Had it for over two months now and it is more amazing than I imagined. There are FOUR analog voices (each made up of two oscillators), and then you can just keep stacking up digital voices (12 total) on top of those! It is the last synth anyone ever needs, sans a board that has presets like "piano" or "organ", although there are some in it that come close. This is 100% synth - Perfect if you like creating sounds. The editing functions are quite in-depth.
Thank you, IA, for this beautiful demonstration of your playing and the JD-XA's capabilities. There's some wonderful artistry here on both sides of the keyboard!
Many thanks @VivienLalu this is lovely feedback. It is a great sound collection you created. I would love to demonstrate more of your sound sets in the future.
You won't regret it! These types of sounds are also what brought me into the synth world and led to me buying the little brother of this one (the JD-Xi). Synths are more than just instruments, like IA said, they sort of become a lifestyle.
Amazing sounds I absolutely love my jdxa , it’s so rich sounding I had a virus ti2 but found the look of it very uninspiring .the jdxa looks great best synth yet
Yeah,I've been thinking torn between this and the System 8. I 'm really leaning towards this synth. I have the JDX-i,and I love it! This would be a good stable mate!
Same, trying to make that exact choice right now while I have a JD-Xi. I'd like the JD-XA because I am already familiar with the menu-diving and it's the full version of what I already own, but the System 8 does some things better and for $500 less currently retail.
Celestial Spheres is the best sound set so far for this synth. It really makes it a convincing purchase. Not sure if its your thing, or if you have a time but a demo of how to create custom patches on the JD-XA would be nice to see.
They're a great machine, even compared to the most recent synths from Roland, Waldorf etc. Only issue (for people looking to purchase them used) is they appear to be holding their value well.
RANDY JUDAH TORREZ ❤️ < Pretty cool 2 word's come to mind when ever I see the ROLAND JD XA *NICK RHODES* he udalises 4 in concert and uses them in studio he is a big fan of this particular Synthesizer 💯 I am going to probably perches one to work together with my ROLAND FANTOM 7 🎹
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.

Many thanks Bob, appreciate that!
I love what you have done with my sound collection. Thank you so much for this! Couldn’t dream of a better use...

This is the main reason I had for getting myself this synth; The Sounds are amazing for the price! I rarely use the onboard sequencer lol.
Excellent, a ear full, I'll finish listening when i get back.
Very nice demo for JD-XA, an underrated synth for sure!
Sound at 4:30 gave me chills
I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS SOUNDSET.....THE MUSIC OF THE
i LOVE this. This atmospheric, cosmic type of music is my jam. Will have to get a synth sometime.
Many thanks. Yes buying a good synth is awesome, I’d go as far as saying it becomes a lifestyle.

This is so beautiful. I got the system 8 but may need to get this lol
das da spirit, man ;)
I bought the jdxa after having the system 8
Amazing sounds I absolutely love my jdxa , it’s so rich sounding I had a virus ti2 but found the look of it very uninspiring .the jdxa looks great best synth yet
Love my JD. But those damn red lights/text on gloss black. Ugh.

Hi, yes that is doable for sure. Thanks for the suggestion that is a good idea for future content.
Just bought a jdxa , arrived Tuesday... I hate when shipping just misses the Friday delivery haha. This sound set sounds fantastic.
Now I want one of these. My wallet may hate you, but I thank you. Great video, cheers!

"Hai appena sentito l'ultima di Fibra e/oppure era finito il tempo del trial?! What a Prophet refurbished remake..."
Very dreaming presets sounds
Nice patches by the way
SPHERES !
Sounds bit thin but im sure it can go in dark obscure beef up sub basses places if you want it to that many few synths ever will.
Damn! I want one of these in the worst way.
Great patches
Can these Axial banks all be put on a USB? or do they need to be loaded through Librarian?
They can be put onto a USB and then straight into the JD-XA
Did you use and external reverb (pedals)?
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.
Any updates on the horizon for this synth
As far as I am aware there are no upcoming updates from Roland, though there are new Axial sound sets on the way from various sound designers.
