Roland Sonic Cell vs. XV-5050

[Vhz]

Which one would be better if working with computer based sequencer?

soniccell easily takes this...its usb, comes with sonar, and has an audio interface.

my vote is for the sonniccell....I think its a no brainer.

XV-5050 has USB also.

( I personally don't care about the audio interface)

Soniccell has a superb integeration via VST/AU plugin - For computerbased production a great selling point, i think.

IMHO I think the patches in the soniccell are cleaner and more versatile than the XV-5050. With my setup, the audio interface was not important. But if I wanted to record a live show, I could bring my laptop and I am good to go with the soniccell.

does sonic cell have those old famous Roland sounds like "12-string guitar" "fantasia" etc...

I watched few videos, SonicCell sounds like an arranger-keyboard sounds, most patches exactly like va series, e-series auto-arrangers...

does xv-5050 comes with an editor?

 

[JMaCTraX]

it has the fantom X engine

 

[Vhz]

is it possible to use XV editor with Roland xv-3080, or is the editor only for xv5050, 5080, 2020 ?

i just ordered a soniccell, the fact it integrates itself with a DAW is what did it for me since most of my production is computer based.
