The Roland XV series is the successor to the Roland JV line of synthesizers. The first synthesizers to bear the XV name were the Roland XV-3080 and Roland XV-5080.
A notable addition to this iteration include being able to define a stereo partial - different input waveforms for the left and right, but passed on along the signal chain (through pitch modulation, amplitude, filtering) as if it were one mono partial. This still uses 2 voices if used, so beware.
The XV series introduced a new expansion board format, the SRX series. Some XV series synths also support the older SR-JV80 series boards.
Notable models
- Roland XV-3080 - features 2 SRX slots, 4 SR-JV80 slots, is missing the JD Multi effect unit, SCSI (sampling) and COSM FX.
- Roland XV-5080 - features 4 SRX slots, 4 SR-JV80 slots, and everything missing from the XV-3080.
- Roland XV-5050 - Half-height version of the XV-5080, with half the polyphony and missing sampling capabilities. Features 2 SRX slots only.
- Roland XV-2020 - 1U tall, half-rack unit (similar to the JV-1010). Features the same EFX as the JV-1080 and has a completely new set of 4 banks exclusive to it. It has 2 SRX slots only.
- Roland XV-88 - Keyboard version of the XV-3080, with only 2 SRX and 2 SR-JV80 slots.
VST Plugins
- Roland XV-5080 (VST Instrument) - VST recreation, based on the INTEGRA-7. Included with the Roland Cloud subscription service.
Unusual models
- Roland Fantom FA76 - Features the XV engine but with half the polyphony and multitimbrality. Features 2 SRX slots and 1 SR-JV80 slot.
