ROLAND SOUND EXPANSION SERIES MODULES TURBO FACTS The Roland Sound Expansion Series Modules are 1-space rackmount sound modules that include sounds from the Roland JV and XP-series synthesizers with the SR-JV80 Series Wave Expansion Boards. Each model uses 8 to 10MB of wave memory to provide high quality sounds previously available only to JV-Series or XP-50/80 owners. In addition to hundreds of sounds on each module, other features include: 8 Multitimbral Parts, 28 voices polyphony, 8 Reverb types and 3 Chorus types. Each module also includes audio inputs (L/R) and audio outputs (L/R) so that audio signals from multiple Sound Expansion modules can be chained together, requiring less inputs on your mixer. The Sound Expansion Series Modules that are currently available include the M-BD1 Bass & Drum Module, the M-OC1 Orchestra Module, the M-SE1 String Ensemble Module and the M-VS1 Vintage Synth Module.
