Best value: Excellent
64 voice polyphony, 2 extension slot (64MB) so bcp sound, output and otic coxiale 24bit / 44.1 khz, waveform format 16 bit linear sound very different

UTILIZATION

Not easy at first, they get tired quickly, but over time we appreciate better the quality of the product

SOUNDS

Prof. Price, c top, big sound and classic, everything is there, what is the pr kit batteries and brass, nothing beats the samples aiff and wav, pr me expanders does not get a better result than the personal imagination, by combining multiple stamps snare or bass drum in sample already mastered, except if you're a millionaire.
The brass, if you want, and many are taking real musicians, and yes also pushed technology as it can be no substitute for guts of musicians no longer with his only 1 instrument
very strong orchestral ensembles.
In any case an expander should complement the music already busy in real instruments, except if doing vs the trance and more ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months coupled with a pattern-rack, there is no point to say, one tears the other, c not the same thing, they complement each other well, the ground-rack rather complicated has the advantage to have expansion cards with different synthesis engine, analog, dx, vl, which provides sound with timbres and expressions really varied, but the xv-5050 with its original sounds offers a wide sound range and quality, Roland true to its reputation, excellent value / price (990 €), I probably do it again but the same choice by supplementing with a MOTIF or Triton
