All user reviews of 2/5 for the Roland XP-50

October 5
Wheel pitch / mod joystick roland koi
lack of separate output connectors otherwise ok
Edit Program / perf off but display nase: visual notes gymnastics
effect bof bof
polyphony 64: 64 false attention! (Depends on the prog patches) often "flight paths" found in multi '
no utils PC time

UTILIZATION

config and editing sounds ok, but long and tedious, the LCD is rotten it is clear.
Manual OK nothing wrong ..

SOUNDS

-That is hurting the bottom: full of sounds, some stamped Juno, Jupiter, TR, Rhodes, mellotron ect ..
(Mine was on board the 4 cards Srjv: Vintage drum & bass, tekno, hiphop)
and yet has a few electro keyboards are a few pads and FX are frankly ... nothing!
the drumkits anecdotal (even on the chart drum & bass) sounds the same TR808 & 909 on the map tekno (and hiphop) are miserable! g is a comparison at the time in
loading a S3000XL with samples of original TR: nothing to see, all rotten!
use in multi fate molasses and inform "plastic" plus the lack of separate output
and block of 3 for multi FX: classic reverb / chorus an insert for 16 games!
-Effects are no more correct
velocity to the average super klita keyboard, joystick Special: must love,
So the lousy quality of the keyboard!
probably my worst memory is that this keyboard at night, playing with headphones covering my sometimes listens on a semi-open AKG K240!
Briefly, quality really "'plastok" foutage of mouth!
except if the cursor left (volume/C1 and C2) that are relatively easy to spit (finish Taiwanese say) the finish of the shell is correct, JP8000 close enough at the time eg.
important point (another bad memory!) Beware of the filter, the FC tend to return to aggressive distortion! frequent outbursts and unpleasant when playing and editing of the patches and may even be destructive on HP quality average.
this could indicate an interesting feature of the engine noise, but go your way, nothing in the music, just a medical perspective ...! (Laughs)

OVERALL OPINION

- I sold it without any remorse or nostalgia about a year after its Acquisition (sold cheap by a friend almost new with 2 cards in it).
- 1 or 2 synths (romplers) before it
- Value for money: bof! library can use to make some sounds or beats here and there in a component but unlike some reviews,
absolutely forget the multi unless you want to sound "pout-squeaker-tagada"
- For me today JV1080 (rack version of the XP50 / 80)! I do not want dutout this kind of machine at 10,000 sounds almost useless, short for me "hoax".
Me finally it does not suit me, we do a lot better with ordinary VSTi now ..
