This is the rack version of the Roland XP-50 and XP-80. He Submitted 2U rack. In its basic version, the three banks of patches possde factory, a bank of patches and a GM bank of patches for the user, in which he can save his rglages. And each bank contains 128 patches. In fact, this synth sound banks possde 2, 1 255 and 1 193 sounds which can be combined no matter how little or much it has paramtres ditables, into patches and we can agrmenter with 1 of 40 effects (excluding rverbe, chorus, LFO and pitch effects indpendants you can add more).
Connections:
<ul>
1 set of MIDI
MIX 1 output (Stereo main output)
2 output pairs indpendantes
1 headphone facade.
</ul>
Extensions possible:
<ul>
4 slots for internal cards SRJV80 sounds (there are two dozen, bringing together the sounds THEME - THEME one style or sound card)
1 card slot sounds SO-PCM1 (L too, a sound card in style - but there are newer)
A memory card slot or M256D M512E (respectively 256 and 512 MB) in which the user can store its data.
</ul>
In its basic version, style prdomine in rock, pop and synths.
UTILIZATION
Ouh l l is a complex machine. Good. In fact, this machine cre sound. No. We must select the audio samples (a minimum 1 - maximum four sounds, as has sound indpendants gnrateurs 4) dj store messages and nicknames factory in two banks of sounds contienent prs of 450 samples in total (in its basic version without any extension card, so). Then you can combine rgler and "effective" these four sources, and rglages are here for and against many trs - you get lost a little. All patches, including patches GM, are in fact games rglages factory-made by the user (the set of patches "User") amending the original appearance of the waveforms 4 gnrateurs that produce sound. All these can rglages allows for cooking of good food and your exact: it is the sound of high quality ^_______^ is a real research lab, with all these rglages possible.
It is even possible to configure the fawn that behaves like indpendants 16 JV-1080 with 16 MIDI keyboard (then 16 musicians!) Branches for each MIDI channel so r tings SPECIFICATIONS (I understand) is DEADLY! But Obviously, we lose of polyphony, since it is necessary to share in this example 16 ... And again, not rgler effects for each indpendament JV1080 indpendants ... To counter these problems, it is even possible to "string" in many MIDI JV-1080 in order to gain polyphony.
But against, no Intgr arranger. Bein yes, it is only afterwards that I learned that in fact, versions of rack synths rarely contain an arranger Intgr these are just the expanders. Therefore an external power squenceur CRER dea Arrangement. But hey, a hand, this device is so gnial that I still retain ^ ^ Everything must be controlled by the MIDI or by one or more keyboards matre either by external squenceur (PC) or both at the same time.
SOUNDS
Sounds are gniaux ultra, ultra-rich and hard! Apart from a few piano sounds or bass. In fact, the reproduction of instruments is not really his forte. His specially is to CRER sounds really original evocative sounds from prexistants. Well, it's a Roland (that is - say a little felt as a whole) but want the road.
In fact, with no synths and many more "mdiamaticien" a musician and having only the stuff that saves, I thought it would be very few devices that I happen to me sound: a can always be useful! ^ ^
In this context, I intend to show him a card SRJV80 FX-15 Collection (Crazy) and possibly a SRJV80-10 Bass and Drums.
In addition, the default is not large contain basic version 2 drum kits, it is really limited ...
OVERALL OPINION
I have a few months (January 2005), this is my first synth hardware, I bought it second-hand and, although they have no expander Intgr (j 'But would have liked because he hast a home, the place is limited to keyboards), I'm happy with my purchase. I bought used on eBay France almost 1.5 times more expensive than on eBay Germany and I do not regret it: at least I have a manual in French - as the German, I understand that there ^_______^ slab and I promise you that the instructions I t really necessary with all these rglages.
To beginners, I used it with a keyboard matre Edirol PCR-50. But as I slap it in my hands (not good quality), we have to find me something else like matre keyboard and waiting (for I do not know what to take place), I pilot my Technics SX-KN2600 ^ ^
Assets:
<ul>
All these can rglages, Mamamia ...
4 gnrateurs sound
2 output pairs spares in addition to the main Stereo output
When you press the volume button is selected entand sound with all its rglages: bte not, in practice tests and check-sounds ^_______^
The standard 4 slots SRJV80
Supports the standard GM
</ul>
Cons:
<ul>
When changing it to finish before its to reproduce, it is cut ... It was not until the silence of the unit before changing patch, too bad.
A bit complex: I did not understand everything
No Intgr arranger. But this seems to be normal ...
Memory cards for backups give (very certainly tchnologie flash) Roland homeowners (this is not a CompactFlash ^ ^) and capacity limits (512 KB max)
The expansion cards are SRJV80 Chres hard to find new and secondhand ... :-(((
In basic configuration (that is - ie without expansion cards), the choice of sounds are limited and, most importantly, only two drum kits ... It Dirat that Roland do everything to make the purchase of their cards SRJV80 essential.
