Hi all,

No, Roland doesn't say the samples are 24-bit, just the DAC.

This is pasted from the brochure (on-line at the 5080 site):

All three XV-Series synthesizers have powerful DSP effects onboard, incorporating independent reverb, chorus, and studio-quality multi-effects processors. The lush, ambient reverb algorithms are derived from Roland’s top-of-the-line SRV-3030 24-bit Digital Reverb Processor. The chorus section
produces a rich, thick modulation perfect for fattening up leads and pads.

The new M-FX section contains all of the JV-2080’s EFX algorithms, plus popular V-Studio effects, RSS, and unique algorithms like 3D Delay, Slicer, formant filter, Isolator, and a triplet-based Shuffle Delay. On the XV-5080, the M-FX section* is beefed up further to include COSM processing and a set of multi-effects optimized for guitar, bass, and keyboard. The 5080 even sports a master EQ per output.

Most importantly, with entire XV Series all of this massive DSP processing is heard through 24-bit D/A converters, ensuring crystal-clear sound reproduction.

Regards,
Chris
