If you learn how to edit their time variant filters & amplifiers, & LFOs, & considering their synth patches are made up of up to 4 sample layers, their synth engine is pretty powerful. Eric Piersing used to design their patches.
🦉 Roland's orchestral samples also sound great in a mix. When you preview them on their own they don't sound as spectacular as boutique sample libraries. But use them in a track & everything just sounds right. |
Yup...this is my 10th Roland digital synth I think lol. Not all at the same time, I only have a 2080 to go with this...for the moment. I have the Vintage card in the 2080 which I'll probably put in the 990, but last year I had a 5080 with the orchestral card in and the samples do sound good. Basic, but very nice as a backup to other stuff.
