New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
Do we take it the official covers are not as high quality as the SG ones? are they the same thickness, material etc?
Seeing the new system 8 has those brushed aluminum panels just like I was asking for 'add on' stickers/replacement panels for JD-XA makes me a bit sick, esp as the system 8 is both a cheaper and far less impressive "synthesizer".
Still, at least I'm glad to have the XA over the System 8, don't care what improvements and end cap add-ons they have introduced for it. They'll never have the XA's sound/power! :)

I don't have any at the moment, but I could make a few more if people want them. I think a lot of people have been holding off to see what Roland's plan is with theirs.prophonic wrote:@synthgraphics: Jamie, are you doing another run of JD-XA overlays, your website says they are sold out.
After watching the install video it looks like the same plastic material they are using for the System-1 overlays, I have the SH-2 overlay for mine. If that's the case then they are thin plastic, but the quality is good. Not sure how well the 4 little sticker tabs will work, seems to me you would get dust and gunk under them after awhile??
Cheers! Jamie
PS. Pretty excited about the System-8, I ordered one! Will be great paired up with the JD-XA and will condense my setup with Jupiter-8, Juno-106, and SH-2 all in ONE keyboard with the ability to split and layer the 4 different engines will be very welcomed!!! :) I still have and use a Juno-106 and SH-2 (Jupiter-8 died like 15 years ago sadly and was not repairable)

Sounds great, i would be interested. I'll check out the Roland overlay and let you know.SynthGraphics wrote: I don't have any at the moment, but I could make a few more if people want them. I think a lot of people have been holding off to see what Roland's plan is with theirs.
What happened to your Jupiter-8 that it became unrepairable, transport accident ? They are sturdy beasts and should survive WW3 and parts are not unobtainable (touch wood).

Hi Jamie,
I would be interested to get your version. Do you think a new batch would be possible until the end of the year ?
Let me know.
Kind regards,
Len

Are you still planning to do an overlay for the JD-Xi? I'd be buying one if you do it.SynthGraphics wrote: I don't have any at the moment, but I could make a few more if people want them.

Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
Yeah, if I get 10-12 people to commit I can do another batch for sure. My fear is getting stuck with a bunch of out of pocket expensive overlays that may never get sold.len73 wrote:Hi Jamie,

I kinda scrappd the JD-Xi, seems no one was really that interested or Roland would have made one as well, lol ;)
Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
I perfectly understsnd your point.
Would be interesting if you could open a kind of "pre-order" for both synths.
I will order for both (JDXi and JDXa). Have been waiting for the JDXi for quite a while now (you posted some sample on FB)
Just let me know how to proceed !
Best regards

Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
FWIW, the Synthgraphics overlays are exceptional quality. Very high quality product. When I first put them on my first impression was that I could finally see everything! In a standing position, there are only two settings hidden from view - the LP3 and HPF filter labels. Everything else is perfectly readable and not obscured.
Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
Yes that would be great, given the chance I'd pre-order a JD-Xi overlay.len73 wrote: Would be interesting if you could open a kind of "pre-order" for both synths.
@SynthGraphics:
How many orders would you need for one batch for the JD-Xi?
If you also mention it on GS I'm sure there would be no problem in getting at least 10-12 orders (probably more).
Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
I'd assume its not just the numbers, but the man hours required to accurately measure and draw up a new faceplate to suit the JD-Xi... It would have to be totally commercially viable unless he wanted one for himself :P
Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
I'm under the assumption that he already did that, I saw the designs of the JD-Xi overlays posted on gearslutz (or was it on this forum? can't remember for sure where, but I definitely saw them) a while ago.Myrk- wrote:I'd assume its not just the numbers, but the man hours required to accurately measure and draw up a new faceplate to suit the JD-Xi
Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
This is correct. If i remember well Jamie published some teasers on his Facebook page Here's the link --> https://www.facebook.com/synthgraphics/ ... =3&theater.
Job seems to be done on the overlay of the JDXi.
I would order for both synths (JDXi and JDXa) if the orders are opened.
Hope Jamie will read this message...

Re: New Front Panel Overlay coming for JD-XA
Well it seems people still want my version, been getting lots of requests so I'll do another production run! :)
Main complaint I hear is they don't the fact they only have 4 little tabs to stick them down and still can't read the labels.
