Roland JD-08 – The digital classic reborn

Retro soul. Modern power.

The JD-08 brings the iconic sound and intuitive control layout of the legendary JD-800 into a new era. With its powerful electronic sound and hands-on approach to sound design, the JD-08 is built for the modern musician who demands depth, character, and mobility in a single instrument.

Authentic JD-800 sound. Ready for the future.
The JD-08 recreates the original four-tone structure, 108 waveforms, and the unique dual multi-effects that made the JD-800 a favorite among professional producers. With 64 classic presets and 256 user slots, there's plenty of room for nostalgia and fresh soundscapes alike.

Create, play, and move your music.
The built-in two-part polyphonic sequencer, motion recording, and arpeggiator let you shape and animate your sounds. From deep basslines and warm pads to complex leads – JD-08 is a complete tool for expressing your musical ideas.

Connect and integrate with your entire setup.
JD-08 works perfectly with both modern and vintage gear. It features a USB-C audio/MIDI interface, full-size MIDI I/O, and external clock input so you can sync and integrate effortlessly with your DAW, hardware, or Eurorack modules.

Compact and ready for anything.
JD-08 is small in size but big in sound. It can run on batteries, has a built-in speaker, and works easily with a master keyboard or computer. Add the DK-01 dock for a more stable setup or use the K-25m Keyboard Unit for a fully portable synth rig.
