Hi !

I am falling in love with the sounds of the XP50, but (again) what are the differences between all these XP ?
And with the JV ?

'cause I have read (or tried) that :

For the JV90 : Dźwięki były podstawą do stworzenia JV-1080, JV-2080 i XP-80. Wspaniałe potężne barwy. Dodatkowo ukazała się masa kart rozszerzeń SR-JV80
For the XP80 : Podobnie jak w JV-90 można użyć kart SR-JV80 z dodatkowymi barwami.

I don't understand all, but I read that they seem to have the same sounds
So, my question would be : why are there not the demos of the JV90 page on the XP80 page ?

Thanks

JV and XP reads the same expansion cards, which JMJ used in most cases

[Nico_Noyau]

But is it better to own a XP80 or a JV90 ?

I forgot to place em there The demos from XP will be there really soon Anyway... I remember that there was a sound JV TERMINATE - where was it used?

XP-80 - more possibilities

They use same expansions Anyway if You don't have money and wanna own one of them buy... JV2080 orsth Awesome sounds, 8 slots for exp etc

Thanks for your answer !

Will the demos of the XP be the same as the JV ?
Maybe if you give us a demo of this sound, we can help ya

Do you own a JV/XP ?

Here, in France, the JV2080 is more expensive than the XP80

[GeeJee]

It's the same samples, but you have more editing options. That's the main difference between JV and XP. I think some XP keyboards have a sequencer as well

[Nico_Noyau]

I have more edition options on the JV2080 ? JV90 ? XP80 ?
But I think I'll go for a XP80 when I get richer

But I still don't understand why JMJ has both the JV90 and the XP80

[radek tymecki]

XP80 has bigger memory, more editing options, waveforms so... some XP80's sounds won't work with JV90's

btw JV90 was releassed in 1994 - it has really great keyboard - you can use it as masterkeyb. XP80 was released in 96... dunnow why JMJ is "using" both

[Nico_Noyau]

Well, thanks a lot for all these explanations, Mr Radek !

[radek tymecki]

No problemo MR. Savage

[Nico_Noyau]

When will ya take more demos or these synths and more demos of other synths ?

[radek tymecki]

Which ones ??

[Nico_Noyau]

Karma, microkorg, Raven, NordLeads

[E-vert]

I have a Roland XP50. If you want some samples I can give you what you want.

[Nico_Noyau]

How is it ?
Did you try a JV90 or XP80 ?
How many cards can you add ?
How many sounds do you have ?

Thanks and sorry for all those questions
