The XP series of keyboards are power-house musical instruments
loaded with excellent features.
The Roland XP-30 is absolutely packed, setting the bar high for other keyboards in it's range.
The XP30 uses sound sets from the popular JV-1080 and JV-2080 modules, plus tons of sound patches from the Session, Orchestral, and Techno Collection expansion boards.
Sporting two slots for SRJV 80 expansion boards, the XP-30 has 61 velocity sensitive keys with aftertouch. A very sweet feature is the built-in, programmable arpeggiator - the same one as found on the XP-60/80 (CleverJoe loves crazy arpeggiators, and Roland makes some of the best!).
Nice set of effects including reverb, chorus, delay - 40 algorithms in total. If you buy the XP-30 new, it even includes a CD-ROM with Emagic SoundDiver sound-editing software.
Features:
- Sound sets from the JV-1080 and JV-2080
- Patches from the Session, Orchestral, and Techno Collection expansion boards
- Two slots for SRJV80 expansion boards
- 61 velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive keys

Okay, I own an XP-80, but how do I turn this thing on? (When candlelight and romantic music
doesn't help...)
