OSCILLATORS Basically the JDXI is composed by a monophonic analog section + digital poly one + pcm drum machine.
-The analog core consists of a monophonic oscillator with 3 waveforms (square with variable width, sawtooth, triangle) + 1 sub-oscillator (1-2 octave below).
- Supernatural engine is a smart PCM rompler with articulation and offers 128 voices composed by two digital oscillators with a total of 160 PCM waveforms, not very much when compared to older machine like XV-5080

ARPEGGIATOR 128 arpeggio styles, editable grid from 1/4 to 1/24 , up to 12 different modes of playing notes within the selected style (Up, down, random, etc ...), velocity, octave range and accent.

SEQUENCER 4 available tracks but JDXI lacks a song mode. It is possible to record in real time with internal metronome or record step by step, using classic TR 16 steps the key. The Sequencer also provides the possibility to change the rhythmic value of the notes of each step.

EFFECTS two inserts + two send (all digital) including: Bit crusher, Compressors, Distortion, Fuzz, Flanger, Phaser, Slicer and Ring Mod.
The delay can be synchronized with variable dividers to master tempo / track and LFO.
Special vocoder with gooseneck mic, however the analog section cannot be used at the same time as it provides the carrier.
