--------------------------------------------------------------

A True XV-Series Synth

At the heart of this half-rack module is Roland’s most advanced
synthesis engine ever—based on a powerful 4-Tone architecture
with stereo waveforms per Tone and expressive Matrix Control.
There are 1,083 high-quality waveforms in internal memory
(equivalent to 64MB), giving the XV-2020 a broad range of sounds
that are further enhanced via onboard reverb, chorus and a choice
of 40 multi-effects. Edited sounds can be saved to User memory.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Expandable Design

It’s hard to believe that a half-rack module can hold up to 192MB
of waveforms, but that’s exactly what you get by adding two
optional SRX-Series Wave Expansion Boards. These quality-intensive
boards each contain 64MB of waveforms and hundreds of fresh,
inspiring presets. So whether you want the absolute finest grand
piano sounds or drums—or a killer collection of dance sounds—
simply pop in any two of the nine SRX titles presently available.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Easy USB Connectivity

With its built-in USB port the XV-2020 simplifies everything from
MIDI connections to sound editing. Just connect a USB cable from
the –2020 to your computer, install the included driver software
and you’re set! This feature also makes the XV-2020 the perfect
companion to laptop-based systems since no external MIDI interface
is required. And you get the power of a 16-part multitimbral synth
capable of producing virtually any sound imaginable.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Editing Software Included

Following Roland’s latest trend of integrating hardware and
software, the XV-2020 includes a powerful editing program for
Mac or PC. Just install the software from the included CD-ROM,
make sure the USB cable is connected, and you can tweak everything
from multimode filters to envelopes and effects—or even alter the
semi-modular Structure Types—using a sleek graphic interface.
It’s a great way to harness the full power of the XV synth engine.
