    Headphones recommended.
    Recorded straight to audio interface. No audio processing.
    I played some of my classic covers and also new ones.
    I hope you enjoy!

    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.

    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 TH-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.

  • @Sam_Utah
    @Sam_Utah 8 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    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.

    • @mgabrysSF
      @mgabrysSF 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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.
