Beautiful sounds and track. I recently picked up the limited edition JD-Xi in red. Wanted to control it from another full size keyboard as I'm not a fan of the min keys. The more videos I watch with people performing on this little monster make me realize that I got to learn it. This is really good !
i have made some AWESOME drum programs on the jdxi... but now to go where our boy woody has gone... extend it to four measures and have an actual melody with chord changes. incredible machine. i have the casio xwp1, the korg micro and the novation mininova. all four together rock the house.
Love what you've done with this Woody (and everything else on the channel). As others have said, it's great that you adapt a piece of kit creatively. As a 'keyboard dabbler of a certain age' it inspired me to pick up one of these and muck about to create electronica sounds from my youth. Keep the good work going 👍
Very nice and smoth ambient. Like e 20 yers back first synth ambient song, and now with fine clear sound. I have JD-Xi in white version, but your synth sound in black color more darkl..and warm he he!
excellent sound , a real magical and mystical sound, the reverb is just mind bending good ! i can tell you are going to have many hours of fun with this new keyboard. your original tune is just brilliant ! mega thumbs up ! 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
This is superb, I kind of regret selling mine. What i can say is there is an overlay from Roland which really helps and which i fitted. I hate mini key synths and for me if this were in a 49 synth action unit of full size keys,Then it would be a keeper. The Analog part is week. But as a sketchpad for ideas there is nothing to rival this. Anyway onward's and upwards as i bought an AN1X with the funds and have fell in love with it.:) Nice demo Woody you are the man.
Hey Woody, just subscribed to your channel and have really enjoyed what I've seen so far. Just about to purchase a JD-Xi and I guess, from your reaction and work, I going to enjoy it. Outgoing keyboard is my Korg Krome. Just too steep a learning curve to have instant fun. Fingers crossed. Cheers.
Wow. Slogging through the sea of JD-Xi review videos for pre-purchase research, I would have never dreamed to stumble on something so magical. This is incredible, well done sir. My mind is blown a bit actually - do you have any other toys plugged in to your JD-Xi here? Or is it your DAW? I see your sequencer flash through once, then the sequence then repeats and VARIES 3 times afterwards without the sequencer lights on - how the hell are you doing that? I've been playing around in ambient land for a few years now, and this precise layering structure is something I've been trying to attain the entire time. Tell me your secrets!!
hi, thanks, i should listen again, i liked this track and it's been a while, everything played by jd-xi in one take, the DAW is handling the recording and extra verb! the absence of lights is because the sequence is much longer than available lights, i played in at half time to get double length pattern, check my tutorial & review vid, cheers
Thanks for watching, here are the patches: D1: Sqr Reso Plk D2: Organ Pad DR: Not used :) AN: Analog tone tweaked a bit (used for the lead)¨ By the way, just uploaded a new version of this track
Absolutely love this piece. Your sense of flow inside the track is spot on, and it's evident that even within a fairly simple premise, you can build character and soul into it. I am having a hard time not using this as the final excuse to get my mitts on a JD-XI, but in truth, I don't think it's the synth that sells this video. It's your musicality. Thank you for making, and sharing, this! (I do wonder though, I've read a lot about the build quality of the keys on the JD-XI. Did you experience any flakiness on that account?)
thanks claes, very happy that you found some soul in this piece, that¨s quite an achievement for a little synth with mini keys. talking of which, i had no problems, but after reading the posts on the facebook group I treated it very carefully
hello! i got used to them immediately. i don't have a problem with them, they are quite responsive and nice to play. i think 37 mini keys is better than 25 full sized keys on a compact synth.
I hate to ask, but im new to synth and just got a jdxi. im trying to recreate this song as practice. i found the patches in the comments, but could you tell me the chords or notes youre using for the main riff? i thought this sounded really cool btw.
The music and sounds that I am getting out of the Roland JD-XI is fricking mind blowing and amazing. Don't believe me, check out my SBN Music Videos in the playlists section on my channel here. Welcome and enjoy. This stand alone is pure INSPIRATION!...SBN
don't remember, but it's a trick to get double the pattern length limit by halving the tempo and doubling the quantization.1/16 to 1/32. ok that's halving.. :) there are youtube vids showing how to do it.

Wow, this is beautiful. Well done! A great demonstration of what you can achieve with the JD-XI. Thanks mate.
Stirring track, Woody. Man you’re good at this! Love the biscuit tin monitor riser! 😂
Wow, what a beautiful song, a great inspiration for working with the JD-XI. Thanks for sharing!
The spectrum shows beautiful symphony. Wonderful sound.
Sounds awesome!

Love the monitor stand! (Nice piece too!)

Nice! Love the icy 80s vibe.
I liked Very much! The organ at the music peak was fantastic!!!
glad you enjoyed, check out "mind's eye" that's my favourite.. :)
Very impressed! Great sounds, man.
Fantastic Performance! This Synth is great for the Price!

Beautiful, a very Autumnal track, nice one.
awesome!
Charas hai boss... Good job
Beautiful demo man!
Am looking at getting one shortly. I use Reaped as my DAW and it looks like the JD-Xi integrates nicely with it.
Lovely
Nice!
I love this song. It's really beautiful... reminiscent of blade runner somehow.

hey thanks, very nice of you to write the comment, cheers.

Maybe if I send you my AN1x you could demonstrate as to how to play it correctly. Bless u😁
Very nice woody!!...😊👍
cheers lee
Yes, this is the True Ambient!
Amazing sounds and music piece!!! This convinced me to buy a JD-xi instead of the Ultra Nova!
Daniel Nilsson buy both! i got the mini nova. does things the roland cant and they team up real well
You made a wise choice my friend...SBN
Hey Woody, just subscribed to your channel and have really enjoyed what I've seen so far. Just about to purchase a JD-Xi and I guess, from your reaction and work, I going to enjoy it. Outgoing keyboard is my Korg Krome. Just too steep a learning curve to have instant fun. Fingers crossed. Cheers.
i think you'll love it, if you can get over the mini-keys. thx for subbing.
I sold my Krome too to buy the JD xi. Had loads of fun with the Krome too but wasn't playing it anymore. The JD xi is a different kind of fun.
i traded my juno ds61 to get the jdxi! well worth it!

@@WoodyPianoShack Excellent, will do. Thanks man!
More video with the JD Xi, please (and bravo, subbed)
thanks for sub, intend to do more with the xi!
Woody, pretty ambient. Love it, you're taking off there :D I wonder what this program is all about?1
Great relaxing track... Really enyoing it after that hard day. Possible to list the patches that are used ? Thanks!
Thanks for watching, here are the patches:
D1: Sqr Reso Plk
D2: Organ Pad
DR: Not used :)
AN: Analog tone tweaked a bit (used for the lead)¨
By the way, just uploaded a new version of this track
that shit is fire!
Really enjoyed this Woody, very nice ambient sounds and flow... actually prefer the mono version to stereo ;) Keep it up.

Beautiful work. You should get a commission from Roland. You present it very nicely.
too kind of you smoky, cheers
Very nice!!! How many sequencer tracks on this? All 3 synths?
Very nice! What do you think about the "Mini Keys"? Does it take some time getting used to them?
hello! i got used to them immediately. i don't have a problem with them, they are quite responsive and nice to play. i think 37 mini keys is better than 25 full sized keys on a compact synth.
Are these patches for sale? I neeeeeed them!
no, but I recall all were onboard presets, just tweaked in realtime.
I hate to ask, but im new to synth and just got a jdxi. im trying to recreate this song as practice. i found the patches in the comments, but could you tell me the chords or notes youre using for the main riff? i thought this sounded really cool btw.
just an improv, didn't make any notes about the notes :) you'll have to figure out by ear I'm afraid, but that's always a good exercise.
Thanks bro. Once I have it worked out I’ll tag you and mention your video.
The music and sounds that I am getting out of the Roland JD-XI is fricking mind blowing and amazing. Don't believe me, check out my SBN Music Videos in the playlists section on my channel here. Welcome and enjoy. This stand alone is pure INSPIRATION!...SBN
How do you get it to be so slow? The tempo? Is it 8 bars?
don't remember, but it's a trick to get double the pattern length limit by halving the tempo and doubling the quantization.1/16 to 1/32. ok that's halving.. :) there are youtube vids showing how to do it.
why writing on your synthesizer top??
labels are hard to read...
