The Roland XP-30 is a 61-note keyboard synthesizer released by Roland in 1999, and the last flagship Roland product bearing the Roland JV synthesizer engine. It is similar to previous XP keyboards with many shared front panel functions and the arpeggiator, however it loses the the sequencer (making it not a workstation like other XP keyboards), has less faders and a smaller 2-line 40 character LCD display.
All of the XP-30's sounds come from the JV-2080, as well as including the sounds of the Orchestral, Session and Techno Collection SR-JV80 expansion boards built in.
The XP-30 is also the first Roland synthesizer to feature expandable memory with a SmartMedia card rather than Roland's proprietary RAM/ROM cards. It also uniquely has a Serial MIDI port.[1]
