Although in this live all the marks on the keyboards are covered you can easly spot the XP-80 as main keyboard in Jean's rig, under the JV-90

"Another board I bought from Sam Ash when I was a teenager was the Roland XP-80. I thought that was “gold.” It still has some patches on there that I love." - Cory Henry

XP-80 was Gillian's main synth for New Order's performance at the Reading Festival in 1998. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItSrB3LONyE It can be seen clearly at the 2:08 mark of this performance of "True Faith."

Visconti states in this interview with Roland: "I first bought a Jupiter-8 in the ‘70s: I still have it and it still works fantastically well. My oldest son, Morgan, started playing on that thing when he was about ten. It’s been in the family for years and it still gets used on recordings. Since then, I’ve had most of the Roland keyboards and modules like the XP-80, Fantom, JV-1080, XV-5080 and even the M-GS64. Back in the ’80s, I was programming with the MC-4 for The Moody Blues and others."

In the attached article, Masego shares that he was gifted an XP-80 when he was 10.

„The acid synth is something I made on a Roland XP-80 and sampled into Impulse Tracker WAY back when. The “.S3M” is a reference to my first tracker, Scream Tracker. Quartz is definitely about reconnecting with those times, so that synth on its own kicking everything off felt special.”

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:
