You can save them. Hold down ‘write’ and it can save to whatever slot you want

This is so early!

Many thanks really appreciate hearing it

Lol, that's funny.

@@kiillabytez thankfully I figured it out

Many thanks. Yes that’s always a tricky one. I personally lean in favour of flagship, then you can augment it with soft synths if you need more diversity.

Many thanks 🙏

Yes it’s controlling basically all MIDI. I played it all on the XA rather than drag and drop. There’s cellos, violas, brass, synth bases, percussive rises and hits, and bizarre synth stabs all on Native Instruments Ultimate. Montage adds superknob textured rises, JD raw sound is close encounters of the 3rd kind riff, and the synth solo at the end.

Also I just added in time stamps with all the above info

Many thanks 🙏

Thanks, it’s used very broadly here. It controls a heap of orchestral soft synths on NI (cellos, violas, horns), provides analogue SFX for the close encounters part, an analogue lead for the end etc. it’s a really versatile instrument.

@@audienceimaginary i love mine - its the only synth Ive bought twice!

@@dags1965 did you appear on gear slutz and discuss re-buying? I read that somewhere

@@dags1965 I’d do the same. This unit I’ve had since 2016

Many thanks. I didn’t even know I had enabled public viewers to see this. Sort of just wanted to concoct an overview of my older work before I launch into a return to synths

Hi Horia, it's me signed in from a different account. I've never played either of those. All I could say is the montage is their flagship synthesizer and its sounds are excellent.

Thanks you very much !

Try arming the track and record it.

Hi Alan, many thanks for the comment. Sorry I only just saw this. I’ve been away from this realm for quite a while. Yes still have it. Don’t sell any patches, but could try to find them.

No I don't use any external (or any type) of reverb. It's just the raw sound of the XA. I am using an audio interface though, which then runs into a PC using Cubase Pro. I do notice that this creates a slightly unique sound due to the audio chain.

I have sold a few yes, I've got all patches that I've designed stashed away somewhere, plus some great banks of all my favourite pads and atmospheres from all the Axial sound sets.

@@audienceimaginary I am a producer of urban music and I am interested in some for genres such as Trap, Drill, Hiphop and R&B, I am interested. let's do business.

@@RLoupe yep can do. email me what sorts of sounds you require audienceimaginary@gmail.com

Send me an email I’ll try to get it through to you audienceimaginary@gmail.com

I’m prob biased because I still have one, but I’d agree with that. I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets mentioned in a decade or so in the same way that the JD-800 does now. When I have time I hope to do many more videos with complex original patches that can echo on to help it’s legacy.

@@audienceimaginary i cant get away from it it has that haunting japanese sound. Ive stopped using my rev2 it comes to thin in my ears anymore..jdxa to the rescue..gonna pull the trigger on one next month. That thing is a minimal techno pads machine 😂

Sounds good, don’t think you will regret it. The only thing I ever say to people (having owned one for 4 years), is that it can sound properly shit if it isn’t tweaked properly. Also some of the presets aren’t to everyone’s liking. You probably already know all this. But in my opinion it can be the sort of instrument that at a glance is very disappointing, but then when you dig in it’s amazing.

@@audienceimaginary well i like instant clarification on my synths and i know jdxa is nowhere near that field haha it needs proper sound design but having 8 tracks there to manipulate and knowing you can do everything with just the jdxa is where the real fun is. The only other synth i like in matters of sound is the prologue but the lack of sequencer it isnt for me. So yeah jdxa all day long🖤

Yeah sounds like you will like it. I spent about 2 hours playing a Prologue and was very impressed with how clean it sounded. It was very smooth and the filters sounded excellent to me. It’s pure analogue though. Also, the action was very nice. Tough one between that and JD-XA, I’d say the XA is more versatile overall, but the prologue is better than just the XAs analogue section (it has far more polyphony etc). It is the combination of analogue and digital that makes the JD-XA so interesting and some of its patches so bizarre and cool.

Yes definitely, it’s superb for bass. Especially when you think about the JD-XA’s architecture/ style of subtractive audio chain when making a monophonic patch. On this you could make a bass patch with 4 layers of real analogue (which alone sounds great due to the huge amount of user control), plus up to 16 layers of digital. With this you can have a very multifaceted interesting bass sound or a very clean rich and smooth sound.
