Well, what can I say? After 5 months of waiting, it finally arrived. I must say that I'm not dissapointed at all. My first impression is that the sound are much warmer than any digital synth's I've ever tried. I've just played a bit, not tried to edit anything (it arrived yesterday....). But it seems to me that the effects are the best improvements with this module. I've also tried the SRX piano-board; it's simply the best and most realistic pianosound I've ever heard. Even though it cost a lot... I just ordered it at once. I've for a long time thought that the pianosounds on the market is so good, that they simply not can be any better. I've changed my mind. This board brings the concept of sampled piaons to a new level... Check it out!!! I'm waiting in excitement for new boards.

I've been a JV-2080-owner for two years now,(Any norwegians who wants to buy it....?) the XV-5080 is defently more than an evalution from 2080. 2080 is a great soundmodule, but the XV-5080 simply sound better!!
