Roland Introduces New Hip-Hop Wave Expansion Board

Fat Beats, Smooth Bass Lines, Lo-fi Loops and More

January 29, 1998 -- The new SR-JV80-12 Hip-Hop Collection wave expansion board is truly a Hip-Hop music powerhouse. With its 256 high-quality patches and eight full rhythm sets, this user-installable board offers owners of expandable XP-Series Music Workstations and many JV-Series synths all the latest, fattest Hip-Hop sounds.

The SR-JV-80-12 includes frequently used Hip-Hop instruments like basses, horns and keyboards, as well as various acoustic and electronic drum sounds, "lo-fi" sounds, human beat box sounds, vocal sounds and a wide variety sound effects. There's also over forty cutting-edge drum and rhythm loops and eight fat rhythm sets at the ready, making the SR-JV-80-12 the ideal Hip-Hop music construction kit. With the XP-60, XP-80 and JV-2080's Tempo-Sync function, these loops can be easily sync'd to MIDI Clock, adding floor-pounding loops to MIDI tracks without missing a beat.

For any expandable XP-Series or JV-Series synth owner looking to lay down fat beats and head-bobbing grooves, the SR-JV-80-12 wave expansion board is a must.
