The background will be solid black. The translucant photo you see is the test die cut - I use a translucent mylar so I can see items under the test cut for reference.

I love it. The overlay looks wonderful. I think it's just what we all want.

Question: What is the finish of the overlay. Is it super reflective like the real keyboard? Or is it glare free?

I think Glare Free would be preferred. JMHO

Thanks for a great job SynthGraphics.... Very Well Done!!!

It's a matte finish so no glare. If you have seen a modern Moog (Voyager, Sub-37, Phatty) or a Prophet-08 front panel I use the exact same printing process, materials, and finish. So that will give you a idea of the finished look and quality. Extremely tough stuff!

Here's a quick mockup in Photoshop.

I can't wait for the new panel graphics!!!
Now I think in the future I will try to replace the Frankenstein bolts that they used on the area around the panel, it has a look of an old Chevy from the 50's.

I love this synth, inside this beast is a remarkable synth!!
But the Roland visual graphics team that designed the overall look of the JDXA in my opinion really, really, really blew it!
They never took the user in mind.......they put their vision of form over function, and function meaning the user's ability to read the panel......very simple concept.

Thanks Synthgraphics for the new design!
You should replace the Roland hardware graphics design team!

That really looks magnificent! Great job Jamie!

You banged out that graphic really fast, hat's off to your talent! :)

Superb work SynthGraphics!

Sorry to be off-topic, but do you have plans to produce a similar skin for the JD-Xa's little brother, JD-Xi ?

Thanks

[SynthGraphics]

Here are JD-XA SHIFT parameters

SHIFT + Cutoff = Cutoff Fine -50 to +50
SHIFT + Key Follow = Key Follow Fine -50 to +50
SHIFT + ENV Depth = Velocity Amount -63 to +63
SHIFT + VCA = Velocity Amount -63 to +63
SHIFT + Pitch ENV = Velocity Amount -63 to +63
SHIFT + OSC Sync = OSC Phase Sync
SHIFT + LFO Tempo Sync = LFO Key Trigger
SHIFT + Octave Transpose +/- = Tone (Part) Octave -3 to +3

Digital Only
SHIFT + OSC Pitch = AMP Pan L64 to R64

Since the manual is extremely basic, I actually stumbled across this and then looked for every SHIFT parameter I could. My new overlay will include them so you SEE them on the panel for easier editing.

Please let me know if anyone else knows of more - I tried to find as many as possible.

[Jack.S]

I want one, when its gone be ready for delivery?

Cheers
Jack

Synthgraphics, is there an area on your website where we can pre-order the JDXA panel graphics?
