Re: Key Velocity help!

Hi guys, which is the parameter to set the keyboard dynamics for a patch from zero? I'm referring to the key response when I Play (hard, soft) Tx in advance Menu - System Arrow across to KEYTOUCH: (there are several sub menus) I find keeping velocity set to REAL, VELO CRV to Heavy works well. Gener...

Re: System 8 in your JD-XA?

Thanks guys. This weekend... I started prepping my wife for the inevitable purchase of the Boutique D-05. This process, typically involves a few months of "these are bits, I really need..." :) Joe I used to own 2 D550's and use the V-Synth with a VC-1 Card but the D-05 looks tempting as I...

Re: Petitioning Roland for JD-XA updates.

That's made by Oscar who is just some dude on the facebook group, I remember him posting a while back about how he would one day get a patch set on Axial (being very bitter about everything hahahaha). I don't think he's anyone famous or well known - Roland would be way better off just putting Gatto...

Left a wordy reply on the FB group - you seem to be over complicating a simple setup procedure IMHO.

Re: filter problem

Just tested this myself. Had to make sure there were zero filter mods going on elsewhere ie: LFo1 or 2, Via Velocity, Mod LFO and/or Wheel 1/2 and After touch. The key tracking seems pretty solid of about a three octave range and only starts to drift in very low or very high registers on my unit. Th...

Re: filter problem

I think you seem to be confused about how poly stack works. It is the one sound played as z 4 voice poly analog. If you turn Stack On the Voice with both the Blue Light and the Yellow Light Below it becomes the master voice all the voices when played are replications of it. So if for example i have ...

Re: Free Custom JD-XA Sound bank for download - enjoy

To all of you who have enjoyed and/or downloaded these i just wanted to say thank you. I am working on more in a yellow ambient, atmospheric, weird effects and chill out vein that will be a much larger sound collection. Just for clarification all the patches with sequenced parts had the patterns seq...

Re: Free Custom JD-XA Sound bank for download - enjoy

Great job Venn!! These sounds are marvellous and show the versatility of the XA very well. And dare I say, it more useable than the OS1.5 sounds... Many thanks for sharing with the XA community :) Thanks Cello, and to everyone else. I am working on a sag more sounds slowly but surely and would even...

Re: Probably preaching to the choir ...

all good ideas ! (well , for the sounds: a VennD68 & EBDA1176 soundsets (and some others) would also be great if Eric P is not at disposal ;) but i also like many of the stock sounds, same for the Axial banks ) I am going to be doing a sound set but I honestly need more time with the synth to d...

New little crossover synthesis demo for anyone interested

Here is another demo of Roland's JD-XA - I wasn't happy with the end result of the last experiment so reprogrammed this from an intitialized patch and created a fresh demo. I have an analog poly patch in unison mode. A single digital oscillator using a PWM 2 waveform on digital part 1. With dual det...

You don't lose anything - the idea is to give the sequencer more play back options than bog standard start to end within a 4 bard context.

Sequencer - software update request

I have mentioned this via Twitter to Paul McCabe @RolandCanada after seeing the new Boutique synths. How would everyone feel or view this as a massive sequencer improvement - for me it would be invaluable. Plays Modes - 1. FWD - start to end and repeat 2. BKWD - play in revers from end to start 3. A...

Re: Analog part 1 sounds when digital part is on

Are you using the JD-XA connected via USB ? If so you need to be aware the if the send channel is Channel One then any other active part will always activate the 1st Analog voice looping the midi input back out to your JD-XA. Either have it set to send / receive on all channels (which I do in Logic ...

Re: JD-Xa - 4 times the value of the JD-Xi?!

An impossible question perhaps. I already have an Xi and have found it to be a really intuitive instrument that readily matches my approach and chosen style of music. It seems great value for such little money and whilst obviously cut back to maintain low cost it delivers a great deal. So naturally...
