The Roland JV-1080, XP-50 and XP-80 each have sixteen 12-note-per-octave tuning tables. Even the low-priced XP-10 has one 12-note-per-octave user tuning table. The XP-10's $895 list price probably qualifies it as the least expensive microtonal keyboard ever marketed. It's refreshing to see microtonal support, no matter how limited, in an instrument in this price range. Older Roland models with microtuning include the SC-50, SC-55mkII, SC-88, M-GS64, JV-90 and JV-880.
