The Roland OP-8 interface was designed to control Roland polyphonic synthesizers that were equipped with a DCB ( Digital Control Bus) interface via the Roland MC-4 Microcomposer. [1] The OP-8 and synthesizer were connected together using a DCB cable. The OP-8 and MC-4 Microcomposer were then patched together using patchcords via each of their patchbays. [1] The transpose control on the OP-8 was able to transpose the synthesizer up or down by one octave. [1]
The Jupiter 8 needed minor changes in its circuit for setting up with the OP-8. This work was carried out by Roland. [1]
When using the OP-8 with a Roland Juno 60 the connection and operation were extremely easy, as only the CV and gate input jacks, and the transpose switch were relevant. [1]
