IS A ROLAND XV 88 A CHEAP JUPITER 8 DEEP DIVE

When I look at a Roland XV-88, I can't help but feel, it's one of the best older keyboards for the price. 128 voices, multiple onboard effects, sampled sounds, plus a synth engine with multiple resonant filters and so much more... It's not without its faults. The real hammer-weighted action is my favorite, but the hammer-weights degrade over 15 -20 years and have to be replaced. regardless, it's all metal construction, other than the under-carriage and it sounds great used for any era of music. 0:00 Intro 1:50 How good of a synthesizer is an XV-88 2:51 XV-88 advantages over a Jupiter-8 3:34 XV-88 voice architecture 4:42 Patch architecture (5 elements) 5:18 Patch elements 1 & 2 (Oscillators) 9:01 Patch element 3 (Filters) 13:17 Patch element 4 (Amplifiers) 16:37 Patch element 5 (LFOs) 18:51 Playing and editing sounds from my PC 20:10 Setting up the editor software 22.34 Main screen patch selection, loading, and saving 25:18 Effects toggles 26:21 Tone selection, control, and editing 28:55 Structure algorithms 30:46 Velocity, and key ranges (splits and layers) 33:14 Matrix control targets/destinations (modulating parameters) 34:21 Control switch for controllers (Very cool) 35:51 Patch scale tune - Alternate tunings 37:44 System and common settings 40:51 Wave Generator (aka by us as oscillator) and detailed mode 42:57 LFO editing and detailed mode 50:32 Filer editing and detailed mode 54:51 Amplifier editing and detailed mode 55:44 All the windows with parameters 56:55 Summing it, experience, prices, etc. 1:00:40 Closing remarks
