Roland JD-XA Advanced Analog/Digital Crossover Synthesizer

Roland JD-XA Advanced Analog/Digital Crossover Synthesizer

ANALOG. DIGITAL. MAGICAL.

The Roland JD-XA is a Advanced Analog/Digital Crossover Synthesizer designed as a unique crossover synth that is bringing together digital versatility and analog warmth in one no- compromise, super-creative instrument. First, there’s a four-part, all-analog monster with a direct dry output and true analog filters. Next up is a powered by Roland’s SuperNATURAL synth technology four-part digital engine, plus an impressive selection of potent effects. The Roland JD-XA engines is able to use either interactively or independently, providing an incredibly flexible platform for live performance, sound design, and studio work. The user can use the digital and analog parts side by side, stack them up for total sonic devastation, or by the use of the analog filters you can shape digital waveforms to create sounds never heard before. With Roland JD-XA, you can forget about digital or analog- just feel the moment, listen with your ears and close your eyes, then imagine how the future sounds, and start creating music.
