Owned a JV-1010 + Bass&Drums card for just 2 weeks and I'm still impressed!

Easy to use (with a PC), and I've already started programming a few patch improvements (surely they're not serious with that tambourine waveform that sounds like a jingle bell Father Christmas dropped?).

I like the pianos on the inbuilt Session card, and the bass & drums on the Bass&Drums card are terrfific!

Just be warned though - the drums on this card only have bass drum, snare, toms, cymbals & high-hat - anything else you'll need to find elsewhere.

I'm a guitarist (real picky about guiitar sound) and have never heard anything that comes remotely close to sounding like a real guitar, and this synth is no different, but some are as good as I've heard anywhere. Doesn't matter - I'll be using real guitars in my recordings.

My sequences have immediately taken a lift from the old Korg X5DR module. Thousands of patches on the web - I've already built up a good library of the basic sounds I need (mostly brass, B3 organs, piano, strings, pads, bass & drums).

Rock on,
Hound Dog
