The MT-120S sound module represents another poke at General MIDI for Roland, but this time incorporating a more 'all-in-one' music source. The SDX-330 will retail for £745 including VAT. Effects offered include 3-dimensional chorus, panning, flange, phasing and a 3-band parametric EQ, of which certain parameters (up to a maximum of five), like rotation speed or panning, can be controlled via MIDI. Utilising the RSS technology first implemented by Roland in 1990, the SDX-330 is able to move audio signals around a 3-dimensional sound field using conventional stereo speakers. The SDX-330 is Roland's latest step in their ventures into 3-dimensional sound. £1,499 will buy you 56-note polyphony and 24-part multitimbrality with a wealth of sounds and expansion capabilities. The JV-90, a better-endowed 76-note keyboard, has been designed by Roland to be both a live keyboard, with its comprehensive controller sliders and a velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive keyboard, and a synth for studio/sequencing applications. The JV-50 has all the functions of the JV-35 but with the addition of a SMF player, all for the retail price of £1,350. The JV-35, which retails at £1,099, comes in the physical form of a 61-note velocity-sensitive keyboard and with the aid of a pre-installed VE-JV1 expansion board offers 56-note polyphony and 16-part multitimbrality. The new generation of synths - the JV-35, JV-50 and JV-90 - have each been designed to be upgradeable via expansion boards, to increase the polyphony, multitimbrality and the total number of sounds available.
At the head of a stampede of new Roland products, which include a new dimensional expander, are more JVs than Jim Davidson could shake a stick at.
