Ok in Retrospect it looks as though I was romanticising about the SR-JV80-19 and that House could be subtley changed but the patches on this synth expansion board are not as tweakable as on other boards.
Too many one hit chords means the longevity of this boards popularity is greatly reduced. The beat phrases are monotonous and actually sound silly when tempo sync'd to slower BPM tunes.
There's no way of bringing it down and very few patches considering it's supposed to represent a whole genre.
I'm returning this board and buying THE SESSION. There, how's that for a radical change for the better.
At least that has brilliant synths waves on it. Anyone wanna buy an EXPERIENCE II board from me for £30?
