I loved mine... The only synth or synth workstation I ever purchased brand new... That was in 1995 when it came out... Unfortunately, I had to sell it 7 years later... I miss it... Possibly in the future, I'll find another in decent condition...
About Roland synthesisers around this time, kind of pads, it sounds Were all very interesting, but lacked the definition which the LA synthesis of the D50 used to provide. the XP series sounds were acoustically realistic in terms of rendering, but the quality of output was always muddy and grainy
@@hermeslord - What got me to purchase one in 1995 was my experiences with the JV-1080 "Super JV Module" that came out the year before... After working with one in a studio, and then finding out that the yet-to-be-released XP-50 Music Workstation was essentialy a JV-1080 with keys and a built-in Super MRC Sequencer, I HAD to have one! I never regretted it!
Love my XP50, never get rid of it. All 4 expansion slots full. I brought this in 1995, apart from a new battery. Still going strong 🎹😎🐾
