Jack is ridiculously talented, plus his humor is contagious. Amazing vid dudes

[@jocamiah]

Jack is the only reason I watch these videos.

[@iandenson1853]

Am I the only one that can't stop watching the demo of the brass sound? Jack's joy playing it is infectious AND everything about that lick at the end is just so stinking good. I don't play synth often, but I'm thinking about picking one of these up just for that sound and the creativity that the arpeggiator inspires!

[@ShazammtheProducer]

this is how music should make you feel the sheer joy in his laugh

[@AndertonsKeyboardDept]

The right piece of equipment opens up so much inspiration!

[@joemcm1]

yea its a toy mate,good fun but absolutely awful.its like the 2019 version of casio rapman

[@therealfaintinggoat]

I don't know what I just watched but I need more of this

[@ThomAdams]

Every product review should be this much fun... dude, your laugh is infectious!!! @5:34 Jack gets funky!!!

[@purpl3t1m3]

I was going to take mine back and get the Jupiter-X when it comes out, but I'm keeping it for the portability. Jack, please do a video with layering sounds. Once people "get" the Jupiter-Xm, they'll stop scratching their heads about Roland's choices on portability. It also fills a void I didn't know I had as a platform. I own almost a dozen synths and a billion soft synths! Look at the smiles of anyone who plays this. It's a creative synth player's dream!

[@ChazSeamus28]

I love this synthesizer.. looks like so much fun.. sounds amazing as well

[@jonathankessler4684]

This thing is literally an anime theme song generator when you put that arpeggiator on and I WANT IT

[@andreilemieux9525]

hopefully obtaining a hydra synth, i have had a lesser amount of respect for roland lately. but this line of synths does kinda make me want one :D i love the idea of having a drum track baked into the synth. i have a small JDXI, and its fun. very quirky, and way too menu diving for sound design. but as a rompler, it seems to do its job. hopefully ill be able to use my JDXI as a 808/ drum sequencer/ FX/ Risers, and my minilogue and hydra can be the bass/lead etc. this jupiter XM seems like such a powerful performance tool :D hopefully we see more of this kind of thing from roland, but it has to be worked on and improved upon. lol not just the same thing but with more plug out type synths. idk. maybe im being harsh, but i find their way of releasing synths to be soo weird. the same models over and over. the past two years have been a step in the right direction (credit is due)

[@N-trepid1]

5:30 Jack is LOVING the I Arpeggio :) Thats pure joy. Love it!

[@trespacerooh]

man i love this video, the tears of joy when playing this thing made me purchase it alone. keep up the good work guys

Jack you’re the best! Love watching your videos man, you always genuinely seem to be have a great time making these. You were definitely 90% responsible for me pulling the trigger on a Moog One. Keep these great videos coming bro. Great work! 👍🏻

[@Geepstar]

The sound seems to be deep and warm.. LOVE IT, WANT IT.

[@shadowbanned5164]

Its a small synth at $2500 in my country so its a huge decision to purchase.

[@DaraM73]

CITIES OF GOLD 80’s goodness, plus critics choice award for calling out mini-key shite. Nice one Jack

[@SabcatPrinting]

Within 30 seconds of him playing, i want one. (a Jupiter XM not a Jack).

The dance at the end did me in! Good show Jack keep having fun that’s what music does for all of us!

This sounds like Jupiter 8 brought back to life... It's said it can emulate other Roland synthsizers too is that true?

[@blakevanhouten1672]

The funniest gear demo I’ve seen.

[@chromakey84]

You're honestly one of my favorite key players.

[@SethWeisfeld]

So good! I don’t need this synth, I don’t need this synth, I don’t… 💆🏼‍♂️

[@SRDhain]

At 7:38 , the top lead pad is a sound off the jv1080 which i remember using waaaay waaay back in the day. The AI flavoured arpeggiator is what this is all about. Combined with all the various synth engines, and you have a megasonic machine. This particular one is a tad small , but the full fat 61 keys one is ✊

[@fcf8269]

I would love to see a video with patch design to be honest; more than hearing what presets sound like

[@valdiskrebs566]

If you are a solo act, with no band mates, it is nice to have an XM with iArp (s/b called AI-Arp). Would be better with 4 octaves.

[@Kakamu]

Funny as always. Nice video

[@annother3350]

[@baconfister]

It’s an amazing little box of fun! If only something like this existed back in my teen years in the 1980s instead of a room full of tens of thousands of dollars worth of equivalent Roland synth classics!

[@jjrusy7438]

This synth is nice, until I saw the price. Also, "Songs in the Key of Life" is an amazing album. Everyone should listen to it at least once, although much of it has been on the radio etc. It must be like 40 yrs old already, but remains timeless.

[@oldbatwit5102]

Yeah...... the price!

[@Zealous_Tutorials]

I think Roland has just created a monster

[@liothomasart]

Zealous Tutorials indeed

[@Christof_Classen]

*YES, but a "complicated" Monster, not really funny to USE ;(*

[@embededfabrication4482]

but how do you build a patch ? the software is so difficult, you start with an init tone but it has to be part of a new scene? Can't see how to do things like change pulse square wave. is it from jupiter 8 function? spend a lot of time trying to figure this thing out to no avail

[@jupitermarx]

[@sronedgecustom9396]

love the jack approach with his gear demos; want to love the Roland JXM but... why half pregnant. Why not 4 octaves OR desktop module only AND more importantly why no friggen after touch on the key deck (seriously?!). love the sound, love the concept of models (I am a guitarist so the world of digital sims of old school "models" resonates), intrigued by the idea of AI for apeggio but heyzeus Roland, this is a miss for me in terms of hardware. just purchased a DSI REV2 instead.

[@fortheloveofnoise]

Get the Jupiter X.

[@matszh]

Have the Rev2 and all the synths I need, still want the Xm...

[@wavester46]

Not sure what to think of this synth for $2,500AUD. Got a MODX for $1800 full size 76 board. Also the JDXI was $600 bucks here and a fun machine. Sounds lush but.

[@InnerVisions68]

John The MODX is definitely a better overall value, but this is a good value, as well. I think comparing almost any current synth to a MODX isn’t a fair comparison. I personally think the MODX line is the best bang-for-the-buck synth available.

[@InnerVisions68]

Jim Burke I love my MODX7

[@TurnFullCircle]

If stock aitken and waterman had a baby........

[@adamntbk]

Hey, remember all those old consumer-level “family” keyboards in the 90s that had auto-accompaniment built in? Because it seems like nobody is remembering those. This looks kinda lame and gimmicky.

[@InnerVisions68]

[@kabood777]

no, no no no! I agree with the title, this shouldn't be allowed, what the fuck is this man, there comes ready-made already mixed and mastered albums out of its arpeggio mode!

[@andycarrillo48]

Could I make edm like dark synthwave type growling fast bpm type beats with this ? Like the jdxi has an analog feature and it can make me have a pretty good song I like those straight to the point synthwave party ish dark ish tracks like modern ish type growling bass. Like dark house synthwave. Think 5:33 I love that house sounding slap bass sounding stuff. Modern stuff so I guess it can do that. It’s way more expensive than the jdxi too I really want it too bc it has speakers. And battery powered. So it has an all analog feature on it ? I’m new to this haven’t really searched its modes lol !

[@strongchord4384]

Stevie Wonder album laying on the table - a bit tasteless given his talent - would he play on an essentially one-finger-chord/arpeggio instrument? Great fun to watch though Jack.

[@InnerVisions68]

StrongChord You’re an idiot

[@junosensis]

1500$ for a 90's Casio ... ^^

[@JayTheLane]

Not quite but it's expensive.

[@pastorlance1]

No $1500 for rolands iconic synth engines of the Jupiter 8, Juno 106, the jp-8, the Xv 5080, RD sounds, tr 808,909,707,606,and tons of others plus the new I-arpeggiator. I just bought one and can say that to compare it to a 90s Casio is ridiculous. This thing is a beast. The mixture of digital and analog engines with their warmth and power is sonic heaven.

[@littlemouse7066]

I don't understand Roland. This is clearly a powerful instrument and they make it with mini keys?

[@Alleroc]

The way I look at is, they figure this version makes sense to people who have other larger sized keyboards. Myself, I have a Kronos, so I don't need another huge keybed sitting around taking up space, so for me it makes more sense to buy this version, and save myself money on top of that (when compared to the full size Jupiter X).

[@littlemouse7066]

@@Alleroc Ok but why mini keys? I hate them. the keyboard is already small they could have used normal sized keys considering that for some applications like electronic based music you can use a small keyboard as your only keyboard (especially for recording). and if you really think you don't need a keybed you can put out a module. By the way my compliments for the Kronos it's a great instrument.

[@djbowlz2128]

Is Jack laughing because the sounds are good or bad? I cant tell...

Roland's going to sell a lot of these to talentless people with no shame. As opposed to people like me, who is talentless but has lots, lots of shame.

[@almightyEsquilax]

New product category: Karaokeboards.

[@InnerVisions68]

You’re both clueless. Know nothing of this keyboard, or what it’s core capabilities are. It’s a serious, professional instrument. Not a cheesy, karaoke arranger keyboard, it’s a Juno and Jupiter beast, among other things. Do your basic due diligence before you post such cynical, patronizing comments.

[@stefanoehlin]

@@InnerVisions68 Omg! Not everyone will agree with you so no need to whine lika a baby.

[@almightyEsquilax]

@@InnerVisions68 You must be fun at parties!

[@MrClarkio]

@todd t well it's an analog emulated best of roland compilation keyboard. It's not even using rolands ACB technology. It's overly reliant on menu diving. Not sure if that qualifies as a beast of a Jupiter and juno. Suspect the boutiques actually have a closer sound and more hands on control. However I think the main thing people are reacting to is this iArp thing which is somewhat reminiscent of the old yamaha one finger accompaniment features their keyboards from the 80s and 90s had. TBH if Roland want to badge this as a professional instrument they would have been better served by implementing a Multi part step sequencer instead. Just MHO

Great demo despite the arrival of D-uh D at the end. Jack... you've got a spot in my band anytime.. of course we're renaming the band immediately to "Jack and his amazing band".

[@Rickytee2]

Jack magnificent as always But I'm not sure about the concept of this keyboard #Genosmarket. True Yamaha did something similar with the MOXF but this just feels a bit too gimmicky with the auto accompaniment function maybe it's purpose is to spark ideas but I was hoping for something new and cutting edge. Looks like Roland have dropped the ACB technology and replaced it with this new synth engine which essentially does the same thing. Personally not impressed with this especially being asked to hand over £1300 for a synth with nothing obviously new and with mini keys. I'm hoping it's big brother due in the new year will have something more to offer.

[@InnerVisions68]

Rick Brown I don’t think you grasp what this instrument is. It’s not about the arpeggiator/accompaniment. It’s about the multiple, modeling synth engines. If you think it is the same market as the Genos you’re way off base. It has amazing sound capabilities. Juno and Jupiter, and JV/XP among them ... It a sound module with a bonus keyboard thrown in. I’m sure you don’t get it, actually, based on your entire post.

Having spent only 1 hour @ pmt with the XM, I can say what a massive disappointment this synth is, no improvement with the poly count , still only 8 notes per level, 32 notes max unless you use the Xv or RD engine, note stealing on half the presets, the knobs constantly saying no assignment, it didn’t leave a good first impression... I really wanted one, had the money to buy it but cannot see why anyone would love it. What am I missing......
