Hi there,
You are looking at a mid 90’s Monster synth/workstation. This is where is all went right again for Roland after the success of their Jupiter series in the early 80’s. Its in great condition with a few scratches on the underside but nothing visible from the top. I’m selling this with the padded and fitted flight case that I bought with it.
Here is some basic information about it:
Pro-quality 76-note weighted-action workstation keyboard, velocity/aftertouch-sensitive64-voice polyphony, 16-part multitimbral capabilities8 MB of internal waveform memory; 40 MB and more than 1,500 Patches when fully expandedAccommodates up to four SR-JV80-Series expansion boards simultaneously16-track MRC-Pro sequencer with direct-from-disk playbackNew sequencer functions like “non-stop” loop recording for added easeHuge 320×80 full-dot backlit LCD for instant verification of all parametersOnboard sequencer memory: 100 patterns, one song, 60,000 notesAdvanced arpeggiator including MIDI sync and guitar strum modeRealtime Phrase Sequence (RPS) for on-the-fly triggering42 insert effects: reverb, chorus, delay, ring modulation, distortion, etc.Two pairs of independent stereo outputsQuick Palette with four assignable sliders; Click out with volume knobCollection of dedicated function buttons for increased operational ease
It’s basically the JV-1080 synth module wrapped into a 76 key keyboard with arpeggiator and sequencer built in, along with a few real-time performance controls.
There is plenty of information about this synth on-line that can sell it better than I can but here is the Wikki link on it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_XP-80
In short, it has everything for the gigging musician or the the busy home recording artist /composer.
Here is a video of me switching it on and playing it

Here are videos of some of the sounds and me deciding whether or not to sell it!

I have just changed the CMOS battery too! I also have an expansion card for this which is being sold separately (SESSION Expansion Board (SR-JV80-09).

It is currently installed in the XP-80 and if you wanted to buy that I would let you have it for an extra 50 cash when you collect (bargain)
Reluctant sale, but I am just not using it these days I now play in an Organ-only band.
Collection only please as its a bit large from the DY9 area in the West Midlands. No international bidders, sorry.
