Roland XP-10 Multitimbral Synthesizer including genericAC adaptor & printed & bound manual. This is a 5-octave, 61-key unitwith a surprisingly wide range of features. Used but fully functional, this is in excellentcondition for a 25-year-old synth, and would be equally useful as a cheap &cheerful stage unit in a live setting, or as a simple startpoint for abeginning keyboard player. BASICSDespite being ‘entry-level’ in 1994, the XP-10 stillprovides a large range of quality sounds including: pianos, organs, strings, synthsounds & effects, drumsounds. There’s also a nice, sensitive tonewheel for’bending’ the notes when playing synth solos. The XP-10 does NOT have on-board amplification.Outputs include 1/4″ jacks (L & R with L Only = Mono) to plug thekeyboard through an amp, combo, or PA, plus a headphone socket for silentpractice. FEATURES FOR LIVE PLAYINGThis was one of the earliest keyboards to allowsplit sounds between right & left hands … the lower half of the keyboardcan be set to ‘double bass’ while the upper half is set to ‘piano’, forexample. If you’re not great at playing in keys with threesharps or four flats, the XP10 has a very quick-and-simple transpose functionwhich allows you to play in (for example) C and F while actually producingmusic in the keys of E and A. These features are very handy for live use,especially if keys are being changed at short notice like a jam session. MIDI STUFFThe Roland XP10 is multitimbral, allowingmultiple sounds to be played simultaneously using MIDI input. It is a simple GM-compatiblesynthesiser that is ideal as a sound source for playing back General MIDIsequencer files. The sample set is drawn from the Roland JV- and XP-series ofsynthesisers. There is also an arpeggiator that can be synced to the MIDI clock. BAD STUFFThe only issue with this unit is that the On/Offbutton has always been dodgy since I bought it ten years ago. The guy I boughtit from showed me how to wedge a matchstick in to hold it in the ‘On’ position.The matchstick you see in the photo has been there since 2011. No extra charge. SO WHY SELL IT?Thanks to Lockdown, I’ve been spending far moretime playing R’n’R piano than bass, and I now feel an urgent need for akeyboard with 88 weighted keys. This one has to go to help fund the upgrade.I’ve never really used MIDI anyway. Dimensions: 93 x 29 x 9 cm, Weight: 5kg
