On his Roland.uk artist page, Mike Lindup is quoted about his Roland JD-XA Synthesizer, plus he can be seen playing it and talking about it and the background of his keyboard rig with Level 42 (at least) in the linked YouTube video (dated of 2016):
MIKE LINDUP ON THE JD-XA "What I love about the JDXA is the fact that it is in effect a hybrid of analogue and digital, so that you can blend and effect classic Roland analogue synth sounds with DSP to create unique effects, or go completely digital which offers a wide soundscape. Having a built-in vocoder brings yet more possibilities to the party, and I look forward to spending time creating sounds for use with Level 42 as well as solo projects and collaborations. I also love the way it looks!”
From the same article, you can read the mention of the synth used by Mike on the 2013 album Sirens and then live:
Times change, and Mike has moved with them, returning to the studio with Level 42 for 2013’s acclaimed Sirens release, and recreating the classic hits live using the Roland RD-800 and the crossover-tech Roland JD-XA. For this iconic synth man, it’s all about “lots of colours”, and his palette has never sounded so full.
