Sorry but there are very real differences from this line and the FXR sounds and if you cant tell you are either lying about using/owning one, or are in heavy denial because you spent all that money on your 5080 and are desperate to convince yourself (it really sounds like you are) how superior it is. i couldnt find one actual rhodes patch- a "real" rhodes, not the super-chorused out, tinny, 80's cheesy pop rhodes- on either one. the same exact piano patches, converters or not they are relatively dull. The 50 each had almost identical sounds to the xp 80. i spent about a week at sam ash demo'ing the 5050,5080, and Fantom XR.
#Roland xv 5080 similar upgrade#
I had both the xp 30 and xp 80, which i was quite happy with but wanted (needed) to upgrade them. I was so sold on the xv 5080/5050 hype and i was quite close to purchasing one of them because of it. im going to throw a monkey wrench in this. I probably went overboard anyway, this guy seems to be a noob/beginner, so maybe the XV5050 or even Fantom XR(If his budget permits) is most likely a safe buy. Listen, I've never stated the XV5050 wasn't a good buy, especially for a Preset Box, but advanced users would always choose the 5080 over it, myself included.
If you compare the 2, which apparently you haven't, you'll notice that 5050 almost sounds distorted. Yeah it may sound crisp, but where is the character & lowend?Īll Roland did was resampled the ROM, using more effects, at a very hot signal, but everything else was downgraded. So, again, I'll reiterate for the last time: "The XV5050 is a weakling in comparison, regardless of what you read & fail to realize" Regarding your digital output comment: I could clock either 44K or 48K with my 5080.
The XV5080 is clearly better in all categories, regardless if the others are rehashaed with same Wave ROM!!! Roland have been rehashing their ROM since the JV series, but each synth all carry a distinct sound through their converters.īetter converters, produces better sound, and you could ask any experienced user to back this up. Now class can we see(understand) what thunderkyss means when he says they are the same? The samples in the 5080, and the 5050 are the same.do we see this? Do we see Where he admits he was wrong, and says the Reverb is in fact the same? Do we see where the ThunderKyss says the only difference(as a sound module) between the two, is that one plays back at 32Khz, and the other plays back at 44.1Khz? Does that make the sound and effects better on the 5080? What if you took the signal from the digital out, into your computer/digital mixer?Ĭan we agree that if the sounds of both units are generated from the same sampled Waveform, in the same synth engine, with the same effects, that one cannot be better than the other?Įven if you can here the difference, how great of a difference can it be?ĭid everyone see in the Keyboard review, where the reviewer said the 5050 was punchier to his ears?ĭo I need to read this again for everyone? OK class, can someone find in the above quote, where Entee, asks which of the units is better.Ĭan anyone see where Entee asks if the quality of the samples & Effects are different In quality? Online demos does not accurately represent the true sound quality. I would suggest you travel down to your local music retailer and audition the XV5050 & Fantom XR. It was once Roland's Flagship Synth Product and personally I feel it still is. Like I've stated before, I know from experience of having the XV5050, Fantom XR, and now still the undisputed champ XV5080.Įntee, unfortunately we cannot decide for you, but I wanted to make clear of why the XV5080 was more expensive over the others. Didin't prove a thing other than repeating the advantages of having the XV5080 over it's trimmed down siblings. LOL, then you supply not 1, but 2 links to the XV5050 review, how clever. This is why you are paying more, I never stated the Wave ROM was different. He would have all of the effects, enough dsp power to handle his inserts in performance mode + polyphony, more than enough expansion slots, the better converters, Akai sample playback to mix in custom samples, better hands-on editing capabilities, a zillion audio output configurations, 32 part multitimbral, etc.
