Well, I've actually had a bit of success with getting the leading edge off the individual hits in my rolls. I've spent about 10 hours working on trying to get some of the messages listed in the M-BD1's manual to work, and finally have gotten pretty close by adjusting a parameter called "TVF&TVA Envelope Attack Time". It works nicely for the roll on the hi tom and on the low tom... seems more like a toggle for the mids, though, which is irking me. I'm going to put a sample of pre- and post-tweaking on my site in a bit, if anyone's interested in hearing it. (That's http://www.speedlimit35.com/mbd1rolls.mp3, in case that link doesn't work.)

I've been trying to find a good editor program to use with the M-BD1, without much success... I've tried SounDiver, but I'm shooting in the dark with that, and everything else seems to put the smack down on my W2k box (sudden reboots... wierd). Anyone got any suggestions, or am I gonna have to write my own bloody editor? (Well, I have been looking for a good project to learn java on...)

As soon as I scrape the bucks together, I'm definitely planning on going crazy and picking up a full VPro kit... that thing is suhweet! No, I don't really play drums (I think my IQ's too high ), but I'm pretty sure that with that kit, my sequencer for tweaking, and a set of real cymbals, I'll never have to worry about the sound or realism of my drums again.

Hi my name is David. I have an XV-88 with the SRX-02 piano expansion card, the Experience II and the Super Sound Set. I am hoping that Roland will relaes an SRX Orchestral card at NAMM. Any new rumors? I am also looking to trade sounds with other people. Has anyone developed any improvements on the SRX piano card? Thanks.

I own a XP-30

I just discovered this forum. Let the discussion begin.

Folks:
In an earlier post I cast aspersions on a Yamaha amp emulator, the DGStomp, which quit on me. Turns out I'd run over the power cord with my office chair wheel - when I returned it, the music store found the cord in two pieces when they took it out of the box. A little solder and shrink-wrap, and it's good as new.

I invite your cat-calls...

Heya, I use a JV-1010. I also have tons of other material not related to this forum, and am quite a power user for all sorts of music/computer tech.

Hi,

Just became a brand new Roland owner. Got the XV-88 yesterday, and been happily sleepless playing with the new toy.

I do have a question though: someone gave me a Roland CA-30 arranger, but I've never used one before. Can I even use this with the XV-88 (or would I be unwittingly performing some act of desecration by doing so)? If the CA-30 is of any use to me, could someone out there please help me out?

Thanks, and glad to see this board! I think I'll probably be needing a lot of help for a while ....
