If you press System > Info (tab), it should be displayed there. If it isn't, then your XV-5080's level is <1.20, in which case you definitely ought to upgrade.

Hi Arjan,

It sounds like your XV-5080 might be running an older system OS. Try upgrading to the latest:

Obinno, can you please send me an e-mail. I have a few questions regarding the INS file.

My e-mail address is my username at gmail.com.

Hi Obinno,

I'll have the INS ready for you in just a few days.

<r>This doesn't seem to be listed on the Roland US website any longer (that I could find), but it looks like it can still be found elsewhere:<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://www.roland.it/dow_drivers/for_win/serial32_wxp2k.exe"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.roland.it/dow_drivers/for_wi ... _wxp2k.exe">htt...

Henry VIII is a favorite of mine as well. I've never heard how it sounds on the Fantom (X), however.

How does it compare to the XV-5080?

<t>I think you're safe in having the SR-JV80-06 and SR-JV80-15, at least.<br/> <br/> To my knowledge, none of the waveforms from SR-JV80-06 can be found in any SRX board, and the SR-JV80-15 isn't 100% duplicated by any SRX (although a "selection" of its waveforms are found in SRX-08).<br/> <br/> You...

I wouldn't buy it, personally. If you transfer the SR-JV80-11 patches from the SRX-08 CD to a SmartMedia card, and then assign them to two of the card-banks, it's exactly the same as having the actual SR-JV80-11 board installed. It's the same situation with the Orchestral II board (I didn't catch th...

<r>Hi Obinno,<br/> <br/> I'm working on an INS for you, but need some additional information.<br/> <br/> Can you check to see what short-hand names the XV-5080 is assigning to the following expansion boards?<br/> <br/> SR-JV80-11, Techno = <br/> SR-JV80-16, Orchestral II =<br/> SRX-04, Symphonique S...

Hi Obinno, The Roland-generated INS files are woefully incomplete. Those found on David Green's LilChips website are better, but many are also incomplete. I recently just spent a few days overhauling my own XV-5080 INS file, filling-in all the gaps. Although I'm probably using different expansions t...

We may all discuss what we think about it but the thing is we cannot claim to be what we are... erh... THE Roland Clan, and then aloud a thing that can potentially harm our relationship with Roland and/or 'cause trouble to anyone. Period. This is applicable to all synthesizers, not just those produ...

Depends on how carefully you read ;-) "You CAN NOT sample preset patches to sell them. " I'm fine with this statement. The sampling of preset waveforms/patches for profit should absolutely be prohibited. But... Nothing I've mentioned has had anything to do with sampling. :) I didn't see t...
