Watched this demo many times, finally can afford JD-XA and it arrives & few presets great but when I looked up this video again for inspiration and saw that I could download your sound bank for free! Man, man, man .... the very best synth demo ever in terms of demonstrating what it can do for sound design & playing (without any trickery). I think I read somewhere that you designed some patches for the new Fantom for Roland, that's so encouraging to hear. I've been rocking the MC-909 so hard last few years I was going to sell the banks I toiled over years to craft but you inspire me to give away since there could have been no better experience than what u gave me & others starting off their JD XA adventures.
Simply mind blowing - I had no idea the JD-XA could even approach all that. Just goes to show in the right hands...just brilliant work. Thank you for sharing!!
This is a testament to what a chameleon the JD-XA is, and such a magnificent instrument. And how well it works in the hands of a true virtuoso. Fantastic performances! Thanks for sharing.
Shows what a brilliant programmer like you can do! Bravo. Really great to see the old classics like Oxygene 2 and On the Run for your old fans who have been with your channel since the very early days...
Gattobus, you have successfully shown us a sample of the huge range and depth of this machine. Well done indeed. How could one not be impressed with the quality of these sounds? The authentic representations of so many classic synths shows how vast this machine is, while showcasing your own considerable talents.
I was listening to this with UA-cam on autoplay when this video came on, I couldn't see what synth it was. As far as I could tell, it was a very good analog synth. I really don't understand analog snobbery these days. This is a skillful demo, and the synth sounds great.
I had this one but sold it because I could not read the labels...my old eyes were not up to it and I did not want to spend 200 dollars on the readable template offered by 3rd party. But Gattobus proves again, it is not the synth so much as the player. 99% of JDXA owners could not do one of his demo's I would venture. Gattobus understands the technologh thoroughly and is a real musician as well. Been a long time fan. Just great.
I've heard from other reviews that they've updated the labeling to a more bright-red-orange hue to improve readability. There's also very nice overlays that can put any color or contrast combination you want for around 130 dollars.
Very cool!!! I could see this sitting next to my Motif XF8 and Montage 8. I think with this, along with my VST's and the Yamaha boards would give me an endless supply of sounds :) I gotta' say, your vids are head and shoulders above the others I've been viewing! Simply great playing and demo. Thanks and best to you.
BRAVO.....BRAVO.....BRAVO......BRAVO.......OMG!!!! I can't stop listening to this. You're truly amazing not only in talent but also in choosing the best iconic songs for your excellent cover........ONCE AGAIN BRAVO!!!!!! If only I had your talent to do what you did live for my family and friends.....IF ONLY!!!!
great stuff, your rendition of Midnight Express theme solo is incredible and so is Around The World. I keep coming back to hear them again and again. Thank for the eargasm!
You are an amazing programmer and the sounds are unbelievable. I haven't owned a synth since my Roland JX-3P in the 80's, but your demo has convinced me of how far synthesis has come since then. I will be ordering a JD-XA very soon. Thanks! I've also downloaded your files of these sounds in anticipation of the day it arrives.
Grazie per avere messo a disposizione le patch delle tue cover! Dopo i primi anni di entusiasmo ho rinunciato a diventare un tastierista anche amatoriale e avere a disposizione suoni per le cover per me è una manna!
BRAVO...BRAVISSIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!i have the jd-xa too....i have no idea this beautiful synth do this lovely sounds...until this moment...uuuaauuuuu....now i see i have to practice and stay more time with my baby!thanks to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not really a huge fan of modern Roland synths, but I have to say that you did a great job showing this off and Roland will definitely sell more of these thanks to this video. :)
Great to see you Gianni. Great demo. You seem to be very acquainted with it. Adding in your playing abilities. It's a gem. Loved the Moroder cover. I see your using those crazy Jedi skills again. GRIN!!
VERY nice! Brilliant job in terms of playing / programming, and the instrument sounds great too. Warm, full and not as harsh as most "analog" VIs I have heard.
Well I guess Roland should fire the guys that demo'd the JD XA at launch time, because when it came out I was hardly impressed. I hope next time they bring out an analog/digital hybrid they call Gattobus...
it's really hard to know what synths have in their guts with all these really bad demoes made by twidlers and noodlers. that being said, what a time to be alive!
I wholeheartedly agree. I have 14 Roland synthesizers & modules in my studio (TB-303, Jupiter 8, JV-80, A-80, &c), & because of this particular video, now a new JD-XA.
Amazing job and amazing machine I love more vintage Roland synths even when I own a Roland Fantom 6 but I think that this machine can match perfectly with that one
Holy crap i did not expect to see Enya of all things in this video. Great job!
The JARRE-piece is blowing me out of my chair!!!
I love 80`s patches! The sounds of that time was so pure.Thank you for this!!
Thanks Roland team ; )

Oxygene sounds absolutely amazing!
Its so good to see/hear someone actually doing covers...wich is what 80%+ is what keys like this are used for in the real world.
Clavier avec arpegiateur et vocodeur ,effets spéciaux .
Magnifique. Merci pour la prestation.
Absolutely brilliant, thanks Gattobus! 3:16 is the reason I purchased the JD-XA, Roland needs to hire you!
amazing work - roland should be very grateful to have this sitting on youtube for any potential purchasers to see.
Shows what a brilliant programmer like you can do! Bravo.

Really, really well done. Great choice of songs, phenomenal execution on sounds, and strong performance.
damn that Jarre sounds awesome!
Agreed‼️
That was the best concert I’ve seen in a long time!!! Encore!!! 🎶✨✨👑
This synth sounds like everything that I love about synth.
Excellent variety here. The variety of genres covered here demonstrates the versatility.
That Jean Michel Jarre piece is great, how you push the bend wheel and the sound comes out like that , amazing... GATTOBUS you're the best.
When Oxygen arrived I was just in ecstasy. A lot of work with that patches to sound so incredible.
JD-XA: All to remake 70's to 90's sounds and songs. Very good demo works. Congratulations.
You nailed that Oxygene-part, awesome work!
Fantastic job! I especially loved the JMJ performance. Keep it up.
THANK YOU! I am sitting here at almost 2am breathing new live into my JD-XA! What an amazing synth and what an amazing guy figuring it out :)
I've been playing this for six months and you just crushed my self esteem 😝 great stuff! Thanks!
I keep coming back just to listen to your rendition of Morodor's Chase and that amazing outro. I wish you could make it a stand-alone track. So cool.
True that, keep coming back once in a while this version of "chase" might be the best new version of it
You are simply brilliant, Oh I wish I had your talent. You are amazing to watch you make it look so simple, please never stop sharing thank you
You do Jean Michel proud. Now I'm sold on the Roland JD-XA.
Good god!! Enrico Flow and Oxygen II absolutley stunning!! 🤩

Are you proof the "oldies but goldies" Dymo labels??
@@mgabrysSF печально, но может быть очки лучше хорошие купить?
@David Chatterton They don't do them any more
@@88SPIKE I bought this synth 4 months ago and they package the overlay with the synth.
amazing stuff !! great covers
On your channel too. You're a great keyboard player Albert
Sei un mito. Ho appena preso un JD-XA da un amico di Pescara, l'ho preferito al Juno-x. Non vedo l'ora che arrivi.
Very cool!!!

Wow! This was a wild ride! And you performed each segment so very well, I am duly impressed and jealous of your phenomenal expertise! Bravo!
Really nice job on the Pink Floyd!
TY very much,Catpullman😀Your interpretations are really very nice👌👍😉
Chase!!!!! one of the best ever! outstanding job......The Roland JD is a wonderful instrument!
great stuff, your rendition of Midnight Express theme solo is incredible and so is Around The World. I keep coming back to hear them again and again. Thank for the eargasm!
Stumbled upon this vid while researching the Roland JD-XA. Awesome job programming to find those memorable sounds!
Impressive. Must be a joy if you can play around with these pieces of equipment the way you do!
Hi Gattobus, I bought a new JDXA today, just downloaded your sounds, thank you for being so generous with them. They sound great.
You are an amazing programmer and the sounds are unbelievable. I haven't owned a synth since my Roland JX-3P in the 80's, but your demo has convinced me of how far synthesis has come since then. I will be ordering a JD-XA very soon. Thanks! I've also downloaded your files of these sounds in anticipation of the day it arrives.
Love the mix of little 90's style buttons and hands-on sliders option on this machine!
DAYUM!! That Oxygene II and On the Run. Good stuff
Beautiful patches. Thank you for creating them and uploading them.They have gone straight into my JD-XA.
Grazie per avere messo a disposizione le patch delle tue cover! Dopo i primi anni di entusiasmo ho rinunciato a diventare un tastierista anche amatoriale e avere a disposizione suoni per le cover per me è una manna!
Amazing old school high quality sound! Thank you!
Ahh... The 80s 🤗... How I miss you
JMJ cover is just flawless - well done ..
Oxygen II sounds just amazing.
Bravo! Absolutely love most of these! Master!
Outstanding !.. I gotta get me one of these - Amazing keyboard skills ...especially 'Oxygen.' !
The best Roland JD-XA demo I've ever seen. Roland should have paid You for this outstanding job ;)
At times when I think the real music generation is dead... this is awesome!!
Finally, a GREAT demo of this thing. Nice programming dude, well done.
+midiwall the best video of jd-xa i ever see, for sure!!!
BRAVO...BRAVISSIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!i have the jd-xa too....i have no idea this beautiful synth do this lovely sounds...until this moment...uuuaauuuuu....now i see i have to practice and stay more time with my baby!thanks to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic playing - great choice of tunes!
OMFG!!! On The Run!!! my sweet lord.... fantastic!
I have the JDXI and I love that sucker. Every day I learn new things. Sounds great for the price.
Outstanding! You've just about mastered this thing. More!
Holy crap. This blew me away. This is awesome
excellent sound! never heard from roland quality like this! thank you gattobus!
really amazing synth, very impressive performance
Great synthesizer and great player...
Beginner here, learning about synths before buying one.
That is so cool you just press a button and all the presets are already saved!!
Totally awesome sounding and impressed by this synth capabilities. Great video my friend ;)
Oxygene especially is amazing ! 😎👍
I'm buying a JD-XA after that demo fantastic keyboard.
Really great!
That's really a fantastic job! Oxygene is superb!
I’m not really a huge fan of modern Roland synths, but I have to say that you did a great job showing this off and Roland will definitely sell more of these thanks to this video. :)
Brilliant! Enjoyed this thanks. Been on the JDXi for a year now and imagining they would be very happy together ☺️
That was fabulous... thank you. Heading straight for part 2 to check that out now.
That Jean Michel Jarre was ON POINT! Bravo.
good selection!!!
Great to see you Gianni. Great demo. You seem to be very acquainted with it. Adding in your playing abilities. It's a gem. Loved the Moroder cover. I see your using those crazy Jedi skills again. GRIN!!
MEGA DEMO. Nice songs and well play... THX
insanely good as always i would like to see one or two of them expanded to the full song.
incredible .... famous, and really great ... excellente done. Thank you very much.
such a joy to listen to you perform - nicely put together and great selection of songs! congrats my friend :)
“Sweet Dreams” that D instead of a C is giving me nightmares!!
Actually, C is also pretty bad. I'd prefer Cm
Haha...thought the same.
@@sanchezgotsumkids yeah funny thing it was just that last note at the end
Sweet Creams?
@@GeekGearSynths omg were getting Way tooo into it now lol🤣🤪🤣
Good demo, many thanks to you for the download!
VERY nice! Brilliant job in terms of playing / programming, and the instrument sounds great too. Warm, full and not as harsh as most "analog" VIs I have heard.
So many memories.....
Such an amazing machine.
Again an exceptionel video from you, congrats....wonderful work !
Well done 🎹🎹
WOW! Nicely done on Jarre and Moroder!
Oxygen - sublime rendition of it, especially the lead
Roland is going to loooooooove this vid. Super playing.
thanks a million for giving me even more inspiration with this synth, and in spite of the criticism, I think it's a very interesting synth afaic
Well I guess Roland should fire the guys that demo'd the JD XA at launch time, because when it came out I was hardly impressed. I hope next time they bring out an analog/digital hybrid they call Gattobus...
it's really hard to know what synths have in their guts with all these really bad demoes made by twidlers and noodlers. that being said, what a time to be alive!
So true, this synths very underwhelming
Second that, man -- you made that shine like crazy diamonds!
I wholeheartedly agree. I have 14 Roland synthesizers & modules in my studio (TB-303, Jupiter 8, JV-80, A-80, &c), & because of this particular video, now a new JD-XA.
36TRecords , the JDXa can now be found new in the UK for £959, will be ordering one monday
very great sounds, roland synth jd xa is very beautiful,ciao
Phenomenal, super, wau......Thank you. Best cover
Fantastic demo! Thank you for this!
Amazing job and amazing machine I love more vintage Roland synths even when I own a Roland Fantom 6 but I think that this machine can match perfectly with that one
Daaaaam this is badass!!! kudos
Superb man! Many thanks for sharing this.
really knocked this out the park
