Roland JD 08 Sound Module

What you need to know here is that this is not a pick-your-waveform and sweep-the-filter type of synth, like a Moog or something similar. We’re dealing with the world of true sound design, so be prepared to strap in, read the manual and get accustomed to spending much more time experimenting. Luckily it does come with all the old patches and the more aggressive timbe of the original, so at least you’ve got some starting points to jump off of. If you’re looking for that 90s electronica and dance sound, this is this right place to begin. It also has an on-board sequencer, so one trick you might try is to load a sequence in your DAW, let it run freely through the JD-08 and then start messing around with the controls to shape the sound on-the-fly. You might just stumble onto a great sound or patch that you otherwise wouldn’t have got. With plenty of on-board storage, we recommend saving patches often so you don’t lose them.

Inspiring sound design at your fingertips. In the early 90s, digital synths with limited presets dominated the music scene. The JD-800 changed all that in 1991, taking the synthesizer world back to its roots with a control-heavy panel and an aggressive electronic sound palette. The JD-08 features 64 presets from the original hardware and perfectly recreates the four-tone structure, 108 waveforms, and unique two-part multi-effects that were at the heart of the JD-800’s complex and ever-evolving sound. While the original design of the JD-800 remains intact in this modern version, there are a number of updates that will take your experience to a new level. New patches plus 256 memory locations let you dive deep into the wealth of controls available to create new sounds for your music. And with added polyphony and two-part multitrimbal capability, there’s even more room to expand your sonic ideas.
