voices. I love mine. It is definitely a keeper for life. Also- It sounds so good that I don’t even notice the tiny knobs anymore. That’s another weird thing from the haters when, these days, we type letters on buttons the size of a gnat (i.e. texting) Very easy to manipulate sounds AND an excellent synth for teaching subtractive synthesis fundamentals.
This is my first synth I love it! I'm glad I grabbed it. Got it on a discount and the store is unfortunately not in business. RIP Rob's Boulder Music.(once located in Boulder CO)
Very good review! You created some very nice sounds in the demo, how do you save them on the JX-03? In which banks? Just C? Or can banks A and B be over-written with changes to the original sound?
nice tutorial! is it possible to hold/sustain a note or a chord in jx without pressing a key? I tried to achieve this with the adsr sustain and release at all the way up but the sound eventually fades. I then thought it should be nice to achieve this via the sequencer... but it is monophonic so you can hold only one note. If there is a way around it should be nice to this without a use of a computer... any ideas? I know for a fact that in moog's patties that you can dummy plug a cable on the kb gate input and keep the gate open and the sound keeps playing no matter what. But I think that there is not something similar to the boutiques .
I use my Jx-03 with a midi controller. Plug in sustain to midi controller and it just works, no configuration. Unfortunately there is no sustain input with the unit itself and you'll need to additional hardware.
@RonCavagnaro looks great for getting good 80s sounds in a mix not like big full chords obviously but really you could overdub the left hand if you needed too.
it seems they try to get "sought after" stuff with this, also the aira modula modules like scooper, demora etc where not available just after a year of production. strange tactic, but after all its roland so ...
This does not have USB MIDI so I can't play it with most of my MIDI controllers that don't have a DIN MIDI socket. Is there a DIN to USB adapter you could recommend? (I wouldn't buy the dedicated Roland keyboard because i want more than 25 keys.)
Laura Woodswalker I use it as usb midi to my daw I am unsure about any adapters because I just use the Usb midi directly. I bought the keys for each of my boutiques just for fun . I usually am sequencing these synths with my deluge
I'm sure it can connect to a hub that is connected to a computer/DAW. My question is about playing it Standalone...with just a keyboard. But not a 25-key one. I like 32 or 37 keys.
thanks, but there is no MIDI Out on the controller keyboard so we are missing a step here. Very few controller keyboards have 5-pin midi sockets these days.
Hold manual + 14 = delay volume, Hold manual + 15 = delay time, Hold manual + 16 = delay feedback, Hold chorus + pitch ribbon = Portamento. Jx03 + efx = Heaven
THANKS!!!
AJ BOSS 77 Thank you
que buen video saludos desde Mexico colega

Yes it's a beautiful synth all of my boutiques I own I forget it is digital they each sound very nice to me!

My wife doesn’t understand me.
I can watch this kind of synth-p*rn all night.
Such an informative video! Thanks a lot.
Thanks so much for this! The crossmod section was really helpful.
Excellent tutorial - thank you!
Is that like an init patch? How do you save to C if you like something you made?

Valdis Krebs only 16 places on c, just hold down the number until it blinks
Great tutorial! Greetings from brasil!
I love the sounds from 16:09 - 17:36
Isaiah Nanez me too that's my favorite type of sounds when im writing songs thanks

I'm not sure if you can do it on the JX-03 itself, but you could just use a sustain pedal assuming you've got one.
Get a hardware sequencer that can drone notes

Almost turned off half way through as the sound was so crude....glad I stayed to the end.
Great...now I have to buy this 1 too..lol
How is it a jx 3p model... it doesn't even have a brilliance knob?
@@CyberWaveRadio-nn4om i dont own a full one, brilliance sounds like filter cutoff, which it has
@RonCavagnaro looks great for getting good 80s sounds in a mix not like big full chords obviously but really you could overdub the left hand if you needed too.
The boutique series seem to have vanished from the market,only D05,JX03 and Tr09 have left in some European stores,better get myself the JX03 asap.
T.I.N Mateus jx03 is great definitely recommended.

nice. i just bought a second JX for 8 voices. 😜
How does it work? Is there any latency between the two?
Like the sound @22:35
Boss thanks

Laura Woodswalker there's a midi in on the back you'd just plug it in

Laura Woodswalker oh I'm sorry I see what you're saying I'm unsure but I use an old novation remote 61sl for my workhorse keyboard
anyone else hear every preset bank on this thing out of tune?
@@victaylor230 i don't think so, at least on my end. Did you make sure the mod wheel slider is set to zero?
@@RonCavagnaro I bought it second hand, I had to factory reset it but I fixed it
