The Roland JD-Xi is one of my peersonal favorites of all the synths I've demonstarted over several years of the channel. Here are some re-uploads of performances that I took down due to copyright strikes on the original visuals. I'll also share with you some behind the scenes on the demo, plus updated review!

Re-listening to this over and over, please make an extended version of that first track on here, its sublime!, headphones on, running it through a graphic equaliser, it sounds incredible, and I am lost in those layered synths and melodies, when it stops, I so much want it to kick back in and build up so beautifully over, and over again, thanks again, really great, very surprised not more view for this....

Not sure the exact reason, but listening to your music always puts me in a good mood, Woody. I mostly just watch your gear reviews and tips n tricks videos, and it’s different from the styles I’d usually listen to, but your specific sense of melody and rhythm is just real comforting somehow.

I bought one only 3 days ago - it is a truly superb synth!!

Love my Jd-xi. Will never get rid of it. Yes the analogue section is a gimic. I have a Behringer Wasp Deluxe and Donner B1 for bass so no problem.

You can create longer sequences by adding programs to favourites and then switching between them in real time.. you can save 256 favourites (16 banks 16 programs each) 🙂

Happy new year! Nice to hear these tracks again. The JD-XI sounds great.

this is beast; I even built in the xiaomi powerbank with DCDC module to provide power; not had much time to play, but will probably return to more fun, in this damaged world;

I love my JD-Xi, but my younger son is very active as a musician/composer so I had no problem letting him take it over - it is used so much more than me fiddling around a few times a month! Such great sounds, glad the video is revisited!

Awesome Woody! The JD-Xi is just an amazing little synth. It delivers so big sounds 🙂

FYI, these are out there now in excellent used condition for around US $350-$450. That's a great price point for this excellent little synth!

Wow! The ambient track was one of the most beautiful synth songs I’ve heard. My body just relaxed.

Can’t imagine selling my JD-Xi, even contemplate a second for more tracks. Finding Roland’s Zenbeats Max FUN, especially on iPad slipped into a Focusrite iTrack Dock. Now if Roland would just release a purpose built Hardware MIDI unit for Zenbeats thats sub $200 I’d be thrilled. Definitely prefer using on iPad over Computer. Now a Combo iPad Dock complete with Audio Interface AND knobs, Faders, TR-REC buttons for sequencer etc for Zenbeats would be WONDERFUL…..till Apple change connector AGAIN! :)

Thinking about it, I think it was your JD-Xi videos that first "alerted" me to your channel, and were why I subscribed. I'm glad you are doing this retrospective! Thanks.
