The Roland JD-XA synthesiser is a powerful and complex instrument. There are approximately 11,000 parameters that be set in a JD-XA program, and the majority of these parameters are only accessible through the simple instrument menu interface.

Gojira Tech ‘JD-xPlay’ software is a solution to the complexity of the JD-XA synthesiser.

‘JD-xPlay’ is available as a standalone and VST3 software for both Windows and macOS users. The software allows unprecedented access to almost every feature of the instrument, in an interface that is clearly laid out and intuitive to use.

The software design is influenced by the aesthetics and usability features of the hardware, but with extensions in both navigation and visualisation of groups of instrument parameters.

You can quick compare parameters between a program’s Analog or Digital parts, MFX, TFX, Reverb and Delay parameters and even tweak the Master EQ within seconds.

JD-xPlay software features a 'Preset Manager' function that allows you to save and load Programs, Parts, Partials and “Panels” of parameters. You could load a favourite MFX, change the global Reverb or load an Arpeggiator pattern in a couple of mouse clicks.

The software is available for trial and purchase via info@gojira-tech.com. Current pricing is £199 GBP for a two-system licence.

You might think the cost is higher than typical instrument software products, but the cost a reflects the underlying complexity and development time spent making what could be, the best software purchase you will ever make…
