Mix-in jack
5
These new Boutiques continue the trend of having a handy mix-in jack via 1/8” input, which allows you to mix external sources with the sound of either synth. While there’s no volume control, this allows each of the boutiques to be used without a mixer for a more compact setup, greatly increasing the portability of using these instruments without adding bulk to your setup.
Furthermore, no need to look for old, outdated cables, as the JX-08 and JD-08 have now both been updated to be powered via USB-C. You can also still power each the old fashioned way with four double AA batteries, making each synth a truly portable experience.
