    Hey everyone! We made a follow-up video, answering some questions and comments from this video: ua-cam.com/video/flbCoNUH0lE/v-deo.html . Check it out if you're still curious about this feature! Thanks - BT x

    glad you shared this
    I saw this before I got mine and most folks missed the feature entirely :-)
    all version of the Korg MS-20 have this as well - it's a pitch to CV feature
    either this board of the MS-20 will allow you to use any monophonic input - guitar lead, voice, or a theremin :-)

    Wow, thanks mate. I've had my JD-XI for about 2/3yrs now and had no idea about this.

      Great stuff. We don’t actually use the auto-note that much, but the drum samples it has are pretty great, as is the analogue synth

    • @BoxtapeRocksYou
      @BoxtapeRocksYou  7 років тому

      Cool yeah give it a go! Best fun to be had playing with the effects knobs and general riffing. Stay away from chords I'd say though, it only tracks one note at a time

    would open more possibilities using a Splitter before to make up the original guitar sound to stack it up.

    I just bought the JD-Xi yesterday, and I'm lovin'' it so far. I wonder if you could use Jam Origin's "MIDI Guitar 2" and the JD-Xi together in a DAW so you could, for lack of a better word, "stack" MIDI sounds ontop of each other and use them all at once as you play? I can't think of a reason why you couldn't unless the JD-Xi's built-in effects/sounds can't transfer over and be played live in a DAW... Well, I'ma 'bout to check and see if I can figure out how to do that... Anyway, enjoyed the video, man. Love that PRS's color (I was FINALLY able to buy a PRS/my dream guitar (SE Custom) about a month ago. It only took me 12 years after I saw one for the first time when I was 11, ha.). Jam on!

  • @JoeyJoJoshabado
    @JoeyJoJoshabado 7 років тому +4

    Does anybody think that this would be one of the best affordable synths if it was able to do beats longer than just a maximum of 4 measures? It's my only issue with the JD-XI.
    Awesome tutorial, and thanks I never knew it could do this.

    • @BoxtapeRocksYou
      @BoxtapeRocksYou  7 років тому +2

      (Thanks!) - Humm, you can have different patterns and move between them to get longer sequences, or if there aren't quick runs, drop the tempo right down to double the length. But if you wanted to hit play and have it run through a whole load of stuff live unattended, that would be its blind spot.

    • @timothyclay3668
      @timothyclay3668 6 років тому +1

      Guess you could connect an iPad or iPhone to it and have an iOS daw play midi drum patterns into it? I know garageband does not have midi out but cubasis or similar would give you unlimited bar drum patterns.

      Yes it's built in .. it works quite well though if you wanted to use it for something super important (gigging) I'd suggest giving it a demo first! ::)

  • @John_Riff

    These are just audio effects right? You cannot send the audio of the guitar as midi into your computer, can you? If not, it is still amazing what it can do.

  • @Cookie-kf3xn

    Could I plug a guitar effect pedal right into the input? If so what exact wires would I need?

    • @jonmy7
      @jonmy7 4 роки тому +1

      Yes, just a normal mono guitar cable. Keep in mind that the JD-xi works best with a clean guitar signal and playing single notes. So using an effect rich guitar signal may make it difficult of the JD-xi to determine the guitar note and so what you hear played might not sound great.

    Hi, cool video. I have a problem with the jd-xi, when I play with beats, my guitar sounds acting very strange, cut out, feels like it try to correct it somehow. Do you know is there any autocorrection function on off or how can i get rid off it. Like I cant do pull on/ pull offs like you do here, because it refuce to play the notes. Thanks in advance :)

    como resuelve la latencia?

    • @BoxtapeRocksYou
      @BoxtapeRocksYou  7 років тому

      (Via Google translate..:)) La latencia es mucho mejor en las octavas más altas. Sugeriría jugar arriba y cambiar la octava hacia abajo 1 o 2 en el sintetizador!

      (Via Google Translate!!) Desculpe, eu não falo português ... mas os cabos não funcionam. As notas mais altas são muito melhores do que as mais baixas. É bom para o efeito, mas talvez não para performances ao vivo perfeitas!

    • @BoxtapeRocksYou
      @BoxtapeRocksYou  7 років тому

      Nah unfortunately not, no polyphony at all. You'd need one of those fancy hexaphonic pickups, plus hardware, with a MIDI output to do that (i.e. GK-3). I'd love to demo one one day and have it work well, but even demo setups in guitar shops just seem to track poorly :'(

    • @MilkoOfficialChannel

      Just curious, never been a fan of midi guitars but I'm getting the JD Xi on Monday and I've got my guitar abandoned and far now because of having a huge amp and cabinet (just moving all the time lately) :'( so I was just letting it slip in my head. thnx!
