Let’s make some MUSIC!

I’ve been waiting a long time for this… Roland’s new flagship performance synth in an ultra-portable package.

It’s 5-part multitimbral with highly detailed Zen-core engine models for the Juptier-8, Juno 106, JX-8P, SH-101, XV-5080 and the RD series pianos. In addition to Roland’s own vintage filter modeling, the XM includes Moog 24dB/oct ladder filter and a Sequential Curtis filter emulations!

All of this in a tiny 10 lbs. package with internal speakers. Absolutely perfect for working when I’m in the studio and on the road…

And it’s found its forever home. More to follow…

We spent the weekend developing an early demo of Alison’s newly reworked song “Ten Thousand Roses”.

Here’s a rough mix of the 1st verse along with a short scene from Vampyr.
