Roland JD-XA Synthesizer

JD-XA Synthesizer. The JD-XA is a unique crossover synth that brings together analog warmth and digital versatility in one super-creative, no-compromise instrument. First, thereTMs 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 RolandTMs SuperNATURAL synth technology, plus an impressive selection of potent effects. The JD-XATMs engines can be used independently or interactively, providing an incredibly flexible platform for sound design, studio work, and live performance.
