This manual was assembled, illustrated, and written by Sunshine Jones. All of the contents is taken from either his
personal experience, existing documentation, and techniques submitted and found in the public domain. The
document is intended as a companion guide for the Roland JX-03 Synthesizer Module. It is in no way offered as a
criticism, or intended to be an authoritative guide to replace the official documentation which accompanies the
commercial purchase of Roland Boutique, or Roland AIRA musical instruments.
Rather, this manual is intended to support the musician, the user of these and other synthesizer modules and inspire
them to create music, share sounds, and fully realize the synthesizers in front of them.
In the tradition of owner’s manuals, rarely are they opened until problems arise. We tell you over and over again to
RTFM, but do you listen? No, no you don’t. Manuals should be both tools for reference and instruction, as well as
inspirational guides to possibility. An owner’s manual should be equally a pre purchase discovery, meant to inspire
the curious with capability and possibility, and a post purchase celebration of depth, technique, guidance, and
surprises. But this is by no means the last word. So many people have read and re read a manual only to still have no
idea what the manual was attempting to suggest. This owner’s manual is offered free of charge to anyone curious, or
frustrated by the tiny little leaflet which covers the operations of the JX-03 in several languages, as a legible
alternative to the official documentation.
This manual is not associated in any way, personally or professionally with anyone connected to the Roland
Corporation. The task was undertaken in a moment of fury, and assembled, proof read, and then hastily produced
exclusively for love, and pleasure.
It is our hope that as the result you will begin to explore and discover layers of sound and joy which were previously
overlooked. We hope and trust that you will use these PATCH and BANK worksheets to document your discoveries,
and our extensive encouragement to share, and import patches of your own into a thriving community of exploration
and delight.

reader, and user of the Roland JX-03 synthesizer module, and must never be offered for sale or barter. This is
freeware, and free information for all.
