Synthesizer
Unique 49-key hybrid synthesizer that combines the warmth of analog and the versatility of digital in a single, hyper-creative, no-compromise instrument. If you wish, you can mix the analog and digital generator, but also use them independently. Soft and warm analog filters, powerful effects for all styles, 16-track sequencer with real-time or step recording, powerful and versatile routings easily accessible and voice modulation, and integrated vocoder! A beast for stage and production! USB interface and CV/GATE outputs for controlling analog gear.

Presentation
The JD-XA is a unique hybrid synthesizer that combines the warmth of analog with the versatility of digital in a single, uncompromisingly creative instrument. It’s a four-part all-analog beast, with true analog filters and a dry output. But it’s also a four-part digital sound generator, incorporating Roland’s SuperNATURAL Synth technology and an impressive array of powerful effects. The JD-XA’s generators can be used independently or interactively, putting an incredibly flexible sound design platform at your fingertips, whether in the studio or on stage. You can use the analog and digital parts together, combine them for devastating sonic power, or shape digital waveforms via the analog filters, creating sounds you’ve never heard before. With the JD-XA, you don’t have to worry about choosing between analog and digital; just close your eyes, imagine your future sounds, and create them.

The JD-XA's analog filter provides both a warm sound and an immediate response, for a very high level of sonic creativity. The precision and speed of the JD-XA's envelope is also important, as it defines the precision of the sound's contour. Each of the analog parts can have its own dedicated effects, and all parts can be processed together by digital effects such as a Master EQ, Chorus, Fuzz, etc.
The digital section offers a diverse palette of sounds, from fat synthetic waveforms to the most crystalline metallic timbres. Digital sounds can be sent to the analog filter, to be instantly endowed with organic richness. It is also possible, by using both generators at the same time, to create massive hybrid sounds. The Poly Stack mode, for example, allows the four analog parts to be superimposed for richness and body, then digital timbres to be added to spice it all up.
Roland’s famous Supersaw waveform, obtained via a digital part, can thus be transformed into a rich and warm pad sound simply by passing it through the analog filter. Even simple white noise can be transformed into a range of complex sound effects, ideal for film or video game music. First, enrich the noise with the two types of TFX, one of them providing a subsonic reinforcement, the second a short reverb to give it body. Then pass the resulting sound through one of the analog modulations Ring Mod or Cross Mod, and modify their parameters in real time to vary the colors of the timbres.
