Roland Clan Forums

though i rally do like the JD-XA especially for the bass sounds, i sold mine now. i just could not take Roland zero communication anymore, plus the JD-Xi being able to change presets without sequencer stopping and all that and on top getting an update with sidechaining... while the multiple times mo...

What's wrong with Roland UK? What do they need receipt and serial for? They should be glad you are using a JD-XA. Jesus...

Hi, When using the jd xa keyboard to record midi for a vst for example, it records 4 layers of each note. Any idea how to stop this? you maybe got stack mode for the analog synth turned on? Also when recording in midi for the jd xa, If I want to add layers or take away layers the midi doesn't respo...

i don't think so, but still....

So, the jd-xi gets its 1.5 update and gets: Interactive Chord function Transpose function Shuffle function Side Chain Compressor function Startup Program function vs our jd-xa 1.5 upgrade where we basically got the presets changed to the same ones we could already download from axial. It feels like...

Maybe it would be even better to start a page on which all the petitions adressed to instrument manufacturers are collected.

Let's assume we will see more petitions the next months/years, i'd guess they gain power if being "bundled" on one page instead of getting lost singularly.

@ mat & jdboy

some good ideas !

I asked ROLAND GER about a new OS for the JD-XA, so - at least(!) - patterns can be switched without stopping the sequencer. The did not have any information. I emailed ROLAND headquarter. No answer at all. And you all know that it is like that. But 30 new products for 909 day, that's important, of ...

i did 2 short demos for one of my absolute fav synths, the analog monosynth HYPERSYNTH XENOPHONE demo 1&2 concentrate on Acid patches and the incredible drum & percussion sequences you can do with it. used was only 1 XENOPHONE, no overdubs, no external sequencing or fx. http://www.matrixsynt...

i just want to see one thing on 9.9:

a proper OS for the JD-XA to make it useable live and standalone
(transpose, pattern switching without stopping, choose different midi CNTRL settings per patch,
longer max. bars, individual track length)

instead of 30 new products (also with unfinished OS?)

Then just be happy with what you've got and your workflow (external sequencer).
Headache gone.

Funny, cause i think, there is no other "groovebox" that can give you the same "authentic" & "all in one box" Italo, (Neo)Disco, (dark)Wave), 80s, Electro and what else. I think it's a fantastic groovebox & sequencer. That#s why i miss a few elemental small fixe...

some contradicton again, sorry: Don't want to be rude, but i know all those arguments/excuses. Neithter do i see a sequencer that is advertised to have the ability to route 8 tracks to external equipment as "scratchpad", nor do i expect wonders. Pattern switching without stopping is a MINI...

i hoenstly don't think a) on such a quite pricey synth b) with many years of ROLANDS experience and history my "extra-wishes" would be any entitlement-thinking. In company history, hey HAD more bars, the HAD pattern chaining, they HAD the ability to change patterns without stopping the seq...

For me and many others it is not fine. Pattern switching / chaining Midi Kontrol mapping per patch at least 8 bars ( MC 303 had more 20 years ago) different track length i would love to use the jd-xa for external gear without stopping after each pattern ROLAND , 30 new products, but no new JS-XA OS ...
