Building on the legacy of the venerable JD-808, Roland created the JD-08, giving a nod to the past while adding a modern flair. A staple sound throughout the '90s and beyond, The JD-800's waveforms have been combined with modern advanced modeling to deliver an instrument to shape the future. Unparallelled hands-on sound design, expanded polyphony, a two-part poly sequencer, and more, just waiting for you.The JD-08 includes 64 presets from the original hardware and perfectly recreates the four-tone structure, 108 waveforms, and unique two-part multi-effects that are at the core of the JD-800’s intricate, evolving sound. 256 memory locations allow you to tweak until you're satisfied and then tweak some more without losing previous inspiration.An integrated USB-C audio/MIDI interface means you can play, record, and synchronize with all types of computer production software. Plus, standard MIDI I/O is included so you can hook up with other MIDI gear. The JD-08's sequencer can even be driven with vintage analog instruments thanks to an onboard external clock input.The JD-08 is a road warrior by design. You can power it via USB bus, 4 x AA alkaline batteries (included), or 4 x AA Ni-MH rechargeables (sold separately). There's also a built-in speaker and headphone output for on-the-go monitoring.While the JD-08 is stunning and formidable on its own, you can add a DK-01 Boutique Dock (sold separately) with three tilt positions or grab a K-25m Keyboard Unit (sold separately) to create a fully self-contained, portable instrument.Roland JD-08 Includes:Quick StartLeaflet "USING THE UNIT SAFELY"Alkaline battery (AA, LR6) x 4Roland JD-08 Features:Authentic sound and behavior of the original JD-800 realized with advanced sound modeling108 original waveforms for extensive patch design possibilitiesIncludes the original 64 presets plus 21 new presetsTwo-part, 64-step, eight-note (per part) polyphonic sequencer with motion recording, random pattern generator, and memory for 128 patternsOnboard arpeggiatorTwo-part multitimbral with expanded polyphony, up to 128 voices (depending on patch load)Four-part structure for tone layeringDetailed recreation of the JD-800’s unique two-stage multi-effects sectionEditable distortion, phaser, spectrum, enhancer, delay, chorus, and reverbMulti-phase time variant envelopes for complex, evolving soundsPalette sliders for quick parameter adjustmentUSB-C audio/MIDI interface, full-size MIDI I/O, and external clock inputPortable design for mobile music makingPowered via batteries (4 x AA) or USB-CControl information can be sent and received via MIDI and USB-CBuilt-in powered mini speaker for instant enjoymentCompatible with optional DK-01 Boutique Dock or K-25m Keyboard UnitRoland JD-08 Specifications:User MemorySound Patch: 256Pattern: 128ControllersRear PanelPOWER switchVOLUME knobPALETTE SectionTONE A--TONE D slidersLFO SectionLFO SELECT buttonRATE sliderDELAY sliderFADE sliderWAVEFORM buttonOFFSET buttonKEY TRIG buttonWG SectionPITCH COARSE knobPITCH FINE knobPITCH RANDOM sliderKEY FOLLOW sliderWAVE FORM knobLFO 1 sliderLFO 2 sliderPITCH/TVF/TVA ENV SectionTIME KEY FOLLOW sliderT1--T4 slidersL1--L4 slidersSUSTAIN LEVEL sliderENV SELECT buttonTVF SectionMODE buttonCUTOFF FREQ sliderRESO sliderENV sliderKEY FOLLOW sliderLFO SELECT buttonLFO sliderTVA SectionLEVEL sliderBIAS DIRECTION buttonBIAS POINT sliderBIAS LEVEL sliderLFO SELECT buttonLFO sliderTONE A--TONE D buttonsLAYER-ACTIVE buttonARPEGGIO buttonNOTE buttonCOMMON buttonEFFECTS buttonSTART buttonEXIT buttonVALUE knobBANK 1--8 buttonsNUMBER 1--8 buttonsMANUAL buttonEffectsDistortionPhaserSpectrumEnhancerDelayChorusReverbStep Sequencer2 part64 steps8 notes per part (Polyphonic)Display7 segments, 4 characters (LED)ConnectorsEXT CLOCK IN jack: Mono miniature phone typePHONES jack: Stereo miniature phone typeOUTPUT jack: Stereo miniature phone typeMIX IN jack: Stereo miniature phone typeMIDI (IN, OUT) connectorsUSB port: USB Type-C(R) (Audio, MIDI)Power SupplyNi-MH battery (AA, HR6) x 4 or Alkaline battery (AA, LR6) x 4USB bus powerCurrent Draw500 mA (USB bus power)Expected battery life under continuous useNi-MH battery: Approx. 6 hours (When using batteries having a capacity of 1,900 mAh.)* This can vary depending on the specifications of the batteries, capacity of the batteries, and the conditions of use.AccessoriesOptions (sold separately)Keyboard unit: K-25mBoutique Dock: DK-01Size and WeightWidth: 300 mm, 11-13/16 inchesDepth: 128 mm, 5-1/16 inchesHeight: 49 mm, 1-15/16 inchesWeight (including batteries): 840 g, 1 lb 14 oz Roland JD-08 Botique Sound Module.
