The Roland VE (Voice Expansion) series is a line of expansion boards designed for certain Roland JV series keyboard synths and certain Roland A series MIDI controller keyboards. Unlike most other expansion board products from Roland, these boards contain an entire tone generator (synth module) on a card, thus providing enhanced capabilities and more polyphony to the devices they are installed in, not just additional patches or samples.
