    THE PROS & CONS

    +

    It’s more than just a direct digital recreation of the original JX-8P

    Portable–using batteries and the built-in loudspeaker

    Increased polyphony and layering take it closer to the JX-10 sound

    The small controls are quite fiddly

    Both envelopes share the same controls, making detailed patch editing frustrating

    New features don’t include Pulse Width Modulation

    Other manufacturers may borrow design ideas
