Has anyone done a comparison between the RD700 and the XV88? Also can anyone explain what Roland means by "64mb equivalent"? Thanks in advance for your insight.

Hi,

The main difference will be that the RD-700 is based on an RD expanded-Piano engine while the XV-88 is based on an XV engine.

Roland uses waveform compression to get more samples into their ROM. So, in 16-bit linear equivalent, they provide you with xxMB of samples.
In other words, at a compression of 2:1, a 32MB ROM can hold 64MB of waveforms.

Would the sounds from the SRV card sound as good as it would on the XV88?
