OVERALL OPINION

It's been three years since I use the machine.
its main qualities: sound quality, user-friendly edition, scalability banks
default: the price lev cards extensions
report quality. satisfactory price

Many sounds, especially in mine since 8 cards extensions JV SR80 sounds are installed. (8 max)
sounds via MIDI editable by lociciel .. but not yet test ..
that a midi output to contrairemnt XV5080, shame .. not have any USB al epoque ..

UTILIZATION

The edition is quite intuitive once memorably that on the pages
is the sound even without the effect of insert, because the patch of four elements composs max
No I have no manual, I have download the XP80, the common section are identical
I n ais not yet understand the effects of assigning coment insert (routing)

SOUNDS

The acoustics are depasss are a little recess, but are the synths, roland has always been strong, there are dailleurs bocoup's used in various productions (such as advertising, music for film, music) of bocoup recognizable sound, as feasible with that module roland (flying Walt and company) have listened j els new model XV5080 usually after he has left very well, as the ghosts, and J and disappointed, there is no longer the research to make beautiful sound, and indulge in some sample, c j is why I prefer to take a former model, there are more amateur than the older models is my opinion .. c

OVERALL OPINION

For the price, I have not hesitated (450 cards with 8 extensions) and I'm all in was satisfied, he very well complete my trinity and my S90 but certain sounds intersect with my mC505 which is normal ..
the category search function is very convenient, new al epoque, and only see 3 aa insert effect instead of a single example on the JV1080

Synth samples based 2U rack.
64 voice polyphony,
of 16 parts multitimbral.
Three effects among 40 algorithms, a chorus, a reverb.
3 pairs of output jacks, including one in symtrique.
Originally there are 400 waveforms and 600 presets.
Up to 2000 waveforms 2500 and presets with 8 cards extentions.
I will only speak of the machine in state of origin, without extension.

UTILIZATION

When I bought the machine, I was not sure what to expect. I wanted a synth gnraliste on which I can edit sounds.
I just galr the first few months time to the organization of mmoriser DIFFERENT parameter. The machine is level with respect to pro paramtrage the end: MIDI Filter gnral and party, party agreement, and the unit is ergonomically trs.
So much so that I do is that the performance mode (multitimbral) mode and never patch.
Only the edition of the effects is difficult but inflexible (unable to string effects on a given part, no modulation effect paramtre by envelope or LFO).
Note also, when a parameter changes rapidly over a large range, it may be dcrochages or pltot gel envelopes and sound effects indsirables impossible to program normally.

SOUNDS

The sounds are, they are sound, trs Varis, sometimes raliste sometimes less.
But the machine is a real synth. It is often more interesting to paufiner rglage the tone of one or two parts that stack up to eat all the available polyphony.
The sound possibilities are vast, this synth I keep in my setup n1.
The sound is dynamic trs, trs end. I AIM to programmatically access certain effects and other artifacts produced by the user interface.
The effects are quite good, breathless, even if it sometimes lacks breadth and paramtres ditables. The saturations are very poor, and have no progressiv between low rate and rate lev. Again it's a shame they can not string two or three effects.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this synth for 4 years now.
As well as a sound bank like any synth that gives me satisfaction.
I am considering adding a micromodular among other things that I will grind out one of the jv (supplmentaire filter, saturation, gating rhythm ...) in MIDI sync in a kind of "sursynthse".
The report qualitprix silent dj excellent, it still is today.
With exprience can be today I will turn to a kurzweil K2K is most empowering, but may be not as ergonomic.

powerful enough for the time big-screen 8-port card srjv .... a poly is just a sequence of effects unassuming but go rather well proportioned set ..........

UTILIZATION

fat big-screen navigation is simple enough (for me) get a patch or a perf is easy effects arise easily honestly I just use the manual .............. ..

SOUNDS

while there are good and bad violins sound good especially srjv session orchestra and brass mm not bad, pianos acoustque ale! this old evil! against the piano by the electric are good ........ love the Synth brief everyone will find a convenience sounds ..........

OVERALL OPINION

I'm buying this device in 97 new and I still use it I mix it with other sources racks, keyboards, it fits no problem, the flat! slightly more than it shows on poly if you work in sequence also more fully integrate the memory when I have 8 cards! Use a bank that's really just a good machine but it n'exite not flawless!
