Barely Alive Roland JX-3P for Vital

By | April 6, 2024

Barely Alive Roland JX-3P for Vital

Introduced in 1983, the JX-Programmable-Preset-Polyphonic analog synth from Roland was a big hit. Released alongside the Jupiter-6, both synths had a second oscillator which set them apart from the Juno. The JX-3P featured a button-only front panel and the classic chorus, whereas the Jupiter retained the knob and faders but had no built in effects.

These are some of our favorite patches to use as they cover a wide range of sounds, with 6-note polyphony and the lush chorus that makes everything just sound great. Have fun!
