Roland Clan Forums

Ditto! I haven’t much experience with forums and I’ve been looking around. :) If I posted my topic in the free zone, when it should perhaps be in the vintage instrument zone, should I pull it down and repost in the proper topic area? I would like the ‘right’ people to see it. And/or if I wish to sha...

I’m interested in your progress because I have an XP-50 that needs work. Also wonder if you take on projects for others… Cheers!

I hope this is an appropriate topic for this board. If not, I appreciate any guidance. I'm a newbie! I bought an XP-50 in 1998 and didn't use it much.

I’m also interested in this bc I have an XP50 that was in storage for 20 years. While being worked on it gave off a strong fish smell and I was told this was a known symptom. It would be a pity for this machine to wind up in the landfill. It is otherwise looking virtually perfect. :(

XP 50's not a bad workstation for its time (1995). There are guides on YouTube to service it yourself. For a single key fault, you may only need a screwdriver, a cleaning cloth, contact cleaner etc. It's probably just a duff contact on 1 key. They go for between $250-$400 dollars 2nd hand. It's pro...

Hi - Total newbie here (not a true player) so please forgive me if this is way off topic, somehow out of line or should be in a separate thread. Where does the XP-50 fall in the realm of Roland keyboards? I bought one in 1998 and recently unearthed it from storage. It was virtually unused and still ...
