Hi OldSchool,
You jest!! You have 76 posts as of this posting.
Boo!! Hoo!! I still have an ole PSR-510 in which I just replaced all switch strips for the keys. I've had the keyboard 5 or 6 yrs. I've had to replace them twice. There's some great equipment out there. Maybe one day I can afford to update.
Take Care, PS: I hope you a grown member
soon!!

Greetings.

I have an XP-80 with the Session and Latin Boards. I will get either the Orchestral 1 or 2 next. I'm leaning towards #2. One more thing, is it me, or is nobody excited about the House Expansion Board? Does anyone know when it is going to be released? Is ANYONE looking forward to it??? Anyone?

Gee...look! I'm now a "Member!" I'm just bustin' with pride! Only a few more postings and I'll be "Master of the Universe!"

Vacations (17 days over Christmas, MLKJr. 3-day weekend) have made me a little more active than usual around here, though I only recently discovered this forum anyway.

I'm looking forward to the House expansion boar very much since I didn't own either #6 or #11 board (I own 3080 and personly I think #11 is kinda redundant to my 3080...) . Rumor said the House expansion board should have released LAST November though....Still waiting... Will it show up in Winter NAMM these days?

Owned a JV-1010 + Bass&Drums card for just 2 weeks and I'm still impressed!

Easy to use (with a PC), and I've already started programming a few patch improvements (surely they're not serious with that tambourine waveform that sounds like a jingle bell Father Christmas dropped?).

I like the pianos on the inbuilt Session card, and the bass & drums on the Bass&Drums card are terrfific!

Just be warned though - the drums on this card only have bass drum, snare, toms, cymbals & high-hat - anything else you'll need to find elsewhere.

I'm a guitarist (real picky about guiitar sound) and have never heard anything that comes remotely close to sounding like a real guitar, and this synth is no different, but some are as good as I've heard anywhere. Doesn't matter - I'll be using real guitars in my recordings.

My sequences have immediately taken a lift from the old Korg X5DR module. Thousands of patches on the web - I've already built up a good library of the basic sounds I need (mostly brass, B3 organs, piano, strings, pads, bass & drums).

Rock on,

my roland equipment:
a new XV 5080, XP80 loaded with orchestral, session, vintage and vocal board.
JV 1080 with pop board, keyboards of the 60's & 70's and world expansion boards.
other roland synth and stuffs: D70, D50,
Juno 106, SR50, KC 500, sustain pedals and XL
roland T-shirt.

those that have recently bought the xv-88, what style of music do you use the synth to play ? and how much did you buy it for? I am looking into the xv-88.

I'm "ExP60". Also a Roland XP60, with Bass & Drums, Vintage Synths,Techno, and HipHop cards. I also have a Keyboards of the 60's and 70's not installed. Any hints? (Only 4 expansion slots.) Is there a BB for XP60 and XP80 users only?

Well... I guess you could get the JV-1010 and put it in there. That's a bit pricey though (not for a module, but for an expansion board space) but if you really need all 5 at once then...................

Oooooh I forgot somebody..... Alfax, I use the XV-88 for Praise and Worship stuff, soft rock kinda stuff, and classical piano. Eventually I'll be using it for midi sequencing, but not right now. It really has a broad scope of sounds so don't let my boring old stuff discourage you..... In my opinion it is the best for the kind of stuff I use it for though. I don't really know if it can compete with Triton for the electronic market (it has NO sequencer or sampler) But it certainly is capable of just about anything..... I got mine for $2150. www.Music123.com and www.BPMmusic.com have low prices right now... just about anyone will match their prices. Try www.musiciansfriend.com Any specific questions???
