The Roland JX-305 synthesizer was produced in 1998 by Roland. It is very similar to a Roland MC-505[1] with a piano keyboard added onto it. It is sensitive to velocity and has channel aftertouch. This keyboard was aimed at producers of dance and trance music and was also popular for live performances during the late 1990s.
The synth has nine MIDI control knobs and a two-line LCD display.
