Roland

A digital synth icon, now available as a plug-in for your DAW.

The JX-3P software synth offers a crystalline ACB-component (Analog Circuit Behavior)-level replication of the JX-3P's lustrous textures, along with numerous enhancements for modern players. Running the gamut from classic string sounds to crushing metallic pads, this polyphonic masterpiece will stoke your creative fire.

• Use the JX-3P plug-in like the standalone hardware, or explore advanced sound creation with the virtual PG-200 programmer
• Condition knob adjusts the sound of the JX-3P, from clean and pristine to warm and broken in
• Two fully adjustable envelopes
• Eight voices of polyphony
• Built-in arpeggiator that syncs to your DAW
• Original JX-3P chorus, plus modern reverb and tempo-syncing delay effects

Hardware Integration
The JX-3P also supports Roland's PLUG-OUT format, providing intuitive, hands-on operation with the SYSTEM-8 hardware synth. PG-200 parameters are mapped to the SYSTEM-8's ample controls, giving you a JX-3P/PG-200 combo that you can take to the stage without a computer. It's also possible to use the SYSTEM-8 or a Roland Boutique JX-03 for one-to-one, hands-on control of the JX-3P plug-in.

This treasured synth will deliver the sounds of the early '80s directly to your DAW, adding a singular flavour to any musical arsenal.
