Roland JD-Xi Crossover Synthesizer with V-Moda Headphones

Full Description

Roland JD-Xi Interactive Analog/Digital Crossover Synthesizer

Analog/digital hybrid synthesizer

Incorporating an innovative and powerful analog/digital crossover sound engine, the JD-Xi combines the best features of both to deliver an extremely versatile and expressive synth in one stylish and robust unit. Producing the warm and authentic tone of a traditional analog synth combined with the clarity and adaptability of a modern digital synth, the JD-Xi is perfect for a range of music genres and playing styles.

Featuring saw, triangle and square waveforms with pulse modulation and analog filtering, the JD-Xi offers a huge variety of tones and also includes a independent sub oscillator for optimized low response. Two digital synth sections offer 128-voice polyphony and a wide range of high-quality SuperNATURAL synth tones, including pads, strings, electric piano, sound effects, and many others.

Gooseneck microphone for vocal effects

With a built in gooseneck microphone you can produce a variety of vocoder, autopitch and other vocal effects to add a unique flavour to your performance. Simply sing into the gooseneck microphone and use the keyboard to control the pitch and sounds created whilst the auto note function allows you to "sing" synth sounds without even interacting with the keyboard.

Loops and pattern sequencer

The built in pattern sequencer on the JD-Xi offers four separate tracks of two digital synths, analog synths or drum patterns allowing full and intricate loop creation. Additionally, the real-time and step recording modes provide unique programming whilst the TR-REC mode offers the traditional Roland TR-Series beatboxes. It's easy to play patterns and tweak sounds as you perform, and many preset patterns are built in for jamming right out of the box.

Professional sounding drum kits

Loaded with a huge variety of professional captured and edited drum samples, the JD-Xi can create premium quality rhythm patterns with full and realistic sounding drums. With both electronic and acoustic drum kits, the JD-Xi has kits to suit everyone, which are clearly labelled and selectable through the built in screen. Furthermore, you can also customize and edit each drum kit to create hybrid kits by adjusting the filter, envelope, pitch and pan parameters on each individual drum sound.

Sound modulation and high-grade effects

The JD-Xi incorporates four powerful and individual effects sections, which allow you add a range of effects to your sounds to create unique and professional tones. With effect 1 and 2 offering parameters such as Bit Crusher, Slicer and Ring Mod, the JD-Xi also features independent Delay and Reverb controls to create spacious ambient tones. Each effects section can be turned on/off separately for the three synth sections and drums, allowing you to shape your mix with many creative combinations.

Premium-grade sound - perfect for DJs, producers and more

V-Moda M-100 Crossfade are a pair of studio-quality headphones with an extended frequency response ideal for a range of musical applications from professional monitoring to live DJ sets and more.

The 50mm dual-diaphragm driver features inner and out rings designed to separate the bass from blending into the mids and highs, ensuring you can differentiate between frequency bands. The drivers also deliver consistent quality, with V-Moda testing the Crossfade’s sound quality across 6 frequencies for optimal audio performance.

High-end comfort, perfect for the stage

The over-ear design of the V-Moda M-100 features a sleek design with a versatile construction that helps to accommodate the natural contours of your head and minimise any gaps, for minimal sound leakage. You can also customise the look of your headphones by 3D printing or laser engraving your logo, changing your shield material or the colour scheme. The comfortable yet virtually indestructible SteelFlex headband ensures the headphones will last for a long time, providing the ultimate durability.

The SteelFlex headband is ultra-flexible, making it ideal for DJ use and travelling. The headphones were also tested beyond military-level quality MIL-STD810G, being one of the most robust and durable headphones available on the market. The V-Moda M-100 Crossfade’s also includes Bliss Memory Foam ear cushions designed for supreme comfort and noise isolation.
