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.

Revision as of 09:45, 17 August 2026

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, but earlier XV synths also support the older SR-JV80 series boards.

Also other models of note;

  • Roland Fantom FA76 - Features the XV engine but with half the polyphony and multitimbrality. It features 2 SRX slots and 1 SR-JV80 slot.
