So I've had mine a few months now, and it's definitely my favorite. I got a JD-XA I like this so much. I might go as far as saying this X1 has become my favorite synth, and I have a lot of them...but this is the one ALWAYS play (even if for a few moments) when I'm in my studio. I LOVE it. This (and the XA) are the only two synths I own where I can make a true Dubstep beat soup to nuts (I don't use a DAW) so it's great not having to transfer everything over to a work station and then sequence it etc. On a side note I got the Microkorg over this as most people recommended it over the JD-X1. Listen, I love my Microkorg it's a lot of fun, blah blah blah. But it cannot even be compared to this. It ETHERS that the Microkorg in every single category. Not even a close. So if any of you don't like using DAWs., start with this, or the Yamaha MX. Trust me. I'm getting that FA next.

Just bought this, and as a guitarist, I was a bit lost to say the least. Watched a few YT tutorials, and they all left out certain steps - Luckily, I found yours', and it's just what I needed! I can now get started, and learn more as I go. Cheers.

@ghoststalkermusic 5 жыл бұрын

That's awesome! I'm a guitar player as well and been trying to combine guitar parts with the JD Xi. My next piece of gear I'm thinking about getting is the Ditto x4 looper because you can send a MIDI sync to it, so when you loop a guitar part it lines up with your JD Xi loops. Traditional loopers without midi sync get off time by a millisecond. I did some experimenting on this video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qK91ebydu6jefIk.html

Holy shit this is the for "dummies" intro I needed. Helped me learn how to properly sequence drums. The sequence/looping parts was great too. I use pro tools so I'll probably compose and write to a sequenced beat and dub the other parts, throw guitar and voice in when needed. I've watched loads of videos and read the shitty manual and this 16 min video is by far the best. Thank you sir! Liked and subbed for doing the GAT DANG job other youtubers failed to do.

@magnusjohansson295 11 ай бұрын

Very good tutorial!!! So easy to create music. And when you're finished with your four tracks, you can start wishing there were four more... I quess you could just buy another JDXI! Or record tracks one by one into a portastudio, that's another way of "getting past" having just four tracks. For some applications, four is enough of course. Seems like a great little machine, the JD XI. I know of no other mini synth that can do what it does.

@nsera9462 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your response. With the arpeggiator I changed some of the settings through menu and scrolled across to arpeggiator and changed the octave range to +1. I then have tried to do a base line similar to say Blue Monday FCDGCD and I reduced the tempo down as it was too fast, however when I played the rest of the tracks they were also reduced in tempo which I did not want. Is there a way for just the base to stay at one tempo using the arpeggiator while the rest of the tracks keep the same tempo?

@ghoststalkermusic 5 жыл бұрын

@@nsera9462 To my knowledge there isn't a way to change the tempo for individual voices. Whenever you change the tempo knob it will change the tempo for all voices. For what you are trying to do you might have better results programing the bassline with the sequence mode or real time recording mode. I think by default the arpeggiator hits 16th notes, where the bassline for Blue Monday hits on 8th notes.

@nsera9462 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks, appreciate your thoughts. I will go into the arpeggiator and set it to 8th notes and see how it goes.

Hey, I saw someone comment on another video about the Tone edit menu. It is in the menu on this synth and there are a vast variety of extra controls to manipulate sound with there if anyone is interested. It is a little overwhelming tho as there is A TON more parameters than I originally had thought.
