This is Theodore from Greece. I use an XP-30 with SFX and Vintage cards as a sound source as well as a master keyboard. I also have a Korg X5DR, a Korg Wavestation A/D, a Brother PDC-100 hardware sequencer, Steinberg HALion, Cubase VST/32, Nuendo 1.5-Surround and the Cool Edit Pro audio editor. This setup is well tuned to produce immersive ambient music. New ambient patches for the XP-30 would be usefull. Keep in touch!!

Hi Sergiu, the SFX card is a dream of it's own! If you want to make ambient, atmospheric or expiermental/film music, this is the card to by. No chromatics, just abstract and FX sounds. Completely useless card for orchestral, contemporary music. One tip: turn Local control to OFF, to avoid "phasing" of your sounds.

I currently play a Roland ep-7 and a Roland XP-30. I am in the process of adding a JV-1080 synth module using the ep-7 as a controller. I play keyboards in a Gabriel-era Genesis tribute band called Grand Parade.

1) JV-1010
2) waiting for my used xp-50 to arrive from e-bay.
3) Fatar SL880
4) Casio WK-1800
5) Voyettra's Digital Orchestrator Plus on IBM laptop
6) Midiman Midisport 2 x 2
7) Taylor 310 acoustic guitar
8) Ibanez AW100CE acoustic guitar

I love the Taylor and the 1010!

They make beautiful music together! (well I do i mean, simple stuff but very nice sounds)

Jeff from Boston, here.

I've got an XP-30 and recently got a fantastic deal on a demo XV-3080 that came with the SRX Dynamic Drums card and the Country, Techno, Special FX and Experience 1. Already sold the Special FX, Experience 1, and Country Card (I already have another one with my XP), and am trying to sell the Techno card.

Moved my Country and World cards into the XV-3080. Running Cakewalk Home Studio 9.0.

Most of my music is jazz/blues/country based. I love the Country card! It has excellent banjos, dulcimers and mandolins, a whole bunch of acoustic guitars (ranging from great to middling), and a mess of fiddles, washboards, and other country stuff.

In the past I've owned the Vocal Card (complete waste of money), Experience 1 (total waste), and Special FX (can't think of one good application for it).

Thinking of selling my XP and replacing with a dedicated controller because it's too expensive to own both--the reason I'm holding off is because I love the XP's arpegiattor.

I have a Jv1080 with orchestral card

Hey guys,

I'm new here, but I thought I'd post in this forum. I had been using a Roland MV30 sequencer midi'ed to a home keyboard and using a roland r-70 drum machine for percussion, but I just upgraded a bit (or so, I thought). I just purchased a roland xp50 from ebay about a month or so ago. I've still got the r70 for drums, but I purchased a tascam tmd 1000 as well for mixing purposes. Man the xp50 is taking a lil patience to get into, but I'm sure once I get into it more, it'll be great.

Cool idea for a thread!

I've had my XP80 for 5 years or so. This board gets hardcore daily use!

I also have an MC-303, which acts as a dust magnet more than anything else.

There's also the VS-840GX...which I mostly use to capture vocals.

And this week, and don't give me a hard time here...I'm grabbing a Korg Triton Studio 76!

I'm psyched!!

Hahaha. I'm Llyren and I have an XP-10. In a little while I hope to sell it and get something better; the XP-80 looks to be the best out of several from different manufacturers that I've considered. I'll post again if I do end up buying an XP. (Thanks for staring this, epu!)

I have a XP-80 w/Orch.I /Orch.II / World /60's & 70's Card and a XV-3080 w/Latin /Vocals /Country /Sessions Plus 2 SRX cards SRX-03 Studio Expansion & SRX-04 Symphonique Strings ! I also have the FX /Super Sound Set/JV-80-98 set of cards and love them all ! Some are a little weak , but in general , all useful. I also have a Korg Triton Pro w/Orch. 06 & 07 cards /EMU Planet Earth module/ Alesis QSR module w/5 Cards >Classic Piano/Jazz Piano/Latin/Sanctuary/Classical Instruments Plus/ Korg X3r module/ Korg N264 keyboard and a Korg D1600-V40 to run it all into and burn my own albums ! Simple but effective !
