I recently picked up a vintage Roland XV-3080 synth module. I used to own one back in the early days of my production career and now that I'm essentially back where I begin with hardware, I thought it would be nice to get another....so I did! and it has a tremendous Range Of Sounds, Versatility and Quality too.

One thing i detest about all these software driven sounds and DAW on PC /MAC are all these freaking updates either from the OS or the apps. When your system asks of an update all of a sudden, the apps become obsolete or the developers have no more updates and the hardware that goes with the PC/MAC has become useless... like audio interfaces @ $1000 ...dead. Audio hardware and sound modules and keyboards and rack effects and dynamics modules that have never needed these stupid updates and subscriptions are the real winners. I could see this day coming and im glad i invested in hardware when it was cheap and people were dumping it for software. Hardware all the way baby!!

@SoundstarMusic 7 месяцев назад

Yeah same here. Hardware doesn't require updates every 2-3 weeks and is much more durable and will last you a lifetime if you so choose. Agreed. Thanks for watching.

@Worship4LifeGuitar 10 месяцев назад

You are 1000% CORRECT!!! I'm SOOOO SICK about companies charging monthly fees to access these sounds with stupid subscriptions!

@SoundstarMusic 10 месяцев назад

Yeah I saw where it was going and Im glad I killed that lion before it got a chance to bite me! Never liked subscriptions for sounds that I could just buy a module to access and put my own reverb and dynamics on them inside my DAW! .. Thanks for watching! 👍🏾

I own a 2080 and absolutely love it! The expansion cards for these units are incredible, especially Vintage Synth, Techno, and House. I'm a huge fan of both plugins and hardware synths (love the V Collection, Diva, Serum, etc)...but I find the richness and polyphony from the 2080 to be almost unbeatable. Of all the hardware synths I own, I would be hard pressed to say it isn't one of the most useful, it is definitely up there with the Hydrasynth, Digitone and Analog Four despite being 25+ years old!

Great vid. I just purchased a used Xavier 3080 to go with my JV 1000 because of checking out thoughts from producers like yourself. I have the MKS 20 module for the piano sounds but I still wasn’t happy. After hearing the 3080 and all the talk I am convinced the 3080 has all the piano/E Pianos I can tweak to my liking. I’m old school and like the 80’s style Rhodes. Thanks for the extra knowledge.

@SoundstarMusic 10 месяцев назад

Yes the XV-3080 has all the items you listed and more!! It has truly been a blessing to me as a producer as I slowly revert back to the essence of great sound.! Thanks for watching!! 👍🏾

I've had my xv3080 with several cards for 20 plus years and still works great. And you're right I'll never get rid of it. I love hardware, can't do the plug ins

@SoundstarMusic 10 месяцев назад

yeah bro! It's so good being back to where it all began. With more more knowledge now.....I realize I shoulda never gotten rid of it the first time but trust me it aint going nowhere this time!!

Late last year I discovered the Kawai K4 synth. Wow! If you get a chance to check one out do it. They're dirt cheap but sound incredibly good. Great for pad sounds and lo-fi vibes

This hit home.. in 2000 the 3080 n 5080 were king in Mars Music ATL.. Then the Triton came out.. I couldn’t afford one bck then but now own the software n they give u all the expansions with it.. bck then those expansions were $3-400 a piece..bck on the Triton virtual but rockn wit a Force n MP one n Yamaha Mx.. and very much so the ES rack ain’t going nowhere.. bck on my hardware because I hate subscriptions ..

@SoundstarMusic 10 месяцев назад

Yeah I believe slowly just like classic MPC devices came back...you'll begin to see rack synth modules come back some as well. Motif, Fantom and the XV-Series racks are classic pieces to me. Thanks for watching. 👍🏾

@eman0828 3 месяца назад

Roland pretty much ruled the 90s esp the JV series on nearly ever R&B record of that era esp Rodney Jerkins being a heavy user hence the Harp sound on Brandy & Monica - The Boy is Mine. I have the Roland Integra-7 in my rack that includes all the sounds of the JV-1080, JV-2080, XV-5080, plus modern Jupiter sounds. Its got some sounds from the JD990 as well. I'm pretty much hybrid these days as I use both soft synths and hardware rack mount synths. I own most of all all the sounds of the 90s and 00s in my rack from Motif ES, Fantom XR, E-MU Proteus 2000, Mo' Phatt.. I even got the Korg Triton software too. Its something about hardware that software can't replicate esp analog warmth.

@ElijahRock92 7 месяцев назад

Subscriptions (and being forced to connect to the internet period)! That is one of the reasons why I want to get some rackmounted stuff. Also, being a 90s baby, there's just something so satisfying about fiddling with settings and parameters on hardware to create something. All you have to next time is literally just turn on the machine and recall that setting you saved. Sometimes, not having to turn on your laptop/desktop to play music is all you want for that day.

@SoundstarMusic 7 месяцев назад

God speaks through you sir! 👍🏾 I'm never changing how I produce music ever again. I still get the same goals and the music sounds better and fuller. Thanks for watching.

@TonyThomas10000 25 дней назад

Did you try Keyscape and Trillian? Along with Omnisphere, Eric Persing did the sound design (Spectrasonics). He as the chief sound designer of Roland from 1984-2004. The problem with older hardware, it is going to fail sooner or later. Some things can be repaired and some things cannot.

@erronwilliams120 9 месяцев назад

I had modules running through a Mackie 32.8 going into a Apogee Rosetta 800, then I followed the trend. I hated that i sold all of my boxes. those modules had a warmer/fuller/3Dish sound vs software.

@SoundstarMusic 9 месяцев назад

Aye we all did man... but the good thing is that these days even a lot of the new generation of music producers recognize that sound is king! analog synths and digital soft synths are different. 👌🏾Thanks for watching.

@EmiPianoMX 27 дней назад

Had one (and a XV 2020 and a JV1010) sadly sold them and changed them with sme kind of mobile device. The old sound modules have some strenghts, although MIDI DIN is not very common .

@midlandssongwriters2101 17 дней назад

Have you any videos where you play a full midi file song through the XV 3080?

@TheHHHR Месяц назад

Can this module be driven/control by a Roland G.I. 20 using a guitar with a GK3 midi pick up? How about a 5080? Thank you.

@allengriffin8541 24 дня назад

You want to know what We Use, Well I am a KORG Man, I have had a TON of Instruments since the M1 Came out, I use to Love the DX7 Rhodes sound that Bellish Sound but FM doesn't cut it overall, Roland has a Dark Smothered sound to Me I had a JV1010, I have a XV5050 and XV2020 and they sound Dark, XP30 Dark -- I use Korg M50, N1R, X50, NS5R, I am mostly into Electric Pianos and Acoustic Pianos and Pads with Pianos and as a Gospel Musician I feel Korg touches the Spot, They seem to Care More about their SAMPLE QUALITY, This M50 is a Baby of the M3 and It is All I would Need, I have some Yamaha cheap stuff QY100 MU128 and had a SY85 Synth a long time ago but KORG Patches MOVE ME on the Inside.

I can appreciate a rack mount unit. I went with an Integra-7.

Yeah I like that one as well. It has some really great sounds in it for sure. Thanks for watching.

@wolfgangdevries127 10 месяцев назад

Same here. Like 80s/90s most. Spent years in my DAW just to learn how to produce. Forgot about everything. Concentrated on drums and percussion. But I miss the excitement. So I already bought a JV-90, a XV-3080, a RS7000 and a RD-8. A strat too. Planning a bass and a RD-9. But first I have to clean my place, it looks like a dump. Can't produce if they kick me out of the place. Got 10 hours left hehe

@SoundstarMusic 10 месяцев назад

Yeah man music is a simple creative process in essence...all the tools available today cloud the mind a lot and make simple processes very difficult and unfulfilling...Glad you grabbed some gear though. Keep it going for sure! Thanks for watching! 👍🏾

Nice. I’m a 4000 user too. What parts of the music do you use the 4000 and where do you use the 2000xl?

@SoundstarMusic 10 месяцев назад

It depends. Sometimes I just want to use the 2000XL on certain types of songs. Other times it's the 4K so it just depends. The both sonically sound different in my opinion so it just depends on the song I'm doing. I get great results from both machines though! Thanks for watching!

@@SoundstarMusic what do you print final mix from the 4000 or do you do more mixing with something else?

@SoundstarMusic 10 месяцев назад

@@gus_bro I run both MPC's through an external mixer on the way into the DAW (Logic Pro X) and print all finals via the DAW. That's because I may add other elements to the track and further arrange there as well. I have an external mic pre Heritage Audio HE-73EQ version that I use to process drums, strings, mix with etc...and Im im purchasing the Heritage Audio Successor Stereo Bus Compressor here shortly.
