Yamaha, Korg, Roland ... How To Choose face products as diverse and powerful? I do not think there is one that is "better" than the other. All dpend musical tastes of each, and "grain" research. And yes, all these races are bxs complmentaires trs. I'll dcrire the Roland, by explaining why I made this choice.

The XV-5050 dj out a few years ago, is increasingly replaced by its successor, the Fantom-XR. However, be aware that for a more affordable price, this machine offers good opportunities trs.

It is the small ERRF clbre the XV-5080 (no sampler Intgr. I will soon do a little comparison. In the latter report, we have a right to design a more polished volume trs "compact", a USB port, and 128 new sounds.

However, it loses some features INTERESTED, as the polyphony from 64 128 votes, or incompatibility with the expansion cards of the JV SERIES.

That's why I would put a 8 / 10, because cot "technique" could be a little more
pushed. But hey, what price ...

UTILIZATION

What a pleasure to tease all those little illuminated buttons, which change color depending on the mode or the selected sound. The interface is really enjoyable trs.

The program is rather simple, but it takes time for them to learn. IDAL would work with the software that is provided, both for the edition of the sounds for Fast Fashion instrumental ensembles calls "performance".
Read the manual!

SOUNDS

Finally, we come to more interesting, because that's what my adtermin
final choice. Roland sounds .... I'm really in love! Compared a Yamaha
Reason, it is not the same thing. I tried all these products before I DCID.

His rival, the pattern of sounds offers a near-perfect precision. Just cost a cello sound to be convinced. However, Roland offers a range of sound more "mellow", less aggressive than Yamaha, although less "authentic". And yes,
it is indeed two styles trs Different.

For the Roland, here are some examples:

- The guitars, especially electric, you'll be in heaven, what ism!
- The Rhodes extraordinary! they offer an inimitable musicality.
- Pads: ambient sounds complex, mind-blowing!
- Sounds ethnic musicians of vritables box, comers from around the world.
- ...

These are the least:

- Pianos: quite limited, but by reprogramming the self-same effect, you can quickly get
best rsultats
- Percussion kits, they are correct, but we hlas right that 16 kits.
Luckily there is the extension card SRX Drums.
Otherwise, it must be compensated by a sampler, synth or software.

All this to say that the sounds while remaining gnralistes, surprised many by their quality and delight players of all backgrounds.

OVERALL OPINION

Plus I play on this instrument, the more I am filled. There is no doubt have.
Any fawn, for whatever brand you choose you will find your happiness, because all these products are of excellent quality they just do not cover the same ground.

For me, the Roland made me flash, despite its technical limitations.
Later, I intend to invest in a deuxime expander as a Motif or Triton, so
to find a complementarity. The XV-5050 is still an excellent expander
gnraliste for work in the studio.
