@@palerider_New80s_music Thanks for the vid. I'm not a keyboardist but picked one of these up and love this little thing. I don't know of anything else like it on the market. Was looking at the jd xa also. Main thing I picked it up was being able to play along with my guitar using the sequencer. I seen a lot of negitive comments on these but again I love this thing. I guess for a professional it would not be to par. For some reason I'm having issues on saving multiple tracks to favorites. Thanks again for vid, much appreciated!

Love this! 👌🎹 Just got one and already having great fun with it, can I just ask how you save a track once its finished please? Thanks 👍

Hi. Rule #1 in the JD-Xi: Save any change or it will be lost", A Track or "Program" is saved by saving the 4 parts that make that program. Let's say you choose Program F25 to make a Track. Any pattern, arpeggio, tone, Fxs, or whatever you make, change or create will be stored in that particular program F25. Just press SHIFT+ WRITTING/MENU button, and then press "ENTER"". If you create a new bass tone in that program, you will find it stored in the F25 program, but it's not added to a bass bank.

Good tutorial thanks. It is probably an error on my part but when I got to the stage where you make a bassline, I completely lost the pattern of drums I has just made. Seems to have vanished haha. Not sure how i managed that.

Maybe you forgot to save the drums pattern.

@palerider_New80s_music I think you are right. I've only just started learning how to piece together full songs using favourites etc. Not had the synth for long. On the surface it looks like a groove box toy, but now I've seen some KZfaq videos, I'm starting to realise it's a very detailed machine under the hood. I'm very impressed with it. So is it a case of using shift and saving each sequence in each of the 16 Favourites buttons. Thanks again 😎👍 EDIT: Sorry, I mean are there other ways to layer the sequences together for playback other than Favourites?

@judgeberry6071 Not in this synth. The JD-Xi has not a Song mode. To create full songs with up to 8/16 tracks, you’d scale to upper synths like the Fantom series.

Heey Im an absolute beginner on this device but I have a basic question if you have time to answer; how do I record a three note (normal) chord and then have it played? Like looped ? When I try, it only plays back one note or it plays it really fast even though i slowed down the tempo... What I would like is to record a sequence of chords and then have it played in the same tempo I played it... 😫

@palerider_New80s_music 9 ай бұрын

When you make a sequence, the tempo is not the one are playing, but the b.p.m in the set up. If you want to make a sequence in the tempo you play it, use the real time rec method in 1,2 or 4 measures and loop it.
