hey there on the other side of the atlantic ocean!
i got the opportunity of purchasing a jv 80 and a xp 10.
i know now that the xp10 includes a keyboard.
does the jv 80 also include that?
i cannot find anything about the jv80. is is similar to jv 1000something?
are there sounds available without any extra-cards with the jv80?

i am absolutely new to the midi-thing and there is so much information.
i want to use a synthesizer with my fatar masterkeyboard.

can anyone recommend those above mentioned types?
anything to think about before i purchase one of them?

thank you a lot and a great weekend!

all the love
aurelia

Heh heh; how do you know?

i just supposed so...
is it not the case? :-)))))

thank you a lot for the info.
will check that out now.

love, aurelia

I'd go for the JV80 even though its older. The XP10 has nothing in common with the JV/XP series synths and isn't expandable - its more like a Roland SoundCanvas with a keyboard (basically, a piece of junk). With the JV80, you can make use of the extensive SR-JV series expansion boards out there
