Hi, can somebody tell me please what does the term "crossover" mean in the world of synthesizers ??
Thanks.

I think in the world of Roland marketing... crossover means the JD-XA is able to use both digital and analog technologies when building timbres. It's purely a marketing term.

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.

It means you get cross over the price.

You get cross over what you paid for it last week.

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.
