[@donielstrong3993]

Omg! Please release the second song to the public please! Thumbs up if you agree ppl!

[@futurewillow3269]

Why 29 dislikes this guy is amazing.

[@deondewit3175]

That cover for Pet Shop Boys Domino dancing was amazing. I think I could jam on this board all day. It just sounds so fantastic.

[@nevillepark4068]

You're truly gifted. I'd have no problem listening to this kind of production for the whole day.

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

Neville Park very high praise. Thanks for listening.

[@jahha9659]

great song patterns and smooth rich sounds... Roland is top notch for a reason when it comes to the synth sounds...

[@StefanoPapaleo-TS]

One of the best JD-Xi demos out there! Great job!

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

thanks for watching 😀

[@vaspers]

This demo made me buy the JD-Xi. THANKS.

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

I'm glad it was useful for you. please enjoy your synth, thanks for watching.

[@TechGently]

+Steven Streight Steven, and James if you haven't already, join the Roland Clan website, a great source for everything Roland!

[@vaspers]

It sounds fantastic, especially the drums.

[@skyelee327]

I'm about to purchase a synth and don't know if I should buy this one the idxi or the microkorg-s. I write pop music. any one have suggestions?? need help asap I'm buying asap

[@savanaviolenta]

Get the JD Xi

[@woodswalker88]

I love the JDXi. Although it isn't the best in the world for deep sound control...it is wonderful at building the backbone of a performance. I have finally found a synth that I could take to a local jam!

[@Sandman-ne1gz]

Great James, love this! 👏 🎹

[@jemgel1162]

Domino Dancing segment was really fun! Thanks!

[@ecoturismovalle1570]

Roland should give you a free synth just for doing such a great job

[@agentred8732]

GREAT demo! Thanks so much for doing the best job (of anyone else on KZbin) at showing off the impressive capabilities of this remarkable little synth.

[@SynthAddict]

the best demo of this little guy yet

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

+SynthAddict Thank's very much, it was real fun to make this video. I may make another one at a later date. :) Thank's for listening

[@ck88777]

The performance at 2:50 is definitely my favorite. I'm really looking into buying a JD-Xi after seeing its potential here.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

very awesome demo, just got one, i found your tracks to be very inspiring. thanks buddy.

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

Woody Piano Shack thanks for the kind words, hope you enjoy the powerhouse that is the jdxi. make sure to update for new features.

[@Musicology1975]

James McCulloch I don't need it but i just want to have it. Damn.😊

[@darryldouglas6004]

How are you enjoying it in 2024? I love mine. 😍

[@Synthshop]

Nice tunes here, your talent speaks for itself. Also these demos show just how underrated the JD-Xi is. It's one of Roland's finest ever. Its Rolands' "Microkorg" but much better, and the microkorg is no slouch. Hopefully Roland will be as smart as Korg has been and keep producing the JD-XI for many more years to come.

[@fakinlunatik3553]

And upgrade it with quality keys precise knobs metal housing track faders unquantized seq. velocity pad multiple outs etc...

[@СергейКалапов-ч1о]

Отлично! Под вашу музыку танцевать хочеться!

[@shawnfloyd5757]

best demo/performance ever! Cool sounds and beats!! Great job!

[@ΜάρκοςΒουγιουκλής]

Excellent music my friend! So inspiring and so sweet! And how mamy composing ideas you had! I loved it! Thanks! Keep posting more! 😊❤️

[@alexanderh1273]

definitely the best demonstration of the jdxi thus far...I'm sold.

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

Alexander H thanks for listening. glad you enjoyed it.

[@sirjellybeans1st19]

Excellent! Really cool Demo

[@coscrupi]

Keyboard experimentations always last a good first day when purchased. Always fun...especially with headphones on.

[@Electro4locos]

beautiful sounds, great tunes!

[@notpopebuthope]

GREAT sounds😎 - yes, it is a wonderful device!👌 ... well done!👍 ... Cheers from Austria!🍺

[@darryldouglas6004]

Hello from 2024! This is an awesome video of an awesome instrument. I have one and the possibilities are endless. Well done!

[@twocenttroll8596]

great demonstration! We just purchased the Jd-Xi for the studio and i wanted to see some more of its capabilities. This is the best i've come across so far and it's fantastic! Great vid!

[@tommychappell6359]

this is probably the most jazzy tune ive heard,this music is so my style!!!. it also kind of sounds like a game i used to play on gamecube, super monkey ball..

[@jamesfarragher6911]

You're a great musician, All these songs were great. You've convinced me to buy one of these!

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. You'll totally love it, such a good little synth. turns out good things DO come in small packages.

[@NIEBIESKIERĘKAWICZKI]

I want more and more of your superb music 😎👌🏻🎹

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

I'm on sound cloud as Polyevolver. My profile pic is bright blue water themed thing. There's a wider range of what I make there. More videos are coming this year.

[@wahwahwalker]

very awesome !!!

[@Tobalyeth]

I have a JD-Xi myself and love it. Your syncopated rhythm beats in the performance in the 20 minute range are brilliant! I close my eyes it sends my mind off to a very cool space! Great piece man!

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

+Geoffrey Dautrich Thanks for listening, glad you enjoyed.

[@128mark]

[@Lenamusic]

[@ijuskann]

Ah, you've inspired me to go play around on my jd-xi.....thank you for showing off its capabilties (beyond typical house music)!

[@skoozeblood]

[@dave498887]

[@tom2732]

I will buy it thanks to this video, thank you James!! (love the slap bass one song)

[@bigmorris80able]

You Sold me brother !!!!! I gotta get one bro!!!! Simply Amazing !!!

[@leiruagetro]

Amazing Demo. I just bought one of these about a month ago and I'm so blown away by how amazing it is. Also Roland is awesome and is sending me their new official overlay for mine as the shiny panel got scratched over a few years of being out on the display floor.

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

Uriel Ortega hope you enjoy it as much I did.

[@nathancoleman7921]

13:25 Absolute fire James.

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

Cheer bud

[@Amathusukx]

I've been looking at what i'd call these budget Synths from all brands and I still keep coming back to the JD-Xi. The sounds from this I find fantastic and the usability is amazing, there's something about Roland sounds that have me hooked so I think i'm going to have to invest in this little Synth.

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

Hey, thanks for the comment. I've just bought the bigger brother of the JDXI, the JDXA. I'd highly recommend both synths.

[@Amathusukx]

I have looked at that, saw. a good performance on the JD-Xa by Kebu. Also got my eye on the Tr-8

[@sandrodellisanti1139]

fantastic sounds, thank you for this.. i only played some tracker Songs in the 1990s, but this Synth ist great.. many greetings from Brunswick

[@salvolama7768]

it's great sound !!!

[@Metasu]

Wow~ That's sweeeet~ Love it!

[@Casious_Productions]

Just superb!! Got my mind set up now..going for a JD-Xi :-p

[@dreamup8431]

I like your sound. You def have talent!

[@popeyesbd]

really good job. I love some of your songs!

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

+popeyesbd Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed. The JDXi is a lot of fun to make music on which made this video a joy to make.

[@Jabedabedo28]

Well done James ! Love it very much.

[@crnkmnky]

Wow, this is quite a treat. Thanks! 🎶

[@rossdebaas2280]

I have one on order. I spotted "Home & Dry" & "Domino Dancing" here! it was nice to hear the depth of the filter on the digital synth at the end of home and dry.

[@zorenkillfang404]

2:51 I like that demo

[@PierGen]

Amazing performances!

[@tommorello8628]

This is so good.... god dayum

[@blondi_80]

I really love the very last song you did, brilliant job, great video. I'm really wanting to get me a JD-XI 🙂

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

Amber kate do get one if you can. they're so cool.

[@earthsgroove79]

love it. I just picked one of these babies up. nice to see what it's capable of. so far the only thing I've created is a spacey sort of soundscape

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

glad you like the video and hope you enjoy the synth. it's a gem.

[@stigonutube]

Very Very Cool.Well done..

[@GrizzlyRed]

Man I love this! This is true inspiration! I really would love to pick up a JD-XI soon!

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. thanks for listening.

[@GeorgeSundancermusic]

This was an excellent demo :~)

[@echurchofindy179]

Gary Numan Cars patch on JDXi - (Seq228 - Saw Poly with mod wheel at 30%). OMG!!!!! When I cranked this up and recognized that sound, the same sound Gary gets on his Polymoogs, then I REALLY loved this baby Roland!!!!

[@THEDTSMAN]

This is really good. Thanks for uploading.

[@Alitalia350]

Best Demo i have seen! So nice...Thx

[@leftpeg777]

Great demo of the sounds capable on this little synth, loved the "home n dry" version, you play really well. Thinking of buying this synth, was also looking at the mini nova, but decided this one's for me. Thanks for posting one of the best vids on this synth.

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

very kind of you thanks. I had the mininova myself and sold it less than a month later. poor build quality and a matrix that's only really usable when connected to a computer. you can make nice sounds but it's an arse to program to any degree of depth. thanks for listening

[@woodswalker88]

I have the Ultranova & the MicroKorg. It's nice to have a second synth to play along & get more variety in the sounds.

[@dmc523]

Great video! I am leaning toward buying this synth and this video has won me over.

[@stevenroberts4956]

My kind of music. Very good. Very 80’s in places brought to the future. Second one sounds the best 👌

[@Casious_Productions]

Loved the Domino Dancing

[@phalgunasomraj]

I was thinking of buying this, but after watching this, I am definitely buying it!!!

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

phalguna somraj don't sit on the fence. Take the plunge

[@phalgunasomraj]

I will if you promise to help me with troubleshooting! Will ya? Just kidding.

[@phlhrgster]

Going to have to treat myself to one of these...

[@larsw8601]

Awesome job....that little unit packs a lot for the price.

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

+LARS W Thanks, yeah it sure has a lot going for it. If you're thinking of getting one, don't hesitate. Thanks for listening.

[@ybrecher]

AMAZING WHAT A GREAT SYNT

[@slowneutron6163]

Well done.

[@Xenooni]

awesome video dude! I saw one of these in a shop window today, 500 (canadian) bones. Now i am seriously considering buying it...

[@culturefan]

Really great demo.

[@alphalux]

I really enjoyed this. I've been particularly enamored with the style of bass line that you started at the 3 minute mark. I'm wondering if there is a genre or musical style associated with it. It is reminiscent of some of the great stuff from the SNES video game era, particularly with games involving driving (F-Zero) or adventure RPGs (Drakkhen). It has such a wide open feel with unique momentum. Thank you for sharing.

[@Markolipol]

Very good. Congratulations.

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

thanks very much.

[@KnuckleThruster]

Amazing demo!

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

Irish Chubb thanks

[@machiwoomiapoo]

Home and Dry at 5:30. I love that song. I'm going to see the Pet Shop Boys in October! :) Keep up the great videos. Take care, Sam.

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

Cheers sam, there's another PSB cover there as well.

[@FarrinD12]

Great stuff! I keep coming back to this video. You definitely had a hand in my purchase of one of these!

[@jamesmcculloch4884]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. how are you enjoying the synth?

[@FarrinD12]

+James McCulloch oh man, I love it! And I'm working on a rig to incorporate my infinity looper, bass and sax with it too. Thanks again for the awesome video!

[@FarrinD12]
