I highly recommend this patch collection! Geosynth really knows how to bring out the best from the System-8. I've learned a lot from studying Geosynth's patches for this and other synths (esp. OB-6 and DeepMind).

I agree--these are great patches! I also recommend the new System-8 banks from Geosynth!

This is really great news! I'm really enjoying the new update! Here's hoping that System-8 owners either get a break on Roland Cloud subscriptions or are given a discounted pathway to purchase the System-8/Jupiter-8/Juno-106 plugout editors. Doing so would be a smart way to boost sales, esp. since t...

Excellent! This does the job. Thanks so much for the helpful tutorial!

Is there any way to accomplish TD-style ratcheting with the Step Sequencer?

Great addition to the JD-XA! Thanks so much!

This looks great, but why is it only compatible with Sierra (OS 10.12)? That's a deal breaker for those of us who haven't upgraded to Sierra because of compatibility issues with other software. Is there some compelling reason why okSequencer isn't backwards compatible with pre-Sierra operating syste...

1. Register your JD-Xi with Roland.

2. Go to Service & Repair > Parts Order Request.

3. Fill out Parts Order Request form for "JD-Xi Panel Overlays."

4. Wait for confirmation from Roland that the overlays are on their way.

Just received the free JD-Xi overlays from Roland USA and the results are stunning! Thank you, Roland!

Just installed the free Roland overlays for the JD-XA. As far as I'm concerned, they look great and the price is right. The free overlays provide a huge improvement in legibility and reduction in reflected glare, fingerprints, etc. Thank you, Roland!

Just purchased. Superb sounds! Best Vangelis emulations I've heard from a Roland VA synth. Hope more JP80 sound banks will be forthcoming!

I'm trying to control the JP08 sliders with my Axiom 61 using Bome's MIDI Translator Classic. For some reason I cant get it going. I also have a Roland Juno 106 which uses SYSEX, I can control that fine with my Axiom and Bome's. I dont understand why the JP08 would be any diffrent unless Im missing...

Thanks for the helpful info! Something like the iOS app TB Midi Stuff, which handles bidirectional sysex, could probably be programmed for this purpose: http://www.thiburce.com/TBStuff/?page_id=423

I don't know the range of serial numbers, but I can tell you how I handled a similar problem with my own JD-XA. Since it was beyond the time that I could return it to the vendor, I spoke directly to Roland's tech support, who were very helpful. After ruling out other possibilities, Roland provided a...

I asked Roland tech support about this back in September and here was their response: "The JD-XA imports pattern data by their MIDI channel. MIDI Channel 1 = Track 1 MIDI Channel 2 = Track 2 MIDI Channel 3 = Track 3 Etc. So, you would need to change the MIDI channel to determine the track you w...
