SR-JV80-98 Experience
II
This is the second incarnation of the "Experience" series of Roland boards for the XP/JV series of synths. It's kind of curious that it's called "98" (presumably from the year it was released), but comes after the first Experience board, which is called "99"...
This board features excellent sounds from several boards: Pop, Orchestral, Piano, Vintage Synth, World, Super Sound Set, Keyboards of the '60s and '70s, Session, and Bass & Drums.
