imo the jx10 was never a strong instument.. The andro is not "roland"'ish..
So the matrix6 is more close in this case..

Even if the roland jx10 is not my favourite: do not expekt the a6 to replace
it (sound). But functionally it is far better!!..

Hope you get me right here! the jx10 is a dual jx8p, that never reached the
qualites of a jupiter 8 , but it still sounds ROLAND. And the a6 doesn¹t!
It has moog and oberheim filters..

If you have listened to the a6, you may know what I mean..

If you want the a6 for its sound and live-capability it is the right one.
everything is better than in the jx10.

The matrix 6: is a good synth, with the andro you will hace access to FASTER
ENVs.. The LFOs are still very slow on the a6.. Maybe you already know.. But
not slower than those of the matrix.

So: in your case I'd do this.. ;)
Why? The machine,that you get gives a lot back to the music!! wasn't this
the idea behind it?..

I hope I did not offend the roland folks here.. ;)
