Roland’s JD-XA is the perfect combination of digital precision and expansiveness with 100% analog voices. The synthesizer is comprised of two different parts: the first is a four-part all-analog section featuring 2 oscillators per part (for a total of 8 oscillators), a filter, amplifier sections, four envelope sections, and two LFOs. This is a great place to begin creating sounds which can then be sent to a dry analog output, or to the synthesizer’s onboard digital effects section. These effects range from traditional ones like Reverb, Delay, and EQ, to more esoteric processing techniques like Bitcrushing.
The unit features a microphone input through which a connected mic can serve as an expressive modulation source to control parameters like filter cutoff and cross-modulation. Additionally, the JD-XA features a built-in USB interface for seamless DAW integration and a CV/Gate interface for interaction with modular gear. All of this make the JD-XA a powerful, highly capable synthesizer that is a perfect addition to the studio or stage.
