The '''Roland XV''' series served as a next step from the [[Roland JV series|Roland JV]] line of synthesizers - it introduces itself with a new expansion format, the SRX card format. The first synthesizers to bear the XV name were the [[Roland XV-3080]] and [[Roland XV-5080]].

The Roland XV series is the successor to the Roland JV line of synthesizers.

One of the more notable additions to the XV series is 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 though, so be wary.

The XV series was introduced alongside a new expansion board format, the SRX series. Some XV series synths still support the older SR-JV80 series boards though.

This section features all of the XV-branded synthesizers released by Roland starting from the XV-5080.
