The '''Roland XV''' series is the successor to the [[Roland JV series|Roland JV]] line of synthesizers. 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 series|Roland JV]] line of synthesizers.


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 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.
