Roland JX 8P Demo

*As with my other recent uploads, this just a shortish demo of the JX-8P (mainly factory presets), recorded live and edited down to a few of the more listenable highlights. I found this keyboard quite similar to the Juno 106 in many ways (but with touch sensitivity, of course, and the organs are a lot better), so I'm afraid there a few recycled chops from that demo.

My personal favourites are marked with an asterisk.

** I used this sound (on a borrowed JX-8P) on a studio recording in the mid 1980s. It was pretty much this sound alone that made me want to buy the board :)

Recorded through an Alesis Multimix for a touch of reverb (and occasional delay), direct to a Roland R-05.
