The Roland JD-XI
I'm really really tempted to buy it after playing with it in a store, but I didn't had my iPad with me.
Can anyone confirm what's happening when it's connected to the ipad? I understood that it's not Core Compliant, so I guess the audio doesn't work, but I guess you can send and receive MIDI, right ?

MIDI works, Audio not.
well, I guess it would've been a beautiful dream, huh ?
Do you have it?
I'm also curious about triggering the oscillators with a guitar. I've seen a guy on youtube doing it.
So basically you can plug your guitar to the hi-z input and use it as a monophonic keyboard.
I haven't plugged a guitar into it (can't play guitar). But I've plugged a Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator into it (the Sub). I had this bassline made on the PO, and thought I'd try the note recognition feature on the JDXi to copy over the bassline on the PO to the JDXi's internal sequencer, and that did work pretty well actually. As long as the sound from the PO wasn't too mangled. I'm fairly sure this will work a lot better with a guitar though.
Haven't tried plugging in the iPad, but read that midi should work (as mentioned above as well). It is class compliant, at least as far as being recognized as a midi device by Windows (and iPad) . You have two settings inside the JDXi for the USB, one is "Generic" which is the "class compliant" mode. The other is "Vendor", which you use if you wanna install Roland's usb drivers on your computer so you can use the jdxi's internal audio interface w. ASIO etc. I'm guessing early review units perhaps were set to Roland's USB mode.
I sold the JD-Xi. Mainly because of his poor MIDI implementation (fixed channels, no MIDI filtering). Featurewise and soundwise the JD-Xi is really great, but he did not integrated well in my setup.
Midi filtering for incoming note on/off I take it you mean? With a software DAW that's no issue since you'd just not route any unwanted midi to the JDXi. With a hardware based setup it could def. be an issue tho if those 4 channels can't be avoided. Let's hope Roland can implement something here
It does have a local control setting tho that will remove control from the JDXi so you don't keep dubbel triggering sounds, events etc.
