The newly developed monophonic analog synth section features saw, triangle, and square waveforms with pulse-width modulation and an analog filter, plus an independent sub oscillator for low-end power. Two digital synth sections offer 128-voice polyphony and a wide range of high-quality SuperNATURAL synth tones, including pads, strings, electric piano, sound effects, and many others.Gooseneck Mic for Vocoder, AutoPitch, and Other Vocal EffectsThe JD-Xi comes with a sturdy, high-quality gooseneck mic that brings even more fun to the party. Using the Vocoder, you can sing into the mic and control the tone and pitch via sounds played on the keyboard. With AutoPitch, its simple to achieve the exaggerated, robotic vocal sounds that are common in todays pop and electronic music styles. Theres also a cool Auto Note function that allows you to sing JD-Xi synth sounds without touching the keyboard!Build Loops with the Four-Track Pattern SequencerUsing the intuitive pattern sequencer and large selection of onboard sounds, youre able to create and perform sophisticated music with only the JD-Xi.
