I've just picked up a roland vintage synth module and am in love with many of the sounds - all the ones I grew up with (rhodes, hammond, mellotron etc). Banged into my looper, you get this glorious impenetrable wall of sound. I can seriously see myself doing a gig sans geetar at some point.

Interesting. What model? How vintage? It's part of the JV1080 sold as a standalone rack unit. See www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Birdland/3547/rev-mvs1.htmSomewhat lacking in programability (by today's standards) but the sounds.... I used to loop with my sh-101 synth back in the 80s (wish I'd kept it) so it's about time I tried something other than a geetar  |

I'm looping with a Nord G2 at the moment as it's pretty compact and capable of a huge range of sounds

Somewhat lacking in programability (by today's standards) but the sounds.... I think not, tho' I couldn't be 100% certain. I have the JV1010 which is programmable via SoundDiver (special edition bundled with the hw) Just about everything is tweakable with a pc and a midi interface. Surely the 1080 is similar, barely controllable from the front panel, but with sound diver goes to nerd heaven. |

I'm one of the few non-guitar loopers I think Never heard of this model before but I have used an JV in the past. Glad you like it |

I had that JV1080 model which I sold last year. Wish I had it back now. I purchased a new Roland Fantom XR ,which is great, but I need a second for my current setup I'm putting together. Looking at the XV-5050 or the JV-1010 also. Gotta figure out a way to rackmount the JV-1010 though.

I have the xv-2020 I have gotten some nice results using it it records well, quiet easy quick If I have a specific sound in mind it's groover I have not added any expansion boards yet. I have a nord modular rack mount and it was really amazing. I hope whom ever has it now is enjoying it.  |

since my last reply I've moved on to looping all sorts of synths and have done sets with the following, usually solo, often just through a filter e.g. frostwave resonator, korg mini-kp or korg monotron
ems vcs3
casio sk-1
casio pt-82
korg kaossillator
korg microkorg
moog micromoog
nord modular
nord modular g2
sequential prophet vs
waldorf blofeld
yamaha pss-380
yamaha vss-30
