Alkyos
Published on 11/05/06 at 01:14
1200 sounds about editable on the machine (not practical) or via a computer (Mac or PC) via USB.
Output Coax, Optical, 4 X 6.35 Jack and stereo headphones.
2 Slots for optional cards Roland sounds (SRX).
The XV is packed with history from the Roland D50, through the series of Rack JV to Phantom.
UTILIZATION
A synth of this generation with the ease of use is a treat.
The software available with this machine is very comprehensive, it runs fine on my PC.
The doc is thick but easy to understand.
SOUNDS
All styles of sounds are in this machine.
For fans Roland you will find all the series 1080, 2080, 3080 inside.
It includes all the sounds of his big brother 5080 that's still much more expensive.
I write for results of an artist, I remix of electro, I compose, I play R & B to pop, I do not short the XV never dropped on any style.
64 voice polyphony allow fans of the old system of having Midi on stage or in the toughest in the home studio 16 CHANNELS out without flinching.
I am super fan of piano sounds, Rodhe, Organ, Bass, Violin, and ground or analog synths 70's & 80's, a very wide range of each is proposed.
Quality sampling is bleuffante, latency does not exist.
The built-in effects are really great realistic for use on stage this small rack is a wonder, when the home studio is the logic of its existence.
OVERALL OPINION
I use the XV for a year now.
I can not fault it, we must say that I am not a handy summary that I made only with sounds from the factory to avoid losing time. These sounds are realistic and nikel, I am more than served.
I had a JV 1080 and a Korg Triton LE before the JV was light as the number of sounds, the Triton was too trendy, each one cuts out his recall on the radio.
In the fifteenth value for money is outstanding, I bought occcaz to € 450 to someone on AudioFanzine and for that price it's downright unbeatable.
If it again I would do it 100 times!
It was on that for those who enjoy fiddling sounds, spending hours mixing a sample with the synthesis, the XV will not be for you, The Phantom XR will be more suitable but ho how much more expensive.
For those looking for a simple machine, light and complete, the XV offers much more than that, the whole history Roland is summarized in this little device.
Being an addict since the Roland D50, and after listening to the range extent of the XV, I wonder what they will get out then, because for me it is close to perfection with the XV.
