There is no 'wave rom' as in what is in the Fantom-G. It's using exclusively SuperNATURAL-based sound engines with multiple behavior.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the primary way analog audio signals are converted into digital form by taking samples of the waveforms from 8 to 192 thousand times per second (8 to 192 kHz) and recording each sample as a digital number from 8 to 24 bits long. PCM data are unprocessed digital audio samples.From what Vince LaDuca is saying the Jupiter-80 has 350 PCM waves that are separate and in addition to the modeling waves that drive the virtual analog synth section. My understanding is that Roland is using a new form of PCM data that is different from what is typically found on keyboards such as the Fantom G. The PCM data is possibly similar (or perhaps the same) as what's found on the V-Piano. Roland appears to now be moving beyond the 'old technology'.wav rom producing process and are entering a new frontier of 'adaptive modeling' PCM technology going forward it seems. Out with the old.
In with the new I guess.:)With this seeming breakthrough in technology it has brought a new dimension of 'realism' to the forefront and the prospects are really exciting as we have seen and heard. Roland has the opportunity to 'surpass' the other Big Two with this achievement too in my opinion. The Jupiter-80 appears to now be the keyboard to beat, since the Yammie Motif XF can't really compare sound quality wise if you ask me and the Korg Kronos appears inferior (in overall sound quality) as well too perhaps.
We'll know more about the Kronos once Korg (if Korg) ever produces anymore professional demos that would highlight it in such a way that we could better determine its overall sound prowess. Korg is currently laying low (holding back) regarding the Kronos if you ask me.
The demos are few and far between and some of their newer website demos don't seem to put the Kronos in the best light possible, in my opinion. Some of the audio demos of the Kronos actually sound kind of cheap if you ask me.
