Original XP Demo Songs

Below are 16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo 192 kbps MP3 encodings of the original XP-80 demonstration songs found on the XP80 DEMO floppy disk. All audio recordings are the property of their respective composers (as found below and in the ID3 information tags within each file) and are provided below for educational and informational purposes only. The original SVQ sequence files were recorded in April 2012 using Logic Pro 9. The original sequences were played through a Roland JV-2080 and SR-JV80-09 Session expansion board (where required by the original sequence, as noted below). I used a JV-2080 because I no longer have my XP-80. The orignal SVQ files were played from a Roland Fantom-X8 with MIDI going to the JV-2080. There were no recording or audio effects added (other than normalizing each track to maximum volume). Track 3 was faded out at the end using Logic because the original sequence used XP-80 proprietary sequencer messages to fade out the audio which does not exist in the Fantom-X8 and JV-2080.
