Roland JD-Xa Synthesizer (analog + digital!) + Aira MX

the JDXA synth is the „large“ version of the new series that the JD Xi leak looked ahead on – and looks like this: btw – Roland breaks it’s own rules not to use „old technology“ to have an analog circuit integrated! and we ALL did not even consider Roland will ever make analog again! including myself ;) NAMM 2015: Roland\'s New JD-XA – Big Daddy Of JD-XiDieses Video auf YouTube ansehen it has an analog and a digital part of a sound (layer). quite classic layout and knobs –…

Vermona – new synth (for Xmas)? & Rumours – Arturia: Audio Interface + Synth, Clavia: Nord Electro 5

Vermona just wishes a merry Christmas – but look at that synth – seems like they got something that looks like a new comfortable full sized mono oder duosynth –  the Performer and their small desktop synths may be in in a way – but well – just keep an eye on them I’d say.. ok – if it’s just saying „it’s Xmas“ they could just put some of their current synth up and add some glitter – but this is something blue and new.. right? #VerMonaLisa Korgs Odyssey will…
