Roland XV-88 Patchman MusicROLAND XV-2020, XV-5080, XV-88, XV-5050, XV-3080, & Compatible Soundbanks

VOLUME 1: Wind Controller Essentials

Online MP3 Demos Available! (See Below)

Volume 1, Wind Controller Essentials, for the Roland XV-2020, XV-5080, XV-88, XV-5050, XV-3080, and compatibles contains a full bank of 128 all-new and amazing Patches and 64 astounding Performances specially designed to be used with (and requires) a MIDI wind controller or breath controller. This soundbank works superbly with a wind controller such as the Roland XV-2020 Patchman MusicYamaha WX5, WX7, WX11, WindJamm'r, Akai EWI USB, EWI4000s, EVI, EWI4000s, Nyle Steiner MIDI EVI and EWI, MDT, or Softwind Synthophone. Keyboardists can also enjoy these highly expressive sounds when used with a Yamaha BC1, BC2, or BC3 plugged directly into a keyboard equipped with a breath controller input or plugged into a device such as the MIDI Solutions Breath Controller Box or Anatek Wind Machine (out of production). These sounds require a wind controller or breath controller for proper use.

This soundbank contains 192 of the most expressive sounds available for the XV-5080/88/5050/3080/2020, programmed by professional wind controller player / sound designer Matt Traum. These new sounds were specifically programmed for the XV series to take advantage of the new XV features (they were not simply taken from our JV sounds). We have included a huge variety of realistic woodwinds, brass, orchestral layers, synth leads, Roland XV-5080 Patchman Musicand killer chorded layers! Plus highly expressive orchestral flutes, breathy exotic flutes, clarinets including contrabass clarinet, a full compliment of saxes, trumpets, trombones, orchestral brass layers, harmonicas, solo and ensemble strings, Brecker-style chorded leads, Tower of Power style brass layers, fat analog synth leads, plus a killer bagpipe patch complete with drones! We have also included 6 special WX Performances designed to take full advantage of the sustain feature that is built into the Yamaha WX7 wind controller or the Yamaha MFC2 footpedal. If you use a WX7 wind controller or have a Yamaha MFC2 footpedal, these 6 Performances were pre-programmed to allow you to sustain a note or chord pad and solo over it on another MIDI channel! Amazing stuff!! Listen to the MP3 demos below.

All sounds have been logically organized by type for quick and easy access. If you own a wind controller or breath controller you owe it to yourself to get this top quality soundbank!

Jeff Kashiwa Patchman Music

EWI Virtuoso Jeff Kashiwa (The Rippingtons) Comments...

"I've played around with the sounds and they are great! They have a wonderfully responsive envelope which allows full expression through timbre changes. Even though they are electronically generated they still have an organic 'real' feel. They put the Wind back in EWI! I am very much enjoying the sounds. It's like getting a new instrument. I recommend visiting patchmanmusic.com for the best EWI sounds. Thanks Matt!"

- Jeff Kashiwa, Sax and EWI virtuoso with The Rippingtons and solo recording artist.

Customer Comments...

"I've played around with the sounds and they are great! They have a wonderfully responsive envelope which allows full expression through timbre changes. Even though they are electronically generated they still have an organic 'real' feel. They put the Wind back in EWI! Thanks Matt!" - Jeff Kashiwa, Sax and EWI virtuoso with The Rippingtons and solo recording artist.

"Hi Matt, thanks a million for the Soundbank. These patches really bring the XV-2020 to life! I really, really love the Sax patches with the Yamaha WX5... and getting it up and running couldn't be easier. Pay, get an email right back, load the soundbank into the XV and you're away. I'm very impressed."

"Hi Matt, thanks for the fast email. You know what I am going to say next.... The sounds for the Roland XV-2020 are GREAT! Patchman rules :) All the best."

"Just installed your patches... WOW! I had always thought that the only way to enjoy the immediacy of response from the EWI was by using the on board synth. Whenever I triggered another MIDI device I always experienced the lagging 'notes catching up' effect. Now I realize that a properly programmed patch on an external piece of gear responds nearly as well as the on board synth. And oh yeah, the sounds are great! Thanks Matt!"

"I loaded the file last night into my XV-88 and played it with a WX5 wind controller. Pretty darn awesome!! Thanks."

"Hi Matt, Just a quick note to let you know that the patches sound fantastic!!! I love the Brecker stuff. Thanks so much!!"

"I'm still enjoying with pleasure the XV-5050 wind patches. The Cello 2 Vib patch is a killer! Thanks."

"Hey Matt, WOW! These sounds are incredible. Performance #44 'EWI Lyr. Ld.' is amazing. Thanks."

"Matt, thanks for the prompt turnaround... the patches are great. I've bought a [Patchman] set for every module I have, and this one is by far 'my favorite'. Good job."

"Received the stuff, loaded onto the XV-3080- instructions were very clear. Stuff works pretty darn cool. I mean, this is definitely a big step forward using these patches and my BC3. I've come a long ways from what I had before... Great work on this stuff!"

"The XV wind controller soundbank is incredible!"
