March 9, 2018

The volume of support has now reached a scale that allows me to initiate formal outreach to the Roland product management team. I am currently finalizing a technical white paper that outlines our requested firmware modifications for their engineering department.

Mod matrix expansion please! would be great to be able to route More Sources/Destinations, ie Be able to mod the mxf and tfx settings with other sources, aftertouch or velocity for example, or one or more of the LFOs.. Also I agree with adding transpose to the sequencer, this is a no brainer.

Lack of pattern chaining (song mode) sucks. It s a must have for such a flagship synth

My priority request would definitely be: Enable the sequencer to follow key changes from keyboard. If this, and this alone, could be done, it would be a vast improvement please, especially considering this is an expensive purchase and a flagship product.

Yeah, if we could get pattern chaining and sequence transposition from the JD-XI, I'd be ultra hyped.

Pattern chaining and 8 Bar sequencer is a must imo JD Xi can have it why not XA? (pattern chaining)

Please add transpose to sequencer. Am loving this synth but not having that feature is a huge disappointment. Also, is it possible for the LED's to be dimmed via software?

Excellent Synth but could use some minor improvements. Please create a new patch. Thanks

Even his little brother (JD-XI) has a lot more to offer. Is it so hard to do?
