A digital wavetable synth with a sequencer = a 3 OSC analog ?
The size of these REALLY bother me, some of those faders are maybe 2 cm. How can those stand up to nuances of the originalās faders? Which lets be honest, is why we play/want synths in the first place.
Also the compromises on polyphony to the OGās I find quite a bit suspect to what the f*ck is going on at Roland these days. How they rely on powerful brands of thiers, only to just totally miss the mark on delivery. Iāve never had any of the classic Roland boards except the Promars. Have played around with the JX, and the 106. But this was a lifetime ago, so I dont think those times can weigh in on where Iām at these days.
I would much rather see these guys follow in the footsteps of DSI, if this is the route they are gonna go.
GIVE MY ELEKTRONS WORTHY THINGS TO CONNECT UP TO!!!
I feel your pain on pretty much every point you made. Though I own a TR8 and love what it does and how it sounds - I find myself looking for more vintage synths in regards to Roland, their current stuff just doesnāt resonate with me for some reason. Maybe its the gaudy product design (sorry, I just think their glossy fingerprint-magnet design coupled with screaming neon colors looks ugly as hell) coupled with the mediocre demos Iāve come across - either way Iām hoping they throw the mitts off and do something outside of their current comfort zone.
Either way these smaller modules are pretty neat I admit, Iād love to try a couple out for the hell of it.
I see JX3Pās and the odd pg 200 enough times Iām feeling alright I will score one one day at a reasonable price.
Same with a 106.
I donāt super really want either of them as its getting a bit gassy in here already.
I dunno weāll see.
Might be a cool transition corner of my setup at best.
iām selling 2 ambikas right now under the for sale market pm if interested.
one has 4p and the other smr4
These are fun additions if you own the originals. Having a portable version to take on the road. Would be great to be able to use the 03 as a JX-3P controller. I would convert any possible midi CC to correspond with cc on the Organix mod.
in actionā¦
Thereās a bunch more videos up on YouTube now too. Waiting for sonicstate review etc but might grab at least one of these, prob the jp08. I have ms20 mini and a mininova and always feel like Iām missing something for nice thick vibey poly stuff and if the jp08 gets close enough then the Form factor is actually ideal for my setupā¦
Iāll be interested to hear what owners of the legit boards think in terms of authenticity with the soundsā¦
None of the videos I have seen are very inspired much beyond an "aw shucks, whoās gonna buy a cool(?) small sort-of-synth?
EVERYTHING is coming off rushed it seems with this line, from these micro faders, ANOTHER repackaging, these compositions(?)
Something better MUST be around the corner from these bandits.
If im grabbing more desktop gear, itās going to be the Mother 32s.
Exactly !
I HATE analog synthesis simulators. 
Itās like painting in Fotoshop - BWEUUUURKKKK 
( we need a vometing emoticon )

Hoping theyāve really nailed the sound. Otherwise stick to plan and keep saving for an A4ā¦ Just appeals to have all the controls on deck, even if they require tweezers
These might be fun but gosh Iām sick of the term āvirtual analogā, itās such double speak.
There are such good software emulations of the original synths already (with unlimited polyphony), you can just buy a little midi controller and youāve got all these for a fraction of the price.
Agreed, thatās probably where I am most cautious about these. This virtual analog business, they want you to believe so badly theyāve restricted the polyphony.
I dunno, Iāll admit the Kraft demo exhibits some great sounds out of them, but I will have to see for myself when my store is carrying them. If these do really cover the bases the originals boast, these would be a cool addition to my Roland synth-free studio.
Hereās the big deal breaker with theseā¦
Itās not the 4 voices, or the small size.
The Midi spec is about as bad as it gets if youāre wanting to drive these with an Elektron sequencer.
MD, OT, and MM ownersā¦ here are your CC# assignment options:
#1-Mod
#11-Expression Pedal
#64-Hold
Thatās it, thatās all, thatās all there is. 
So, so disappointing.
:::flips over table:::
Hereās the JX-03 midi chart, but theyāre all the same:
So rushed. There will be more of these on Craigslist than those Les Paulās you could get from Best Buy.
