Can the Roland Xp-80 get internally or by expansion card that super R&B Electric Piano like the one that Babyface Uses (Waiting to Exhale Soundtrack) & like the one Dru Hill uses (Were Not Making Love Anymore)?. The Jv-50 have a similar sound but not the same.
Also, the only reason why I would buy a Korg is because it has phat electric pianos. Do you know if any roland site or expansion cards have phat solid electric pianos?

The 60's & 70's board has more Rhodes and Whurlitzers, and the Pop board has some nice ones too. That "classic" Rhodes sound has always been my favorite, anbd it is due to the effects. You MUST have chorus or tremelo(stereo) or both to get that swirly, funky sound. Phase shifters are great too. The original suitcase Rhodes has a stereo vibrato that was THE sound. You gotta play with the effects to get the sound, cuz the basic samples are all in there. It's just how you apply the effects that make the difference. You must also use a velocity switch to get the hard attack sound - it's different than the soft attack. The Rhodes used to have a gritty, almost distorted attack when you'd SPANK it. Part of it's charm, for sure. There is NOTHING like a REAL Rhodes. It's so fine. I heard a great imitation on a Yamaha Motif the other day, and Triton has always done a great job on EP's too.

Thanks for the reply.
I have a piano, hip hop and a 60's & 70's board, but none of them seems to have anything similar to that sound. The 60's & 70's have some nice soft rhodes but I also would like to get those solid type elp's that korg has without having to buying one.
..by the way you won't happen to have already tweaked a patch that would create that sound? Its all good to work for what you want but, its nothing like having things already done for you....
thankx for your help
