The ARX boards were the starting point for Supernatural sounds, weren't they?

And it sounds like it includes both the SRX sound set, and the Supernatural engine.

It's a good idea, but they really should have included all of that in the Jupiter 80 for $3500.

knowing Roland modules all 6000 presets cannot be overwritten.

23 Hours 30 Mins and 10 Secs to go... yay...

Jp80 manual doesnt say anything about supporting external usb controllers

[Bernard]

That was a yay

The SRX Platinum Trax, Ultimate Keys and Complete Orchestral cards had multiple JV-80 cards in them but, with new presets. You could load the old presets in to user presets or on to data cards since the wav data was there. With 6000 presets it might just have the old JV-80 card presets, SRX presets and some new ones but, if all of the old wav data is there then the old presets can be programmed.

Then there?s a new technology called Motional Surround, a 17-part ambience engine that lets you graphically control the distance and position of each part within a 360-degree sound field

Sounds cool

[minimoog]

that's doing it for me

[zzzxtreme]

Much cheaper than a Kronos. Heck, a bunch cheaper than a Jupiter 50.

If they had just given it a dedicated control surface to match all of this awesomeness, I'd be very interested.

Putting all of this in a rack unit -- software editor notwithstanding -- reminds me all over again why I love and hate my FS1R.

I doubt that (routing audio into the module for insert fx processing), but I remember when I had my XP-80 back in the 90s thinking to myself: gee if I only had all the Roland expansion boards, and insert fx on all 16 channels, that would be like my dream synth. I don't spend much money on gear anymore, but I am considering this just to fulfill that desire.
