The '''Roland XV-2020''' is a half-width, 1 unit tall [[Roland XV series\|XV series]] sound module. The XV-2020 is more or less the [[Roland JV-1010\|JV-1010]]'s XV equivalent, with the same small size and limited set of panel controls (this time in silver instead of black). However, the XV-2020 is more cut down versus other synths in its series than the JV-1010 was. For example, the XV-2020 is not fully compatible with synth patches made for other XV synths, since it is missing several effects. It is also limited to only one MFX unit rather than three, and it has half the polyphony (similar to the [[Roland XV-5050]]).
