I think that Rolands new XV synth will cause a lot of controversy and will cause people to drop their Trition or whatever else they are using.

Judging by that new VA-7, I wouldn't be surprised if the new XV workstation included a huge screen, variphrase technology, a slot for JP expansion, dynamic articulation reverbs and much more. Something like this would easily knock the Triton out of the water.

What' cool about the XVs, is that it works great even unexpanded. I simply couldn't afford an XV, I'd keep my XP, but it would be nice if Roland really came out with that SRJV20 Sample ROM Expansion Board - That will would still crank some more life in to our JVs/XPs.
