Roland JX-8P Editor and Librarian

Patch Base has the best Roland JX-8P editor and librarian available for Mac and iPad. Edit any parameter, organize patches, create random patches, and more.

The Roland JX-8P is a classic analog synthesizer from 1985 featuring two oscillators, high- and low-pass filters, two envelopes, two Chorus modes, and more. While it has a great sound and is capable of a wide array of tones, on-board editing is a bit of a pain with a single data slider and membrane buttons. Patch Base gives you easy editing of every voice parameter on the JX-8P, as well as a Tone Bank Editor to back up and organize your sounds.

Tone (Voice) Editor

Patch Base gives you quick, direct access to all of the parameters for JX-8P on one screen:

• Edit both oscillators, the filter, amp, 2 envelopes, LFO, and Chorus in real-time
• Copy and paste envelopes for easy editing
• Get a bird's-eye view of the whole structure of a JX-8P sound
• All of the "Patch" parameters are also on-screen to control Assign Mode, Unison Detuning, Pitch Bend, Portamento, and Aftertouch
• Save Tone and Patch data for a sound to a single file on your iPad or Mac

Tone Bank Editor

Edit and organize the 32 Tones stored in your JX-8P's memory. Patch Base gives you direct access to the bank, so you can organize patches and back them up to files on your device.
