Looks like syrup dude has been consuming a bit too much "syrup" eh?


As for me being the only one hearing the decay issue, go to :

www.harmony-central.com and click on the synth database for the xp-30 and 60. There are other people who have this problem as well.

Also try sonicstate.coms synth database. YOu will see complaints of this noise in there as well.


And for your information syrup, I had the 60 for 28 days before I returned it.


Also, the Tritons case is plastic on the ends(just like xp's).


Lets not forget that the Tritons effect section is worth 500 dollars in and of itself. YOu can even hook up other instruments(and your own voice) to its effects unit and output them to a recording device. LEts not also forget the SCCI option, which allows the Triton to be hooked up to a hard disk.

Also, the Triton has a fab ribbon controller, and an x/y joystick UNLIKE the xp's.

It also has a sampler.
The synth engine is not as complex as the xp's, but that is remedied in one fail swoop by picking up the MOSS synth card, which in turn surpasses the xp's synth engine capabilities.

As for the sounds loosing their punch, thats because you need to manually copy the effects to the sequencer. THey dont automatically follow the sound to the sequencer.

Lets not forget the DUAL arpeggiator.

Look, I like the roland xp's, but the grunge issue is ridiculous. The xp's are way overpriced for what you get, and sound a little bit dated to me.

I would have kept my xp-60 though had they fixed the grunge issue.
