SR-JV80-97 Experience
III
This is the third incarnation of the "Experience" series of Roland boards for the XP/JV series of synths. Again, it's kind of strange that it's called "97", but comes after the first Experience board, which is called "99"...
This board features excellent sounds from many Roland SR-JV80-series expansion boards: Pop, Orchestral, Piano, Vintage Synth, World, Super Sound Set, Keyboards of the '60s and '70s, Session, Bass & Drums, Techno Collection, Hip Hop Collection, Vocal Collection, and Asia. Featuring 34 waveforms and 100 patches.
