The Roland XV-5080 Comes to Roland Cloud

Published on Dec 10, 2019 Roland Cloud

"Released in 2000, the Roland XV-5080 stepped onto the scene, 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.

Its fidelity and technological adaptability were unmatched at the time and embraced heavily by composers and producers spanning a wide range of genres.

The rackmount Roland XV-5080 was an undisputed hit.

With over 900 presets in its library, Roland Cloud’s XV-5080 facilitates genre-hopping fluidity. From low-end theory to iconic retro game sounds and symphonic masterpieces, this instrument is limited only by the imagination. The categorical search function makes finding the perfect sonic complement to your workflow effortless."

I think each one of us has a soundtrack of life, that is, certain songs that connect with formative situations in life. The first love, a moment when you were very happy or maybe even unhappy lost someone.
,
The song "Forever Young" by the German synthesizer pop group Alphaville was released in 1984. It was the band's second single. There are songs that shape one in many different ways. This one is in my personal Top5.
,
In 1989 I was lucky enough to catch an Amiga license album. In the GDR, Western music was hardly to be found. The VEB Amiga Berlin pressed few albums, which were under the counter and if, then only with relations to get. In July 1989, shortly before my 17th birthday, I was able to buy an album on the black market. This moment of happiness.
,
I wanted to cover the track, as a small tribute to this wonderful song.
In the original they used the Jupiter 8, PPG wave, Logan String Melody 2 and for the solo at the end the Arp Odyssey. I recorded everything with the Juno-106. That is also from the year 1984.;)

all synthesizer sounds: #Roland #Juno-106 Analog #Synthesizer (1984) except the aah sound is from the Emax
drums: E-MU Emax samples
recording: multi-track
fx: reverb and delay"

via this auction

"Arp Odyssey (2800) Lumina. heavily modified by Phil Cirocco of Discrete Synthesizers/CMS (best Arp tech in the states, maybe world). Phil did the lumina mod so the sliders are 100% functional, LED-modded and AWESOME. Phil also did all the mods you see: LFO free run switch, ext audio in, CV/Gate/VCF inputs, highpass/bandpass switch and ADSR time/range extension switch. he also overhauled it, leveled the keybed, general maintenance, etc. awesome awesome condition. minor little marks here and there (hey, it's almost 50 years old!) but nothing major. the mods alone were $1800."

Roland Juno-60 w/ Extras

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This Juno 60 is a piece of Museum, it comes with all the original documents, soft case and preset tape from Roland,
The documents included the owner invoice (blank !) the owner Manuel and the preset bank A and B documents.
I also had the tape to load back the presets and some jack adapters from Roland, still with the Roland plastic envelopes.
This synthesizer itself is in excellent condition, it shows some tiny signs of wear but the keyboard and push buttons are still in a really beautiful colour, not yellowish.
The synthesizer has been meticulously serviced and calibrated.
It works really great !"
