Yes get some poly rhythms in it and it sounds great at those longer evolving soundscapes.

Thank you for saying so.

Great, it is a lovely synth, The actual synth engine is great, I personally don't use the keyboard, it is used as a module.

Right! Great add bro!

your most welcome Amber glad it helped.

hammys70 you installing a lipo battery maybe?

3 years... And?

@@stanislawmocul Never got round to making a video but have an internal power bank. Works OK apart from glitching on the analog circuit which is apparently due to slight voltage differences.

Your most welcome, glad it helped, pleaseask your friends to subscribe to assist the channel.

Instead of using the knob to increase the tempo, you can change it inside of the menu, so you can control how fast it changed without it jumping too fast

It works for all of the parts. For example, 4 bars at 50bpm is the same as 8 bars at 100bpm

I'm Mike

thank you!

your welcome glad it helped

I thought it can't run on batteries because its analog? it will chew through batteries like nobodies business.

It does NOT run on batteries.

yes very good point, the menu dive can do it too down to 5 and I always encourage people to do this so they engage with their synth. its a great tip and I may even do a very short quick tip video on that, if you've no objections.

download the jdxi (0.28) manager application

TheTeekayes you can do 3/4 (6/8) but from what I know you can’t do any “weird” (non generic) time signatures. Roland for some reason sees this as an edm and beat making machine, and many of the presets can back this statement up. Although I love my jdxi, after about a year of owning it, you learn just about everything it is capable of doing, forcing you look into buying other keyboards. Some of the presets are great and really help with making new ideas, but 80% of them are either cheap sounding or just unusable.

thanks for saying so and taking time to say it.

I have another jdxi question so I am getting around to answering as I cant recall off the top of my head.

People do it I guess they dont realise the work involved to create a video but I dont let it bother me anymore. Thanks for passing by.

For Synth's Sake sometimes it’s not necessarily about you and your video. Some people see that “0” on the thumbs down and it piques their attention. They go “ooh I want to be the only one!” Then that 0 turns to a 1 and, next thing you know, that grabs some other guy’s attention. “why does he get to be special?? I want to be special too!!!”

For Synth's Sake in other words, they’re just special snowflakes who feel the desperate need to be “different” and “individual” regardless of whether it ends up making them look like shit socks

In my Country we say " the mother of the fools is always pregnant". You know what I mean, I suppose...

Yes in the menu there are scale settings you have three choices 12th note triplets 16th notes(most common) and 32nd notes. if you make a selection here you will see the grid length change accordingly. you can get a feel for that with the markings the white lines above the step buttons. so yes 4/4 is the default with 3/4 being set by choosing the triplets. watch the sequencer when you change the settings and you will see this physically implemented.

For Synth's Sake and when it say 16 on the scale setting or 16th notes (4/4 time), that meana each note is a semiquaver? y?

yes you can see the semi quaver in red against the 4/4 grid

For Synth's Sake ah cool, and what is 32nd notes, would that be 2/4?

yes and the grid will double

It could be a combination of many factors and what you describe could be it running out of memory internally. Clearly what might work for some might not for others. its unfortunate in your case Colin it didnt work out..ive noticed similar things on the FA-06.

there is a quantization problem using this method in real time record, the jdxi gets confused with it only having 4 measures built in to it..as I said it's great for adding longer drum sequence programmes but is very limited using other styles of sequencing...you do a great job on here with your tutorials tho so thanks for taking time out putting your video tutorials on here.

@@Colinsdroneadventures1968 I totally agree. After the honey moon phase with the JD XI I went on a mission to lengthen the patterns. When you get to 8 bars and save the track, the issues begin. It plays when and if it wants to, and the volume is muted. I'd turn it on and off and go to a track that does not use the above time stretching method...no problem. It plays fine. Although the JD XI is a jack of all traits, it's simply cannot do more than 4 measures without getting glitchy. I returned mine today (last day for return period).

I think you can, I saw Ed Diaz doing it or something like that, just look for “Roland JD-Xi Pattern Sequencer Ed Diaz” idk exactly, it may not be this title, but I remember watching his video and when he added more measures (1 to 4) he copied the “divisions” of the first to the other 3

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMuKaLGH3c_Ze3k.html I think that’s the video

yes

Also having a bit of trouble getting my head round how to do this....can you do a video on this Peter please?

Just hit the snare drum sound and then apply the delay. Make sure that the other drum hits FX aren't also turned on

Literally playing it at 1.5x speed and it is still too slow

@Брадесканх Thankyou for letting me know! I still have not been able to buy one of these keyboards yet so I am not able to enjoy such features yet. But I will! I know my old Yamaha PSS 480 keyboard allows you 256 steps or notes before the memory is full for that song. I would play 3 tracks usually looping them by stopping my recording and playing right on time. Its tricky and you have to sometimes do the track over if you accidentally play the last note too long like you say and the loop is all wrong, no cut off on that keyboard. It will play that long note and throw the loop off timing. So what you speak of on the JD is auto-quantize of note release. It is fun to play with this stuff though.

I got the new version of memory slice editor yesterday I will try find some time to connect the jdxi up. It reminded me of your post.

math the scurge of my life!
