Common Roland JD-Xi Questions
How do I sync the JD-Xi to other devices using MIDI clock?
In the System menu, set MIDI Clock Source to 'External' to sync the JD-Xi to an external MIDI clock. Ensure your DAW or other device is transmitting MIDI clock messages on the correct MIDI channel.
How do I save my edited sounds or drum kits on the JD-Xi?
Press the 'Menu' button, navigate to 'Write,' and select the desired location (Preset or User) to save your current sound/kit; then press 'Enter' to confirm.
The sequencer isn't recording anything, what am I doing wrong?
Make sure the sequencer is armed (record enabled) for the parts you want to record (Analog, Digital 1, Digital 2, Drums). Also, verify the Record Mode (Realtime or Step) is set correctly in the Menu.
My JD-Xi sounds distorted or has unwanted noise, what can I check?
Check the input gain levels on the Analog and Digital parts, making sure they are not clipping. Also, ensure your external audio cables are properly connected and not introducing noise.
How do I use the Vocoder feature on the JD-Xi?
Connect a microphone to the Mic Input, select 'Vocoder' in the Program edit menu for the Analog part, and adjust the Formant and Level controls to shape the vocoder effect while speaking or singing into the microphone.
