What are the differences between the XP-80 and XP-50?
The JV-1080, XP-50 and XP-80 all use the same sound engine, but the XP-80 has some important differences. • User interface: The user interface was redone in the XP-80 which included a much larger backlit LCD, which can display graphics & menus. Six function keys were also added under the display which are a part of the new interface. • Larger Keyboard: The XP-80 has an extended 76-note semi-weighted** keyboard and the XP-50 has a 61-note keyboard which is not weighted. • Additional Sliders: In addition to the 2 programmable sliders on the XP-50, the XP-80 has 4 new sliders, which can be assigned to Cutoff frequency, Resonance, Attack Rate, Decay Rate, or tone level adjustments. These new sliders make real-time patch adjustments much quicker and easier. • Additional Outputs: The XP-80 has 2 stereo outputs (MIX and DIRECT) and also headphones, where the XP-50 has 1 stereo output and headphones. The XP-80 also has a “Click Out” with its own volume control which outputs the metronome sound
