JDXA input?

Post by MentalState »

Hi yo all!

Maybe I am a bit overwhelmed with this analog world I put myself into. And want to much.
But got a really nice setup now with JDXA, SE02 and Analog Four MK1. With Novation BS2 and Circuit on the side, waiting, for the moment...

Analog, sequencers, feedback, huge reverbs and delays. You name it.
And it sounds amazing!

But one thing is missing. The Vocoder! Ok, it's not missing but I don't use it.

Have anyone tried feeding the vocoder thru the jack?

I think about the feedback thing that many used on the Moog.
A function our friends at Roland gave us with "the little black beast" SE-02. =)

Is it a very bad idea, or is it perhaps easy achieved without ruin my Red beauty?

My first post here. So for a first and last time.
This is not my native language so be nice ;)

Wish you all a great and loud 2018 :)

The old trick of running the headphone Output on a MiniMoog into the external Input was to get additional gain for purpose of saturation/distortion/overload.

The JD-XA gain staging is such that you really don't need this. Just crank up the "Drive" control ... same kind of thing.

Sorry... after 10 days I stop checking in.

My questions was about to take like a "field recorder" with my voice/vocal already recorded on it and run that thru the MIC input.

I guess It works. But I dont´want to destroy my black (and red) knight =)

Should work fine. I often use the input for vocoder work on the XA.
