Analog Heaven!

At Sweetwater, we know there are a lot of knob jockeys out there who love the analog look and feel! Well, feast your eyes on the JP800! This synth is a throwback to glorious analog synths, combining lots of knobs and realtime controllers with vintage synth sounds provided via Analog Modeling Technology. A newly developed DSP oscillator offers seven unique algorithms: Sawtooth, Triangle and Square waves, plus new waveforms like Super Saw, Triangle Mod and Feedback OSC. The JP-8000 produces 8-voice polyphony and has a 49-key (four octave) velocity-sensitive keyboard. Features:

  • Incorporates new roland analog modeling technology, combining the fat, powerful sounds and tonal variations associated with vintage analog synths with the flexibility of digital technology and MIDI
  • New DSP oscillator with distinct algorithms: Saw, Square, Triangle (PWM), Super Saw (7 detuned Saws), Triangle Mod, Feedback OSC
  • 38 front-panel knobs and sliders for unprecedented realtime control and sonic manipulation -- allows for the intense "tweaking" required for modern dance music production
  • 49 note velocity-sensitive keyboard
  • "Analog: synth functions like oscillator sync, ring modulation, cross modulation and -12/-24 dB filtering
  • Assignable ribbon controller and powerful pitch bend/ modulation lever
  • 8-voice polyphony for thick chords
  • Innovative "Motion Control" feature memorizes all sequential slider and knob movements, ensuring that a great realtime "tweak" will not be lost

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
