For the Roland FA-06/08, you get the SRX expansion for free as a download. I expected something similar for the BK-9, but Roland hasn't fulfilled their announcement to release expansion sounds for the BK-9 yet.
Anyway, IMO you definitely can't say Roland has a general weakness in brass sounds.


I agree with you, Roland brass sounds have allways been very fat and strong..

Here is an example of Ed Diaz creating an oldfashioned keyboard brass section on the Fa08..

On the newer Roland instruments, like the jupiter 80 trumpet i linked before, there are the super naturall acoustic brass sounds, and they are the only thing in keyboardland that can rival the sa2 brass sounds of Yamaha..

True, Yamaha might have just a tad more realism, but I think theRoland sounds have ore troughput fattness.. I personally love both the Yamaha aswell as the Roland Brass sounds...
