The Roland XP-50, a music workstation with 61 keys, made its debut in 1995. It combines a 16-track sequencer with the robust sound engine of the Roland JV-1080 sound module. With 64-voice polyphony and a variety of sounds (drums, strings, pianos, etc.), it can be expanded using SR-JV80 expansion boards. The XP-50, which offered a variety of tools in one unit and had onboard effects and MIDI capabilities, was a well-liked option for both live performance and studio production.
