Just got mine today! This thing's super fun to play with. Btw, just discovered your music yesterday, I love it! Do you have a link for your gear list? Thanks!
The best video!!! Answered so many questions after playing with the JDXi only a few times. I LOVE this synth, especially for drum patterns and live recording. Can't wait to have fun with arpeggios!
I cannot PERMANENTLY erase the programmed sequence in bank E01. I thought from what you were saying I could??? I understand A-D banks can only be temporarily erased, but for me, E01's programmed sequence returns when I power my JD-Xi on again. What am I missing?
Hi Ed! Buddy, may I use Live Recording with metronome click but hearing that only on Phones Output? I tried to find this on settings, but I didn't find. Could I edit where the click goes out? Because it looks bad when I start to record a live
any tips on MIDI settings going from the JDXI to the BOSS-202 ?..im using a Roland A-49 for my JDXI MIDI in...so i have to go MIDI out to the 202....i see some people saying to set MIDI so no PROGRAM or CC or MIDI notes are sent or else it can glitch, some said just use the midi clock?...and not sure about TEMPO sync or LOOP sync?...any tips from anyone?..im suprised i havent seen any videos of people using those 2 gear pieces in conjunction, as slave and master giving setup tips.
Thanks for this video. Why the jd-xi starts up with one measure and Bank A program 001. I like to start with an empty bank and four measures. Can we expect an update to change this? It would be nice if you can start with the setting you need instead of errasing pattern A and change the settings into four measures. It's not locigal to change it every time at starting up. Hope to hear an answer.
Thank you and DJ for your tutorials! You both are awesome and easy to follow. I do have one question, if I want to record a song that has sustained notes like I wanted Jingle Bells to play in the background while I play over the top. I can't figure it out, it seems the notes are abrupt and I can't record different notes for different lengths of time.... Am I missing something. Thank you for ANY HELP
You can live record playing jingle bells and then play over it while its playing back but will have to use the same sound. Sustained notes can be done with the step recorder by hitting the first note and then press KEY HOLD to sustain it for the next steps.
Is it possible to side chain for example a pad sound but make a kick inaudible? I can’t figure how to turn down kick volume, when mute all drums side chain effect not working. I’m not interested in kick to be audible!!
Hello, I have the Roland JD-Xi Analogue-Digital synth. I am currently trying to use it with an Alesis MMT-8 Midi Sequencer. The MMT-8 sequencer has a "song" mode (a built in pattern sequencer). However, when progressing from one Step to the next, its not activating for the tracks that I have drum sounds on from the JD-Xi, but only the tracks that I have programmed the 'synth' sounds on. I am wondering if this is because I used the Roland JD-Xi's pattern sequencer when creating the drum beat, instead of physically 'keying' the drums in like I did with the synth parts? (I did it like that to get the timing exact). Could you please provide any help/insight on this if possible? Thanks much.
Hello all... the sequencer kicks in and plays automatically when I send tempo data from my RC300 looper to the JDXI - does anybody know how to prevent this?
I love this man! Thank you so much ROLAND for letting HIM to explain us how to use JDXI! With love from Russia!
Just bought one & was worried that I wouldn't be able to figure it out but you definitely helped me out. Thank you! D.N.D one love
Great video. I just bought my JD-Xi (my first step into the synth world) and you showed me how to have fun right out of the box.
first minute of the video explained exactly what i needed to do. Love these straight forward "here's how you do it" videos. Keep up the great work!
The JDXI is the best value for the money. Its a great synth/sequencer. yeah its limited in areas, but the price point is just about unbeatable.
Just got mine today! This thing's super fun to play with. Btw, just discovered your music yesterday, I love it! Do you have a link for your gear list? Thanks!
I just saw this synth for the first time at the store. Right away im making patterns. Knew this was the synth for me!!
I just bought my JD-Xi, first synth and this is very helpfull, thanx
So helpful to watch someone show you rather than reading the manual. Great little synth!
Thank you so much for this video. I was really struggling with twisting the knobs but the elbows up tip really helped a ton. Cheers

This keyboard is the cornerstone of my music for CASTING THE CIRCLE :)

Thank you for sharing these tips. I have watched others, but you make this much more clearer.
brilliant tutorial as always Ed 🙌👍🎶
Genial, buenos videos para aprender a utilizar el Roland JD-Xi 😲👍🏼👍🏼
hahaha thanks, this is way better then going through and erasing everything step by step
"Elbows up!" Haha! Awesome
I was dying
Extremely useful tutorial
Elbows and thumbs up for you !
Make a video on changing the patterns please.
Just bought one. Is it possible to use the live record mode without the JD Xi quantizing my performance?
Interested
big thank you! you really are a huge help
GOAT! 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Thanks ED but you forgot to mention that you can also record the filter edits.
How ?
@@jbohacprace When recording, any changes to the filter knobs is also recorded.
@Richard Longford Hmmm, not sure about pitch bend but filter LFOs yes. (I don't have mine anymore to test)
I like this guy

After erasing, you have to save the program. Did you do that?
Thanks for the video ! is there anyway to control the volume of of the pattern sequencer ?

hey man dig through system settings, you can actually choose any program as your default starting point
thank you very helpful
Thanks a lot!

Thanks !
Once a program has been saved can it be editing and re saved or does it all need ti be done with all 4 voices in 1 sitting?
It can be saved at any time then worked on some more and saved over the same slot or a new one. Press SHIFT + MENU to save

Nevermind, I figured it out (after much trial and error)!
How do I save a preset tone from a preset pattern into a pattern I've created and saved?
Great video, trying to figure out how to auto arpeggiate with this thing, is that even possible?
How many tracks are there?
Very brainy to erase pattern. Was it hard an empty pattern from the beginning ?
Hello all... the sequencer kicks in and plays automatically when I send tempo data from my RC300 looper to the JDXI - does anybody know how to prevent this?
love my jdxi the only problem i cant get it to ork correctly with ableton:(
If this dude's fingers can play mini-keys, then so can you.
Uh, my tone buttons are controlling the patterns and I cant get it to stop. Help
can you play piano sounds on this?
Yes, but the acoustic piano sounds are pretty shitty and playing them on mini keys doesn't make them any better. The electric pianos are good though.
no 5/4 possible?
It is not. Only 4/4.
How do you delete individual sounds from a pattern? For example, a hi hat on one button instead of the whole pattern
Just select the sound by pressing the key for it and unselect the lit pattern lights
Elbows up 😂
You can't say elbows up without saying side to side
the problem is that if i hear that demo track one more time i'm gonna hang myself... it kills my mood so bad and swallows my ideas.
Its not recording my realtime recording its only recording 1 trak
This is like the YAMAHA DJX more of a toy then a pro synth .
you wearing make up bro?
