Roland JX-3P

The Roland JX-3P is an analog synthesizer keyboard from 1983 featuring 6 voices, 2 DCO's per voice, resonant low pass and high pass filters (the same ones used in the Juno and Jupiter series), 32 preset and 32 user patch memory, and the famous Roland Chorus effect. It has the distinction of being Roland's first synthesizer implementing MIDI. Direct access to patches is quick and easy with dedicated patch buttons on the top panel. The awesome color scheme and design fits the 80's era perfectly! Program it with the PG-200. It’s been used in tracks like Shannon’s “Give Me Tonight” and “Let the Music Play”. Watch a demo here
