49-key Synthesizer with Aftertouch, Analog and Digital Synth Engines, Analog Filters, Digital Effects, 16-track Sequencer, Vocoder, USB Interface, and CV/Gate Outs

The JD-XA is a crossover synth that brings together analog warmth and digital versatility in one super-creative, no-compromise instrument. First, there's a four-part, all-analog monster with true analog filters and a direct dry output. Next up is a four-part digital engine powered by Roland's SuperNATURAL synth technology, plus an impressive selection of potent effects. The JD-XA's engines can be used independently or interactively, providing an incredibly flexible platform for sound design, studio work, and live performance. Use the analog and digital parts side by side, stack them up for total sonic devastation, or shape digital waveforms via the analog filters to create sounds never heard before. With the JD-XA, you can forget about analog or digitaljust close your eyes, imagine how the future sounds, and start creating music.

Features:

• Advanced synthesizer with independent analog and digital sound engines
• Discrete analog synth engine (four parts) with 2 x OSC, Filter, Amp, 4 x Env (2 x Pitch, Filter, Amp), and 2 x LFO per voice plus Analog Dry Out for raw signal output
• Analog filter section features 4-Pole, transistor-ladder, and multi-mode (LPF/HPF/BPF) filters with supremely smooth, natural response to knob movements
• OSC section includes Cross Mod, Ring Mod, and OSC Sync, all of which can be used simultaneously
• LFO rate covers a wide range from ultra-slow to ultra-fast
• Fast attack envelope time
• Separate digital section built around SuperNATURAL synth engine (four parts, 64 voices) thats compatible with INTEGRA-• 7 sound libraries from Roland's online Axial sound portal
• Digital parts can be routed through the analog filter section for warm, organic results
• Comprehensive effects with MFX for all parts plus five system effects (Reverb, TFX1, TFX2, Delay, and Master EQ)
• Flexible routing options for highly creative sound design
• Intuitive 16-track pattern sequencer (8 tracks for internal parts, 8 tracks for external parts) for fast creation of songs and loops
• Onboard USB, MIDI, and CV/GATE interfaces plus flexible MIDI control functionality make the JD-XA the ideal centerpiece for live performance and music production
• Mic input allows you to modulate synth sounds with your voice and explore classic Vocoder functionality

Roland has done it again. This thing looks and sounds incredible. It's good enough for Nick Rhodes so it's good enough for me, right? Features: 4.5/5 I took off half a point because oddly the sequencer on this beast isn't as versatile as the one on the little brother (JD-Xi). Also missing is the drum machine of the JD-Xi. Bizarre design choice but I'm assuming Roland intended one to be paired with the other. That's not to say the sequencer on this is useless - it's easy to use and still incredibly handy for recording. Otherwise, all the tools for impressive patch creation are accessible at your fingertips. The built in effects are incredible and the blend of analog and digital voices allows for incredibly versatility. If you're more the "plug and play" type then the built in patches will offer hours of fun as well as the bonus packs that are free on the Roland/Axial website. I strongly recommend taking the time to learn this thing though. It's worth it. Quality: 5/5 It's a Roland product. Enough said! My years of buying Boss pedals for guitar playing have been enough to prove the durability of their products. Value: 5/5 With the ever rising prices of the classic analog synths, I feel like this is incredible value for the price. I can create Jupiter-like tones with ease and at a fraction of the cost (especially as I was fortunate enough to purchase a used JD-XA through L&M). Overall: 5/5 I'm very pleased with the purchase. This is my first high-end synthesizer and I feel like I made the right choice. (One minor note - the red backlight can make the text hard to read despite how cool it looks, but luckily there are replacement panels available with white text. I recommend the upgrade!)

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
