Roland Clan Forums

the 1.5 update also includes an updated soundset. you can download the "version 1.0 sound set" here: http://axial.roland.com/category/jd-xa/

you have to make a backup of your own sounds before an update (eg to usb). everything will be overwritten.

well i guess it could be the battery? will try to change it but then all my patches are gone f***!!!

i have 3 ram cards for my d50 and one of them says „illegal card“ for a few days now. the other 2 are still working fine. allready tried to clean the contacts but didn’t help. any ideas?

This is not viewed as a problem for you guys? Any workarounds on roland? there are very few synths that do this. maybe workstations. that would recommend double the processing power. i personaly never change patches in a song. like a guitar player or a drummer never changes his instruments in the m...

an lfo is by definition not static.
maybe you're confusing lfo and oscillator?
can you post an example?

if you mean only 1 voice is affected by the lfo, the lfo's are per part (analog 4 parts, digital 12 parts), so you can just add it to one part.

just in case anyone missed those fantastic patches

happy new year!

chordmemory
by holding a chord and press unison

random voice detune
pitch randomisation with every key press for more vintage feel

global lfo for the analog part
possibility to sync the lfo of all 4 voices but free running

2nd thing would be a data entry knob. Suggestion: shift+mute button turns the Volume knob into a data entry knob.. until shift+mute is pressed again. second that! plus fix the arpeggiator. we should expect the cpu to be underpowered. so a massive update of functionality of the sequencer most probab...

yeah had this problem too. i waited like 4 weeks or so for the fix. if youre lucky you get it back within a week but you never know.

Lets hope Roland give us a Shift + ? shortcut for selecting waves in the future as it is the most laborious every day function of an otherwise hands on instrument. i wouln't count on it. if roland would make an update to change things it would be like admitting a mistake. and you know what samurais...

no i didn't

edit: sorry i was actually talking about the term "hybrid" above.
but crossover means more or less the same. a combo of analog and digital.
and yes it's a roland marketing term.

not in front of the jdxa, but it should be possible using the matrix and assign cc31 (aux mix) to an lfo.

if it's a monophonic sound just add another analog part layer with modulated noise only.

usually it means digital waves going through an analog filter.
this is also true for the jdxa but you can also cross-/ring mod the analog with the digital part or just run them parallel or use digital and analog filters in series.

can't stop playing with kebu's vangelis brass!
just needs a tiny bit instability tweaking :)
