Roland's JD-Xi is a bit of all white… and silver

Roland's diminutive hybrid synthesizer, the JD-Xi, is now available in a limited edition silver and white livery while stocks last.

Ditching the very fingerprint-revealing black, Roland has opted for a white and silver treatment whilst retaining the red LEDs and display. Although the red halo around each of the knobs has been ditched in favour of a more subdued look.

The news comes just a week after DJ Hardwell showed off his very special white JD-XA (no doubt to fit in with his extremely white new studio), but it doesn't look like Roland will be bringing this particular version to market anytime soon. Shame.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
