the newer SRX espansion ROMS seem very appealing...more megs of "sample memory"..etc....but do the newer XV synths TRULY "outclass" the older JV synths??
CASE IN POINT...the Roland SRX "Complete Orchestra" board COMBINES waveforms from the SRJV "Orchestral 1, 2 and Vocal" boards. if i loaded an older JV-1080 with ALL of these boards wouldn't i achieve the same sonic results?? PER THE SPECS i'd have MORE "patches" to choose from. if i used primarily "outboard" effects....would a "loaded" JV1080 be a better buy?? i only ask because a friend is selling a loaded JV1080 for MUCH LESS than i could buy an XV5050 or 5080 WITHOUT any "expansion" boards at all. would there be any "sonic" compromises?? let me know if you have any thoughts on this. thanks.
