"Best B3 in a card"
I'm a blues player. This card is by far the best value for a B3 sound under 500 lbs. I use it in a JV1010...and I also have a Hammond XB-2, but the organ sounds in this card beat all the others. This is true for the Vox/Farfisa patches, too. I've tried ALL other modules and clones. The Rhodes and Wurlis are very good also, but a few of EP sounds have some background noise...the only negative to this card. I wouldn't record with them, but they sound fine for live work. Bottom line? If you can stand not having drawbars to tweak real-time, this is what you need...especially if you play classic rock covers. Otherwise you can buy a new Korg CX-3 or Voce V5 for a lot more $$.
"Some sounds are incredible.B3 a little plastic sounding,but better than most other keyboards!! They tend to sound a litle plasti"
Feature:
The most useful sounds for me are Tone Wheel Piano-Wurlitzer,and a couple of the Rhodes-patches.
Quality:
Yep,it's made very well.
Desirability:
Being a professional musician and in need for those old B3/Wurlitzer/Rhodes-sounds,I just had to get me one of these..;)
Sound:
Sounds great.The Tonewheel Piano is incredible.The Wurlitzer too.. Don't care much about the B3-sounds anymore,since I now own a Korg CX3,which of course sounds much better.(obviously,since the price is so much higher.) I've owned my XP-50 since 1995,and now I'm wondering about buying the Piano-board.I need some good piano sounds on stage,and in my home studio.
Support:
There is no real support for Roland here in norway.The guys at the music shop don't bother checking up on these "old" cards anyway.

"bell bottom circuits and more waves than Greg Brady ever caught"
I have this expansion in my xp-50 and if there ever was a song written between '60 and '79, you can find it (or tweak it) with this soundset. Ray Manzerek would be impressed with the Doors patches. Riders/Storm has an excellent glassyness that makes you want to play the song over and over. A lot of the mellotron patches are excellent. Non of the patches are duplicated here which I find annoying in other sound modules. Although, there really isn't anything out there to compare this board with I don't think I'd look for too much else.
"Great!!"
This board sounds great!! really, it's tru. I bought it for the Rhodes piano, 'cause the jv-synths don't own good Rodes piano's. But they sounds great at this board.
And then the Hammond organs.....WOW!! They are so realistic, especially for this price.
