Roland’s JX-3P now comes built-in with the System-8 synthesizer
Plugout synth joins the Juno-106 and Jupiter-8
Roland has announced the latest plugout synth to come bundled in with the System-8, the JX-3P.
Forming the final piece in Roland’s ‘big three’, the ‘3P joins the Jupiter-8 and Juno-106 as the preloaded offerings for System-8s plugout section.
The System-8 features three plugout buttons, so it was only a matter of time before Roland filled it with another polysynth and of course, the JX-3P would always be the obvious choice. Presumably, all System-8’s from now will come with an updated sticker too?

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
