The JD-XA is a unique crossover synth that brings together analogue warmth and digital versatility in one super-creative, no-compromise instrument. First, there’s a four-part, all-analogue monster with true analogue 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. The 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 analogue and digital parts side by side, stack them up for total sonic devastation, or shape digital waveforms via the analogue filters to create sounds never heard before. With the JD-XA, you can forget about analogue or digital—just close your eyes, imagine how the future sounds, and start creating music.
