Although it has its mark covered whit black tape, the JV-90 is on center of Jean's rig over the XP-80. He use it pratically for every lead sound.

When Toby performs "Too Youg To Die", he turns to the side, and uses the Jv-90.

Eric Persing has had a unique and influential relationship with Roland Corp for two decades. He started as a product demonstrator in 1984, showing some of Roland's first MIDI instruments. He quickly became involved in the R&D side with Roland Japan, earning the title "Chief Sound Designer", and began contributing his design ideas, real-world studio experience and sound design expertise. Persing's skills have left their mark on countless classic Roland instruments.

He is the originator of many legendary Roland sounds that have become part of the vocabulary and lexicon of musical sound. These include the Factory D-50 sounds such as Fantasia, Soundtrack and Digital Native Dance, a majority of the JV/XP/XV series Classics, all the Factory JD-800 sounds, the original Juno "Hoover" sound and thousands of others.

Here is a partial list of the Roland instruments that Eric has contributed his sound design, sampling and design consulting skills:

"NM: I was running Cubase on a Windows PC. I had a multi-port MIDI interface which allowed me to communicate with multiple external devices. For synthesizers I had a Roland JV90, and a Roland JV1080 which is the rack version of the JV90. Both of these were equipped with the Orchestral 1 & 2 Expansion Boards and the World Expansion Board. I also had an Ensoniq SQ1-Plus but I was using it less and less as I progressed with my orchestral scores – it wasn’t so good at producing real orchestral instrument sounds. I had a few other bits and pieces, an Ensoniq multi-effects rack and a Focusrite compressor, and that was about it."

The utilization of the Roland JV-90 synthesizer by Tyson Leslie, a distinguished singer and keyboardist, is verified through a detailed inventory listing on BandMix.com, which comprehensively catalogs Leslie's musical equipment. This listing serves as direct evidence of his choice in synthesizers, confirming his use of the Roland JV-90.

At 50:45, you can see Julie Greaux performing a keyboard solo with Axel Rudi Pell's band, using a Roland JV-90, as captured in the video "Axel Rudi Pell - 1995 Live at Zeche, Bochum (Germany)" uploaded by Dima Vy on YouTube.
