Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an innitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see gure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

Introduction

Turning On/O the Power
* Once everything is properly connected (p. 3), be sure to follow the procedure below to
turn on their power. If you turn on equipment in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment failure.
* Before turning the unit on/o, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume
turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/o. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
Before turning on the JD-XA’s power, consider these two questions:
1.
5Are your speakers or headphones connected correctly? 5Is the connected equipment powered-o?
Turn the MASTER [Volume] knob on the top panel all the way to the left.
2.
Turn on the [POWER] switch located on the rear panel.
3.
* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after turning the
unit on is required before it will operate normally.
Switch on power to the connected equipment, and raise the volume to an
4.
appropriate level.
Turning O the Power
Before turning o the power, consider these two questions:
1.
5Have you minimized the volume of the connected equipment? 5Have you saved any sounds or patterns that you created?
Turn o the power for all connected audio devices.
2.
Turn o the [POWER] switch of the JD-XA.
3.
About the Auto O Function
The power to this unit will be turned o automatically after a predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last used for playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated (Auto O function). If you do not want the power to be turned o automatically, disengage the Auto O function.
“Making the Power Automatically Turn O After a Time (Auto O)” (p. 15)
&
NOTE
5Any settings that you are in the process of editing will be lost when the power is
turned o. If you have any settings that you want to keep, you should save them beforehand.
5To restore power, turn the power on again.

Selecting a Sound (Program)

Selecting a Part

Each analog part is monophonic. The [Poly Stack] button lets you make the four monophonic analog parts operate in four-voice polyphony (p. 5).
Selecting an ANALOG Part
Function Operation
Select a part to edit
Select a part to play from the keyboard
Part mute
MEMO
Since the analog synth parts consist of analog circuitry, their sound may be aected by the temperature, the power supply, and the environment in which the instrument is located.
Selecting a DIGITAL Part
The digital parts are polyphonic. Each part is a three-partial SuperNATURAL synthesizer, and you can use four such parts.
Press a Select [01]–[04] button to make it light. You can select multiple parts by pressing multiple buttons simultaneously. You can’t select analog parts and digital parts simultaneously.
Press an On [01]–[04] button to make it light. If the button is unlit, that part won’t produce sound.
Hold down the [Shift] button and press an On [01]–[04] button (blinking: muted / lit: unmuted). The mute status is shown while you hold down the [Shift] button.
About the program select screen
:
INIT PROGRAM
A program consists of a total of eight parts: four analog parts and four digital parts. After editing a program, you can save it in internal memory (INT:A01–INT:P16) or on a USB ash drive (USB:A01–USB:P16).
Selecting a Program
