Behringer JN-80 Synthesizer Information, Specifications and Resources

Author: Andy Merrett / Data Driven

Overview

The Behringer JN-80 is a synthesizer released this year. It is aimed at musicians wanting to create and modify their own sounds.

The JN-80 has 49 semi-weighted full sized keys with touch sensitivity and aftertouch. It has eight notes of polyphony. It has a sustain/damper pedal. It has built-in MIDI capabilities. It has no built-in learning system. It has no built-in speakers which means you will have to connect it to external amplification and speakers in order to hear it. It runs from AC power.
