Roland Anounces New Wave Expansion Boards
January 28, 1999Expanding the acclaimed Roland SR-JV80-Series
expansion board library even further, Roland is proud to introduce the SR-JV80-15
Special FX Collection and SR-JV80-16 Orchestral II Collection. These boards
can be user-installed into any expandable XP- or JV-Series instrument, including
the affordable new XP-30 synthesizer and compact JV-1010 synth module.
The SR-JV80-15 Special FX Collection offers a huge array of unique sounds,
many derived from the popular Spectrasonics' Distorted Reality CD-ROM. Included
are synth-type effects, ambient sounds, noise and rhythmic hits, environmental
and nature sounds, and more. Especially remarkable is the broad collection of
machines, city and construction noises, rivers, oceans, birds, insects and other
natural audio bytes-perfect for spicing up soundtracks, as well as ambitious
dance music applications.
The SR-JV80-16 Orchestral II Collection is well suited for pop-oriented orchestral
music, film, television and jingle composers with its stunning new orchestral
and Celtic Patches. Orchestral samples range from stereo strings, brass, wind
instruments and percussion to ancillary sounds such as breath noise. Celtic
instruments-increasingly found in contemporary film and television scores-include
bosouki, uillean pipe, bodhran and clarsah harp.
Each collection encompasses more than 200 Patches, comprised of at least 100
waveforms on the SR-JV80-15 and more than 140 on the SR-JV80-16. Both wave expansion
boards can be easily user-installed into any expandable XP- or JV-Series instrument,
adding a wealth of sounds in just a few minutes. For more information, visit Roland on the web at www.rolandus.com
