I had a JV-90+techno card, now I have XP-80 + same techno card

The JV-90 was my first synthesizer and I loved it. Great sounds, lots of editing possibilities and a large keyboard.
I also had the Voice expansion board which was basicly a second JV with another 28 voices. You couldn't play the keyboard with 56 voices simultaniously tho (28+28 seperate)... and the voice expansion could only play patches made with internal waveforms.

I found that the JV-90 was a bit unstable for midi-sequencing. Really, I sometimes could hear the difference between MUTING a part and DISABLING one... meaning that the other parts would sound more stable with the part being disabled (no, they didn't exceed the voice-limit).

Now I have the XP-80!
Much more stable, more voices, waveforms, effects and a large lcd screen but it sounds very much the same.

Edit: It's hard to tell but maybe the JV-90 sounded a bit warmer

btw I use the ChangeIt patch editor, it's great!!! http://aragon.iitb.fhg.de/moss/Software/ChangeIt.html
