The '''Roland XV-3080''' is a 128-voice, 16-part synthesizer in the [[XV series]], released in mid 2000. It is one of the first XV synth ever released, intended as a successor to the popular [[JV-1080]], featuring an upgraded set of MFX, a higher voice polyphony, upgraded engine and the introduction of the new [[SRX]] expansion technology.

It features the original [[JV-2080]] banks of patches and performances (PR-A to PR-C, with the JV-2080's PR-E being renamed to PR-D), adding two new banks of sounds to showcase the XV-3080's features.

It is, in addition, also notable for omitting many of the features that made the [[XV-5080]] popular - you don't get its sampler, 16 extra parts, digital outputs or any of the COSM technology, but you do get an upgraded MFX engine that features 23 more effects for a total of 63. The lack of features on the XV-3080 ended up being a point of criticism in some reviews, particularly with Sound on Sound's June 2000 issue, writers Derek Johnson & Debbie Poyser have been quick to mention that it isn't the upgrade to the JV-1080 that it could've been.<ref>[https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/roland-xv3080 Derek Johnson & Debbie Poyser via Sound on Sound, June 2000 issue - "Roland XV3080"]</ref>
