lsj Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 need some advice here. I wrote before about me getting the access virus ti2. presently I have ten synths, boards and modules, and plenty of plug-ins. I know I don't need more but I have the disease. everyone said I have enough, and work with I have. I have owned many Roland synths in the past, but now I do not own a Roland synth. I am thinking of the Roland XM. I do not like the mini keys as I will midi it with my Modx. the XM seems nice. I am not a programmer and usually buy voice libraries then edit them and save them. any comments non the XM will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I have the Fantom Xm and like it. Just ordered the wireless adapter that will connect it to the Roland Cloud and make it easy to load patches from the cloud. Should be in tomorrow. I am gassing for the full size Jupiter X for more programming controls. I know you said you don't program patches, but you really should try a synth that makes it easy to tweak sounds. One more thing, the Xm helped me get over selling my Virus TI2's. They really do sound good. Quote This post edited for speling.

lsj Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 I think my post wasn't that clear. I am considering buying the roland jupiter xm. any comments on this synth will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Hughes Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 My guess is that RABid does have the Jupiter XM, as there's no Fantom XM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I bought a Jupiter X about a year ago. With it and the cloud it's like I've got every Roland synth I ever owned and then some. Really nice addition for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the System 8 if you are lusting for the classic Roland synthesizer sounds. Full size keys instead of mini keys, better VA engine than Jupiter XM and no confusing menu diving. The Jupiter X/XM can do more overall but the System 8 mimics analogue synth sounds better.
