Expanding the acclaimed Roland SR-JV80-Series expansion board library even further, Roland introduced the SR-JV80-15 Special FX Collection and SR-JV80-16 Orchestral II Collection. These boards can be user-installed into any expandable XP- or JV-Series instrument, including the affordable new XP-30 synthesizer and compact JV-1010 synth module.

The SR-JV80-16 Orchestral II Collection is well suited for pop-oriented orchestral music, film, television and jingle composers with its stunning new orchestral and Celtic Patches.

Each collection encompasses more than 200 Patches, comprised of at least 100 waveforms on the SR-JV80-15 and more than 140 on the SR-JV80-16.
