Roland at Winter NAMM 2015

20 Jan 2015, 06:06
Hi,

There is quite a buzz about the new Roland JD-Xi Synth, which will be shown at Winter NAMM 2015.

Any clue if Roland will be showing anything else as far as new Synth, Module, or Workstation ?

Thanks,
Muziksculp

I believe there will the JDXi plus something else. In a sonicstate video it was stated that 'Roland was round this morning showing something new and it wasn't the JXDi.'

Wish I knew!

The only other clue I have is that I've been told I will like it - but I like a lot of things so that doesn't really narrow it down much lol :)

I like synths and workstations (high end ones) - but not sure if Roland will release a workstation, even a high end one, when the FA is still enjoying good sales. Similarly, I would expect Roland to keep pushing the newer jupiters, although they're 4 years old now.

So my guess is that it's either a new poly synth or it's a poly for the Aira range (I also like Aira!) - ie something like the Juno 60 with ACB re-interpretation.

PS I've always been completely wrong with previous predictions for NAMM so I expect 2015 will be no different!!

Bring on the INTEGRA-8.

This could be that big moment I've been waiting for; there's a hole in my rack reserved specifically for it.

I'll continue praying...

+1000

ROLAND will delight me as well if they release an Integra-8, even though, I have the Integra-7.

But will they release it this Winter NAMM 2015 ? That's the big question. We shall know on Thursday, Jan. 22nd.

Good Luck to all,

Just a guess...

- JD-Xi
- New Analog like Jupiter
- New "boxes" derived from the integra

Someone else said exactly the same and I think it is s good clue, will see...

Boxes derived from the Integra... that would be it! A compact SonicCell-like module, I would be sold immediately.

You like cool stuff, so this is promising. Based on this, I think the only thing we can dismiss is an organ. :) However, we can't dismiss an electric cello (powered by a Tesla coil), nor a baby wombat beatbox!

An ACB polysynth would be great! As would something with more SuperNATURAL acoustic tones. The Jupiters have 117 tones (77 without the lower quality APS). The Integra raised the bar to 256. A new SuperNATURAL module with 384+ tones including new articulations would be an instabuy. Here's hoping for SuperNATURAL voices/choirs! Basically, Tyros territory without the cheese.

There is a thread running on the Gearslutz website ref the JD-XA. it's a prototype but is being described as the new flagship synth, presumably with analogue circuitry.

Hopefully, the build quality will reflect it's flagship status as I am very find of Roland's higher end products!

I would post some links and photos but don't seem to be able to.

Cello will like the new beatbox…

Shhh! I can't talk right now. You-know-who is watching.
