So i wrote an e-mail to Roland about the bugged parameter sequencing in the JD-XA. Its not working as described in the manual. They answered Roland Germany would be responsible for my region. So i went on and wrote Roland Germany an e-mail. Of course they said they wouldnt be responsible for OS upda...

looking good!

On certain things you really need the headroom. For drive, or when you crossover resonant things to be played polyphonically. Using balanced cables (if your interface/mixer supports them) also gives an additional 6db in gain. XA's output is balanced! Many overlook that small fact (i certainly did) a...

Many seem to have problems to get p-locks to work. It works for me, if there is enough sequencer memory left. You cant check that besides seeing wethere it works or not. However, one thing is important and different to whats in the manual. when you go into step mode to record paramters.. you press o...

Didnt know this. Great hint, thanks for sharing!

Hi, When using the jd xa keyboard to record midi for a vst for example, it records 4 layers of each note. Any idea how to stop this? Also when recording in midi for the jd xa, If I want to add layers or take away layers the midi doesn't respond to this and just plays the same layers. I don't want t...

It does when you use all 4 analog parts in poly mode. Think of it like .. 4 analog parts and 4 digital parts. They are connected 1 to 1. You can not route D1 into A4 for example.

Not such problems on my JD. Seems like a warranty issue.

any news / confirmation about this?

I am starting to get afraid there wont be much love coming for the synth anymore too.

Would be very nice if Roland kept people informed about their plans. Is anyone of the developers even reading this?

i cant download them from there... is anyone able to post them without google drive?

The big disappointment is that its not real p-locks because each step which does not have a parameter value in it should be reading the current knobs. If you've used Elektrons you know what that means - special parameters on some steps but still having full realtime control from the front panel for...

As we already discussed in another forum, the function is working, but appears to be unreliably at the moment. When you push Step Rec and push a step button it will switch the step off. Once turned back on you can hold the step button, tweak the parameter.. when you let go, the parameter is p-locked...

can we see the sequencer upgrade as one combined issue of the 3 or 4? collected from various threads: including -pattern change gap -longer patterns (please at least 16bars, 24 would be better), -Chain/song mode - Ability to go from one sequence program to the next with out the sequencer stopping -...

I second the ideas and would sign such a petition. However, wehn it comes to polite wording you should avoid words like "glaring oversight". However, lets not ask for every detaily thing and individual wish. I'd rather focus on the main 4 - 5 and try to get a reaction from Roland first bef...

The reference manuals hold the waveform lists for both synths. Here is the 800 one (section V page 34): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxaMB7V7jSF9MTEwZjhiNTYtODRiNi00MDc1LTg5NWYtZjNkMTQwMzBjNmVm/view?ddrp=1&hl=en# Here is the JD-XA one (page 74): http://cdn.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/JD-XA_P...
