i think it should be good to
remind you that you can combine
sounds using the performance. this
way you can easily get totally
amazing sounds.  that is how you
can do it:  
1. switch to
performance 
2. press the midi
-button 
3. put -say- 4 patches to
channel 1
	or just take PR-B 27 All
	Bells and edit it!  (it
depends on how many different
patches you use, if every patch
uses 4 parts then you have not
many voices left. {64/4/3 = ~5
voices left} but that could be
sufficient, especially if you are
in a life-performance or if you
have other synthies that produce
the rest.  (or: is there still
someone who playes along with real
instruments :-)?)  
4. okay, now it
is your time to choose patches and
combine them.  i have done some
wonderful sounds by just combining
presets.  when i had the
impression that it could be good
to have a different mailing list
from the already existing jv80
mailing list back in jan 95 i
argued that one could combine
patches within the performance
because of the 64 voices that the
jv-1080 has got.  (try that on a
jv-80, a k2000 or some other < 64
synth :-) you soon get out of
voices).
 someone mailed me the
other day asking about the
programming of organ-sounds.  i
told him to combine
preset-patches, perhaps to switch
off some tones of a patch and save
that as a new patch that allows 64
voices (not too many patches allow
64 voices per se!)

perhaps that may help someone
else.
