  ipm's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " A SLAP ENORMMMMMME"

  Overall Opinion

  express opinion:
  
  
  
  few months and many hours on it ... I went through a lot of stuff (digital and analog) samplers of romplers, the VA ...
  
  
  
  (I bought a JV for the card in and orchestral card were in by the previous owner) to complete my stock of 6 cards already present in my JV2080 ...
  
  
  
  first fast enough Password: patches sounding unusual way in my JV2080 to the point that I wonder if it is the same machine, or if I did not push the output level a bit much ...
  
  
  
  the first patches, scans are intoxicating, it breathes, vibrates ca, ca serious scans the stereo image is huge, some fairly successful leads, but mostly low "fit inside" end tell me that reputation is well deserved and earned view well above my expectations.
  
  
  
  
  
  BUT, a few long minutes later, I started a small sequence to drool a bit this card in performance mode and everything collapses ... big disappointment, even very big disappointment
  
  
  
  So I understand that to use it (just like the orchestral elsewhere) have a specific need to host it herself.
  
  
  
  So, I come a JV1080 (we throw in the trash right now ... there are crazy people) and I dedicate this SR JV 04 ...
  
  
  
  I raise my sequence and $% § ca ... ain hard again, quite nasty. I even found a B3 sound that rivals far north with my electro 3! that is to say ...
  
  
  
  there are, however, caveats: 1 - read elsewhere, attacks in my JV1080 dedicated filter is not perfect, not really soft, but he takes his time, ca limit the use of some patches.
  
  
  
  Finally, if this card is ringing in patch mode, it mostly means that the Roland engineers are also well optimized effects ... which expanded the sound, but ultimately, the original is not quite the.
  
  
  
  
  
  In conclusion: an extraordinary map literally. may be not exactly the exact replica of what is expected, but a great creative power, it seems necessary to use it in patch mode and a dedicated synth.
  
  
  
  255 patches a few repetitions still with some cards, but approx. 170 helpful. a must, but for those who can afford

  EXER's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " This card has a limited interest today."

  Overall Opinion

  The big problem with this card is that it only contains waveforms.
  
  
  
  Let me explain what makes the character of a synthesizer (vintage or not), it is not only its oscillators, but before any filter.
  
  
  
  However, if the card SR-JV80-04 has the waveform synthesizers "classic" course patches can be programmed by exploiting the filter JD or JV / XP in which it is inserted, giving them the sonic character of a JD or JV / XP, and not the character of a Moog, an Arp or a Jupiter 8.
  
  
  
  Warning: I did not say that the sound is bad (on the contrary, Roland programmers have done a good job, the sounds are hot, especially with a JD-990), but they are typed "JD" or "JV", and it is illusory to recreate the sounds of vintage "classic" with this card.

  petitsynthe's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " "LA" SRJV to have!"

  Overall Opinion

  I bought after having been there for a long time on a jv-1080.
  
  
  
  But as I also recently bought XP-50, partly out of nostalgia and because it nétait cheap, I wanted to add a map SRJV: the choice was quickly made: the vintage synth!
  
  
  
  For me, in 2012, at banks and gigantic free, this is the only card in the series worthwhile SRJV stroke, despite high prices secondhand (2 times more expensive than other SRJV, there is a reason)
  
  
  
  Why?
  
  
  
  Because this is the grain counts (Roland synths 1994-1996, not sure that we can imitate them with virtual ...).
  
  the main interest being in their old machines synth sounds, sounds of acoustic imitation is long outdated (see other SRJV).
  
  
  
  The sounds are the most useful for me pads "Jupiter 8" (nothing to do with the true but it is not serious, they are superb), imitation mellotron, strings machines (Solina) and some good punchy bass, other sounds rather be customize according to your tastes.
  
  
  
  Moreover, the value of this card is to build its own patch, which is necessarily less interesting to other SRJV that mimic the acoustics.
  
  
  
  This ezt therefore almost the only card that grows SRJV edit waveforms to create your own patches.
  
  
  
  Of course, some patches are useless now (at the time no Virtual Analogs) but nothing for those that I mentioned ...
  
  
  
  It seems that this card sounds better on the JD-990: it is possible by the different converters but it is still excellent for the JV series.
  
  
  
  You can listen some patches here: http://www.synthmania.com/sr-jv80-04.htm, but it is relative comments on the site because they date!
  
  
  
  All waveforms are the four SRJV available on the SRX 7 (which contains four waveforms which SRJV 4), but not all patches: http://www.rolandus.com/flash / demos / srx / srx_demo.html
  
  
  
  If you like synth sounds that you like "hack" and you are looking for a map SRJV take it (but you guessed it!).
  
  
  
  NB: if you buy the last Integra-7 Roland, you have all the sounds CArDS SRJV (and much more), but it will not be the same price (or the same grain?).

  OdysseyV's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Expansion card Roland syntetiseur"

  Overall Opinion

  J used this product for many années.Suis unable to say how much I had gained.
  
  
  
  Sounds are used mainly multiples.j Rhodes.
  
  
  
  My favorite cards are the orchestra and the sounds are very Fx group practice.
  
  
  
  The failure of these cards are their weakness of échantillonnement that can not be used for recording. J used a sampler akai 6000.
  
  
  
  The advantage of this type of card is its ease of use. Xp on my 80 I put up a list of preset sounds or I select that I used the most.
  
  
  
  For each type of claverais you there its expansion card, so it is difficult to give general advice, depending on the style of music played.

  Tino MJ's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " EXCELLENT!!"

  Overall Opinion

  I use it in my Roland XV 3080 Rack ...
  
  
  
  Excellent and complementary of my 2 SRX ... Ultimate Keys and SRX98 ...
  
  
  
  Frankly I had a lot of vintage analog, such Promars, and I own all of Roland MKS (30,50,70 & 80) + Juno 106 ... well this map reproduced to perfection the sounds of his vintage synthesizers Rolands ...
  
  It's worth!
  
  Thank you Roland!
  
  
  
  Sometimes instead of buying more machines, better make extensions for its synthesizers!
  
  
  
  And then Solina!! I have tried is the true realism is bluffing!

  papi1970's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " This is THE card!"

  Overall Opinion

  This card team both my JD990, we get some great sounds, detailed, powerful, alive. It is not intended to replace the legendary synths, it gives an extra character at JD990, and one remains in the sounds specific to JD, who is an excellent digital synthesizer!
  
  Recommend without reservation.

  Seith's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  just a lil rant is crazy the number of con ... we just read af all the forums say that this card is made for the jd-990 wrong here ... .. on my xv-5080 is not it sounds much better picture of the effects being much better on the rack, the jd sounds very good but the fifteenth is much more precise and clear map of the presets are automatically managed while on the jd is the sea ... you have to load the patches in 4 games and not even the bank more time to use the jd is very good so I want to do without then hop on the fifteenth in performance mode the mixing of Roma and provides srjv sounds sick ...

  tuchap's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Excellent vintage synth card."

  Overall Opinion

  This map is an essential complement (for me the JV-1080) for those who love the sounds of keyboards (synth and Mellotron) "vintage", especially if you're in the rock called "progressive" and we seek the sounds 70s .
  
  
  
  It contains the essential: Moog (lead, taurus ...), Prophet, Oberheim, Arp, Mellotron and so on and of course lots of keyboards Roland (Jupiter, Juno, Dxx, MKS, SH1000 ...).
  
  
  
  Some sounds are absolutely beautiful: Oberheim pads, string Roland Jupiter (No. 97 and 98, the splendors ...), Taurus bass, mellotron (especially Tron Choir, however, rework), leads Moog. Using them continuously I for my part.
  
  
  
  Note however that some sounds have much effect. You can always tweak them and it's not bad in some cases.
  
  
  
  It is imperative to listen to examples Synthmania:
  
  
  
  http://www.synthmania.com/sr-jv80-04.htm
  
  
  
  A must-have as they say!
  
  
  
  NB: there are only synth (plus Mellotron) on this card, if you want electromechanical keyboards or organs vintage (Fender, Wurly, Hammond, Farfisa ...) you must go see the map "Vintages Keys, as well.

  Djanik's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  As a practical map given the relatively ct gnraliste instruments on which it operates.
  
  Sounds breathtaking synths, whether Moog bass, and deep water tables, brass typical (prophet, etc.) and effects spciaux.
  
  Only problem: No sound of drums / beats bote. so it's not exactly quivalant the rack version.
