    I have been playing with the XV for some days, like the thinness of the sounds a lot. And the basic sounds, which roland gave us via the cloud version are okay (should be the factory from the normal HW)

    I was wondering if somebody came across some Sounds for it? Like banks?

    Your post is writen in a somewhat confusing manner. Can you restate your question?

    Also, when you say "I have been playing with the XV for some days, like the thinness of the sounds a lot. And the basic sounds, which roland gave us via the cloud version are okay (should be the factory from the normal HW)", I dont understand exactly what you are trying to say, as its a run on sentence, that seems like it is possibly missing some words.

    Are you asking for the factory banks from the hardware?

    I'll "translate" for you.
    - He likes the sound of the synth
    - Roland only gave factory sounds of the synth
    - He is looking for more sounds

    I took the time last session to understand the XV5080 and its super easy to program, but Roland made a good job to make it horrible hard to navigate through all this useless submenus.

    I love this sound, reminds me on the retro dance times so much.

    The XV-5080 is sitting here in my sx mount rack legendary synths with his best friend S-760, is expanded with 3 SRX cards (Vintage-Orchestral and Strings). I don't want to say that the hardware obviously sounds better then the plugin, all we know it, I want to tell you that Roland cloud didn't implemented a precious part of it, in the hardware you have 128 Megabytes of RAM where you can import Roland, WAV samples (reading ISO cds or just FAT32 memory card), import AKAY key-maps (incl. samples) and Roland S series key-maps patches (incl. samples). Now you can imagine what powerful beast it was in the old era? Is STILL sounds incredible hot with these old converters, the FX are still good and the sound is sitting amazing in the mix like all the old glorious Roland synths.

    I want to add a tip for you.
    Open google and in the search filed digit: "Roland XV5080 resources" type enter and enjoy!

    @8bits yeah i read about how powerful the xv5080 was, i mean alone what roland has implemented here, its already powerful for me.
    I mean those waveforms already, must have been heaven back in 2000 and i can hear it in lot sof those 2000 tracks already.

    Hmm yeah i found some manual, it would help to have a list of all waveforms to select, bcs that menu they have implement it very hard to navigate.
    Anything else i can find there, besides the manuals?

    A niche question that I'm not positive to get great answers for, but want to try all the same.

    I have a Roland XV-5050 and XV-5080 that I don't use as part of my normal audio setup. They're a side, niche project for which I want to do MIDI rearrangements with. I'm now interested in trying to find free/underpriced presets that people have done with it and used to post a generation ago, but today I find that pool is remarkably limited.

    A couple incredibly old hardware library sellers have some libraries, but still want more money for them than they can compete with now - like $50 or $80 on up and either a very small audio sample of what it actually sounds like or none at all.

    A couple "products" are for sale on Ebay at decent prices, but have no real information on them or what to really expect. One of them claims 4,000+ presets. I didn't think that many custom presets existed for the XV on this planet at all. One of them won't answer any questions from me and the other responded with useless information entirely.

    LFOStore has one, but it wasn't really what I was looking for. Trying to make it sound like a "modern" sound producer which is really against the whole point.

    And what forum links I could find dating back to the early aughts are now 404 by now.

    So there's where I'm at. Is there anyone knowledgeable on surviving preset stuff for the XV that could enlighten me?

    Thank you!

    @Meteo Xavier hey i merged your topic with this one. I found not really any free soundbanks, I have not tried yet if you can load any JV1080 banks?
    Also there are some resources posted here, but you maybe have them already.

    BUt its hard to find any soundbanks for the XV's - for the D50 and JV's it was so much easier. If you find some i would like to know it aswell, maybe they can be loaded into the Cloud version?

    @Meteo Xavier - I also have an OG hardware XV-5080 with a few expansions boards. People have been saying for years that "yeah, there are a million JV/XV patches online" that you can load in your synth. I have yet to find that magical resource... :dunno:

    I managed to find the USER banks for the various JV/XP synths - they do differ somewhat - and scraped together a nice little user bank of my own, but that's about it.

    I wouldn't pay eBay bank sellers even a dime, unless it's a reputable seller - like the former Sound Source Unlimited does have an eBay store (look up greytsounds - although no JV/XV banks)

    Kid Nepro is still selling their banks, but the price is kind of high ($80). They're quality sounds, though. https://www.kidnepro.com/KN/Roland/JV1080/JVXPMain.html

    I have thousand of Patches for JV-1080 (and JD-800) but only in .syx files. I'm dreading to find a way of converting .syx to .bin to be able to upload all those patches to software JV-1080(applicable to 5080). Strangely there is only one non-roland online converter for D-50 syx files but not for any others. If anyone can find a way around thişs I'm more than happy to share the patch libraries I have.

    There's a few facebook groups/pages focused on the Roland XV / JV / JD platforms.
    Search in fb different combinations of 'roland .....'

    Like or follow then to access their Files area.

    Many thanks for the advice. Been there. It gets you to python-blue site with the script. I have no coding skills. Downloaded the python script. And python. All I get is error messages and a command screen blinking. The script looks outdated and does not work with newer versions of Python. Tried old versions too but no luck. Page is closed to comments. It looks like it is a dead end :(

    I wish I had some coding skills to be able to pull this off.

    Many thanks for the direction. Tried that. But could not come across a converter in the Files section. It seems like there is only syx files there which I have plenty. Could it be I'm missing something?

    u tried to write the guy, who did the code, if he could update it or direct u in the right direction?
    or you could install paython v2, which for sure could run teh code as it was coded in v2.

    Can you zip & pm me these files? I'd have a look when I have some spare time, trying to fix these python issues...

    Tried to contact but he/she locked the topic long time ago. Seems like it is no longer supported. I tried all versions down to v3. I will try v2 as you suggested thanks.
