Roland Clan Forums

Assuming you are using Windows, have you installed the Roland driver for the JD-Xi on your laptop?

Also make sure that both the JDXi Manager and the JD-Xi itself are set to the same RX/TX channel.

I highly doubt that there will be another OS update for the JD-Xi, the JD-Xi is 5 years old now and to my knowledge Roland has never provided OS updates to any synth so many years after launch.

That said, there are already ways to overcome the 4 bar limit:

Where have you read about an upcoming firmware update for the JD-Xi?

So, I created a Windows program that provides a simple graphical UI to let me sequence patterns into songs using drag/drop. The program needs the JD-Xi connected through USB (haven't tried over other midi interface). The program works as an external sequencer, requiring the JD-Xi to be in slave mod...

Thanks for sharing that, it will definitely be useful for other Chromebook users.

You could try installing WINE and then using the Windows version of my JDXi Manager on MacOS. https://www.winehq.org/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/macosx/download.html According to feedback from some people it seems to work, see for example: http://forums.rolandclan.com/viewtopic.php?f=58&t...

Just want to give the forum my feedback, I tried yesterday with WINE on my macbook OSX 10.10 and everything worked fine for me. That's very good to know, but please keep in mind that unfortunately I cannot provide support for the JDXi Manager running on OS X, as I don't own a Mac, and therefore hav...

The JDXi Manager is for Windows and Linux only.

There never has been a version for Mac.

You are looking for the okJDXiEditor which is a different program by a different person.

I cannot help you with that one as I don't have a copy of it and I have no idea where to find it.

You can always find details about all the changes and improvements for each new release listed in the release notes: http://jdxi-manager.linuxtech.net/#relnotes

in digital sinth I can change the parameters of the 3 parts at the same time? For example, changing the waveform and the ADSR of the 3 parts at the same time? Not currently, it's not so trivial to implement, but I might add that at some point. What you can do since version 0.28 is create one partia...

Hey guys, I realize this may be a stupid question but I'm going to ask it anyway: this won't work with the Gaia SH-01, right? No, it's tailor-made for the JD-Xi. is this open source No. I mean would it take a lot of work if, say, a developer like myself wanted to implement a new keyboard or make a ...

In that case there is definitely something wrong with your JD-Xi, maybe it's just a dodgy connector but in any case it needs looking at by a repair technician.

How where you editing patches?
Directly on the JD-Xi or with an editor (which one)?

I suspect that your JD-Xi is faulty, I have never heard of anyone else experiencing what you described.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you like the editor.
Android tablet support is very unlikely, I don't even own an Android tablet myself, but you could use a Windows tablet (with Intel CPU) instead.

3. (Similar to 2 above): allow partials to be copied/moved between Digital Synth 1 and 2.

This is now implemented in the latest release.
