PCM Heaven
Classic Roland rack synth in a plug-in for your DAW

Released in 1994 and packed with iconic strings, evocative ethnic instruments, retro stabs, and many more sounds, the JV-1080 is both a ‘90s icon and a powerful contemporary synthesizer.

The New Digital

By the early ‘90s, digital synthesizers had completely taken over the market, and rack units had become popular in studios and on stages alike. Thanks to advancements in digital technology, Roland began to pack a seemingly impossible amount of sounds into a single unit. And by utilizing optional PCM sound cards, users could expand their units with specialized sound sets.

The Sound of the ‘90s

Throughout the ‘90s, the JV-1080 helped fuel the sounds of R&B, pop, hip hop, and rock, and was regularly heard in film and TV scores. Originally designed to mimic acoustic instruments, many of these sounds became so widespread they’re now part of our collective musical vocabulary. Some say it’s the most recorded sound module in history, and modern artists are still using these sounds in new and creative ways.

The ultimate hit-making sound module, now available as a DAW plug-in

The patriarch of PCM synths, the XV-5080 is brimming with just about every instrument sound imaginable. With a huge selection of onboard effects and over 900 carefully crafted presets, producing with the XV-5080 plug-in is even more fast and fluid than the original hardware version, no matter the genre or style.

The Ultimate Roland Sound Module

The Roland XV-5080 stepped onto the scene in 2000, leaving a mighty footprint. Described for years as “Roland’s ultimate sound module,” the XV-5080 boasted immense PCM-based multitimbral synthesis power, sophisticated modulation, an array of pro-quality DSP effects, and compatibility with the popular SRX Expansion Board series.

One PCM Synth to Rule Them All

Building on the successes of the JV-1080 and JV-2080, the XV-5080’s fidelity and technological adaptability were unmatched at the time. Musicians and producers increasingly turned to the XV-5080 in place of slower and less convenient samplers. It was embraced heavily by composers and producers spanning a wide range of genres, making the rackmount XV-5080 an undisputed hit.

Owning a hardware XV-5080, it’s a shame Roland doesn’t create these to also act as controllers for the hardware.

 

 

Maybe this is the year I finally release something 🙂
