I always love Roland gear including this synth. This is a great product for a great price! Durable, easy to use and sounds great. What more could you ask for? Great for home practice, studio use or live performance. This is a real hands on review by Teal from Sam Ash

Cool Synth by Roland!! Awesome sounds for producing, writing and performing EDM Dance Music. Brings a sweet collection of 129 analog/digital synths and sounds. 37 mini keys for portability and can be used as a midi controller as well. Lots of faders and knobs for making your own unique sound. "This is a real hands-on product review from [email protected] Ash Orlando"

This is the perfect system for vintage synth tones. Great affordable price and easy to use. I have had many newer synths and none have compared to the quality of tones and offered features in one keyboard. This is a hands on review from eric @ Sam Ash Music Cincinnati.

I am in love with this synth. I can control fat basslines and tweak melodies instantaneously. A built in vocoder, live looper, auto-pitch, oscillator... the possiblities are endless, even for the amatuer musician looking to sound pro.

Roland's new JD-XI is an analog-digital hybrid synth that invites immediate comparisons to the venerable MicroKorg -- from the mini-sized keys to the built-in vocoder and included gooseneck microphone. But Roland has added a few tricks of their own to differentiate the JD-XI from Korg's equivalent - most notably a pattern sequencer for drums and synth sounds that enables electronic musicians to quickly and intuitively create sketches of beats and songs. In addition to the warm analog oscillator and filter, Roland has included several "real" sounds such as grand pianos and organs to round out the sonic pallette on this very cool, versatile product. Highly recommended. This is a real hands-on product review from Caleb at Sam Ash White Plains.

Roland's new JD-XI hybrid analog/digital synth immediately invites comparisons to the venerable MicroKorg - from its mini-size keys to the built-in vocoder. Roland has added some tricks of their own, though - a pattern sequencer for drums and synth sounds makes it easy for electronic musicians to begin composing original tracks right on the synth, without need for a computer or other recording setup. And "real" sounds like pianos and organs round out the versatile synth tones. Overall, this is an awesome little synth! This is a real hands-on product review from Caleb at Sam Ash White Plains.

This unit has everything a performer can ask for. Great for live or recording use, this synth has a ton of sounds and effects to help you express your creative ideas. It's also portable and easy to use! Stop by your nearest Sam Ash for a product demo! This is a real hands-on product review from Rocco @ Sam Ash Edison.

This is a true analogue, digital hybrid. There are a wide range of sounds, so it will work for anything from dubstep to rock music. It's small and light weight so you can carry it around with you on the road. The vocoder adds a ton more options, adding to its versatility.
