The Roland JD-XA is a hybrid analog and digital synthesizer that was released in 2015 alongside the JD-Xi, it is Roland's first analog polyphonic synthesizer since 1986.[1] The instrument is encased by a shiny black front panel covered with knobs and sliders reminiscent of the Roland JD-800.[2] The JD-XA comprises a 4 voice analog engine and a 64 voice digital engine, which can be used interactively or independently, thus providing a flexible platform for sound design.[3]
