JN-80 8-Voice Analog Keyboard Synthesizer

Behringer JN-80

Surf the seas of lush, vintage sound with the JN-80 from Behringer, an 8-Voice analog polyphonic keyboard synthesizer inspired by one of the greatest and most beloved polysynths of all time. Taking cues from a legendary Japanese polysynth, the JN-80 delivers exceptional analog sound that captures all the vintage magic of the original instrument with modern enhancements for the contemporary musician. Eight warm voices each with authentic oscillators, 3109-based filters, and 662 VCAs provide a rich foundation for creating everything from plucky arpeggios to profound pads. The 24dB low pass filter provides elegant sound sculpting with resonance control and both positive and negative envelope modulation. Use the versatile unison, double, or polyphonic modes to create massive lead and bass sounds, four-voice duophonic sounds, or expansive chords with a full eight voices. A dedicated sub-oscillator ensures low end support in any patch, while the multi-stage BBD chorus adds that classic shimmer any vintage synth lover will enjoy.

The JN-80's 49-key keybed supports aftertouch for expressive performance control, while the advanced arpeggiator makes quick work of creating spiraling rhythmic sequences as you press the keys. Route the LFO around to multiple destinations for complex sound design options, and use the polyphonic portamento and spring-loaded pitch and mod wheels to bend notes and timbres to your heart's content. At the back of the JN-80, connections for CV or expression and footswitch pedals let you expand control with external devices. While the JN-80's fader-per-function layout enables intuitive programming on the fly, the addition of a dedicated preset manager with 256 user program memories greatly enhances the JN-80's vintage sound with modern conveniences for studio and stage. Using the compare and match feature, you can easily make tweaks to your favorite patches, and audition your changes in comparison to the original to cultivate your signature sound. Likewise, comprehensive MIDI implementation makes this a fantastic centerpiece of control, and lets you directly control the synth from a DAW or hardware sequencer. Whether you're reveling in the sounds of the past or cutting a new path on your own musical journey, the JN-80 from Behringer is a fantastic instrument sure to inspire your next musical move.
