This video is the most popular for some reason. If you like it, please subscribe to my channel for more synth stuff.

I loved the sounds and potential of this hybrid synth but got a bit frustrated how hidden the controls were. I spent quite some time trying to make sense of Sysex and bought a Roland A800-Pro controller. Now I have access to the full power of an analog synth with one knob per function, almost :)

Even managed to dial in a fat Moog bass quickly thanks to Attack Decay Sustain Release on the Amp and the Low Pass Filter. In the end you get a hybrid multi timbral synth for a few hundred euros. Classic Roland drum machines, 808, etc
2 Digital Synth, each with 3 oscillators, each oscillator with their filter and LFO
A fully Analog Synth, mono, perfect for fat bass and leads.
I hope Roland doesn't blame us for unleashing this beast.

The JD-xI MIDI implementation document is necessary to know which CC and Sysex messages. But when you have doubt (it's a messy document) or if it doesn't work, you can use MIDI Monitor app on your computer with source as the JD-xI and action one of the knobs on sliders on the Roland and see the resulting parameter in the Midi Monitor. This way you know which commands to send from the A-PRO.
