Get the Best of Both Worlds with the New Roland JD-XA Analog/Digital Crossover SynthesizerThe Roland JD-XA is a unique crossover synth that brings together analog warmth and digital versatility in one super-creative, no-compromise instrument. First, there’s a four-part, all-analog monster with true analog filters and a direct dry output. Next up is a four-part digital engine powered by Roland’s SuperNATURAL synth technology, plus an impressive selection of potent effects. Roland JD-XA’s engines can be used independently or interactively, providing an incredibly flexible platform for sound design, studio work, and live performance. Use the analog and digital parts side by side, stack them up for total sonic devastation, or shape digital waveforms via the analog filters to create sounds never heard before. With the Roland JD-XA, you can forget about analog or digital-just close your eyes, imagine how the future sounds, and start creating music.The Analog EngineEach of the Roland JD-XA’s four analog parts has two oscillators, along with filter and amp sections and four envelopes-all with incredibly fast attack and response times. You also get two LFOs, with super-smooth coverage from ultra-slow to ultra-fast. Start by creating your sound from scratch, or configure the Roland JD-XA as an eight-oscillator, pure analog version of the legendary Supersaw waveform. Or invoke the power of Poly Stack mode for warm, organic four-note chords that will sweep you away. Once you’ve got that killer analog sound, you can route it directly to the analog dry output or send it to the onboard digital effects for further experiments in the art of sound design.The Digital EngineThe Roland JD-XA doesn’t just do classic analog- it’s also equipped with a completely separate four-part, 64-voice digital sound engine powered by Roland’s acclaimed SuperNATURAL synthesizer technology. This lets you play some of the most expressive and natural sounds available anywhere, as the Roland JD-XA is compatible with the synth engine from the INTEGRA-7 sound module, a firm favorite of top producers, composers, and sound designers. And if you need some extra inspiration, visit Roland’s online Axial community and download the latest creations from high-end programmers to tap into great sounds for a wide variety of genres.16-Track Pattern Sequencer with Real-Time and Step RecordingWith all this sonic power at hand, you’ll want to dive in and start making music straight away. To get your creativity flowing, the Roland JD-XA has a comprehensive 16-track pattern sequencer with 8 tracks for internal parts and 8 tracks for external sources, allowing you to build sequences and loops quickly and intuitively. Use real-time recording mode to lay down parts in a familiar linear fashion, or step recording mode to create in the old-school pattern style. However you like to work, this sequencer is designed to keep you connected to your music-the Roland JD-XA is all about inspiration, not interruption.Advanced synthesizer with independent analog and digital sound enginesDiscrete analog synth engine (four parts) with 2 x OSC, Filter, Amp, 4 x Env (2 x Pitch, Filter, Amp), and 2 x LFO per voice plus Analog Dry Out for raw signal outputAnalog filter section features 4-Pole, transistor-ladder, and multi-mode (LPF/HPF/BPF) filters with a supremely smooth, natural response to knob movementsOSC section includes Cross Mod, Ring Mod, and OSC Sync, all of which can be used simultaneouslyLFO rate covers a wide range from ultra-slow to ultra-fastIncredibly fast attack envelope timeSeparate digital section built around SuperNATURAL synth engine (four parts, 64 voices) thats compatible with INTEGRA-7 sound libraries from Rolands online Axial sound portalDigital parts can be routed through the analog filter section for warm, organic resultsComprehensive effects with MFX for all parts plus five system effects (Reverb, TFX1, TFX2, Delay, and Master EQ)Flexible routing options for highly creative sound designIntuitive 16-track pattern sequencer (8 tracks for internal parts, 8 tracks for external parts) for fast creation of songs and loopsOnboard USB, MIDI, and CV/GATE interfaces plus flexible MIDI control functionality make the JD-XA the ideal centerpiece for live performance and music productionMic input allows you to modulate synth sounds with your voice and explore classic Vocoder functionalityPlenty of backlit knobs, sliders, and controllers for hands-on sound shapingSPECIFICATIONSKeyboard49 keys (with velocity and channel aftertouch)Maximum PolyphonyAnalog Part: 4 voicesDigital Part: 64 voices (varies according to the sound generator load)StructureAnalog Part: (2 OSCs + AUX, 1 Filter, 1 AMP, 2 Pitch ENV, 1 Filter ENV, 1 AMP ENV, 2 LFOs and 1 MOD LFO)Digital Part: 4 parts (3 Partial [3 OSCs, 3 Filters, 3 AMPs, Envelopes for each section and LFOs]) (Digital Part uses SuperNATURAL Synth tones that is compatible with the Integra-7.)Analog OscillatorOscillator waveforms: Saw, Square, Pulse/PWM, Triangle, SineKnobs/Sliders: Pitch, Fine, Cross Mod, Pulse Width, Pulse Width ModulationPitch Envelopes: Attack, Decay, Envelope DepthModulation: Cross Modulation, Ring Modulation, Oscillator Sync (A-OSC2 is applied as modulation to A-OSC1)Digital OscillatorOscillator waveforms: Saw, Square, Pulse/PWM, Triangle, Sine, VariationKnobs/Sliders: Pitch, Fine, Pulse Width, Pulse Width ModulationPitch Envelopes: Attack, Decay, Envelope DepthModulation: Ring Modulation (Partial2-OSC is applied as modulation to Partial1-OSC)Analog FilterFilter Type: LPF1, LPF2, LPF3, HPF, BPF, BypassKnobs: Cutoff, Resonance, Key Follow, Envelope Depth, HPF, DriveEnvelope: Attack, Decay, Sustain, ReleaseDigital FilterFilter Type: LPF1, LPF2, LPF3, HPF, BPF, Variation, BypassKnobs: Cutoff, Resonance, Key Follow, Envelope Depth, HPFEnvelope: Attack, Decay, Sustain, ReleaseAnalog AmplifierKnobs: LevelEnvelope: Attack, Decay, Sustain, ReleaseDigital AmplifierKnobs: LevelEnvelope: Attack, Decay, Sustain, ReleaseLFOLFO Waveform: Triangle, Sine, Saw, Square, Sample and Hold, RandomKnobs/Sliders: Rate, Fade Time, Pitch Depth, Filter Depth, Amp DepthTempo SyncMixerLevel: A-OSC 1, A-OSC 2, AUXMicVocoderMIC ModulationEffectsMFX: 8 systems, 67 types (each part has a MFX)Part EQ: 8 systems (each part has a Part EQ)TFX: 2 systems, 29 typesDELAYREVERB: 6 typesMaster EQMic Input Reverb: 8 typesPattern SequencerTracks: 16Patterns are saved as a programSMF import supportedArpeggioPreset pattern: 64Patterns are saved as a programControllersPitch bend and modulation leverPitch and modulation wheelsDisplay16 characters 2 line LCDExternal StorageUSB Flash memoryUser Program MemoryInternal: 256 GBUSB Flash Memory: 256 GBConnectorsPHONES jack: Stereo 1/4-inch phone typeMAIN OUTPUT jacks (L/MONO, R): 1/4-inch TRS phone typeANALOG DRY OUTPUT jack: 1/4-inch phone typeCLICK OUTPUT jack: Stereo 1/4-inch phone typeMIC jack: Combo type (XLR, 1/4-inch TRS phone), balancedFOOT PEDAL jacks (CTRL 1, CTRL 2, HOLD)CV/GATE OUTPUT jacks (2 systems): Miniature phone typeMIDI connectors (IN, OUT)USB COMPUTER port (USB Hi-Speed AUDIO/MIDI): USB B typeUSB MEMORY port: USB A typeDC IN jackPowerPower Supply: AC AdaptorCurrent draw: 3,000 mADimensionsWidth: 35-7/16 inchesDepth: 15-5/16 inchesHeight: 4-3/8 inchesWeight: 14 lbs. 6 ozManufacturer:RolandModel:JD-XASKU:I360132-N-1-WHXEUPC: 761294506226We are Chuck Levin’s Washington Music CenterSince 1958, Chuck Levins Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
