Roland JX-305 GrooveSynth – Fully Working

Classic late-1990s Roland GrooveSynth in the distinctive blue finish.

The JX-305 combines a full-size 61-key synthesizer with the sequencing and dance-production features associated with Roland’s groovebox range. It’s closely related to the MC-505 concept, giving you a huge range of electronic sounds, drum kits, patterns, sequencing and hands-on real-time controls in keyboard form. reverb.com

Fully working and tested.

Includes the power supply and UK mains lead shown in the photographs, so it is ready to use.

Features include:

• 61 full-size velocity-sensitive keys
• Channel aftertouch
• 64-voice polyphony
• Built-in multi-track sequencer
• Large selection of synth patches and drum sounds

A particularly interesting Roland for house, techno, trance, jungle, drum & bass and other 1990s/early-2000s electronic music, as it combines a proper keyboard with a self-contained groove-production workflow.
