Two Tribes - Frankie Goes to Hollywood | JDXi | JDXi Editor

Описание: Two Tribes – Frankie Goes to Hollywood | Roland JD-Xi | JD-Xi Editor
This video features a JD-Xi recreation of “Two Tribes” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, programmed, sequenced, and performed using the Roland JD-Xi in combination with the JD-Xi Editor.
All sounds are designed directly on the JD-Xi, with the editor used to manage patches, visualize modulation, and fine-tune parameters that are difficult to access from the hardware interface alone. The track makes extensive use of aggressive basses, punchy percussion, and evolving synth layers—hallmarks of the original production.
The JD-Xi Editor’s workflow allows for faster iteration when shaping filter movement, LFO modulation, and envelope behavior, making it easier to capture the energy and mechanical drive of the original track. Recent editor features automatically categorize tracks and parts, helping keep complex arrangements organized and readable as the project grows.
Highlights:
Full JD-Xi sound design and sequencing
JD-Xi Editor for patch control and visualization
Automatically categorized tracks and parts
Emphasis on rhythmic precision and modulation
No external synths or plugins used
This performance demonstrates how the JD-Xi, paired with a purpose-built editor, can handle dense, rhythm-focused arrangements while remaining flexible and efficient for modern production workflows.
