Roland
JX-3P emerged in
1983 as the first
MIDI-capable synth
produced by
Roland. Its architecture
is more advanced than the Juno series synths
produced around the same time. Both machines use the
same interval-timer
DCO technology and use the
Roland IR3109 lowpass filter. It is a
polyphonic, 61 key
synthesizer with sawtooth,
50 and 10% pulse waveforms, and a noise generator.
It performs as a nice inexpensive vintage synth that
produces some great sounds, especially strings and
brass. It has 32 factory programs and user memory
for 32 programs, and a 128-step, six-part built-in
sequencer that can be triggered by sync voltage from
external devices such as the
Roland TR-707
drum machine. Instead of analog sliders and knobs,
the JX-3P used a series of buttons and a single data
slider for selecting parameters.
