ROLAND JV-1080 SUPER JV SYNTHESIZER GUIDE
========================================================================

The JV-1080 represents a new generation in Roland sound technology.
Featuring a brand new RISC processor, it offers enhanced sonic
creation  potential with new programming structures and effects
processing, smooth  and expressive performance qualities, monstrous
expandability, and yet maintains compatibility with the existing line
of popular Roland JV- Series synthesizers. It builds on the JV-Series,
adding 64 voice polyphony, 16 part multitimbral operation, new
waveforms, and simultaneous access up to 42 Mb of data with four
optional SR-JV80 Expansion Boards. These impressive sound sources
combine with extensive sound structures and professional quality
multi-effects, positioning the JV-1080 Super JV as the new reference
standard for synthesizer sound modules.

The LFOs can be synced to MIDI clock - very cool, especially for dance
oriented music!  Effects parameters can be controlled thru MIDI in
realtime.  Effects can be routed to any output per Performance, not
just the Mix outputs, for flexible mixing.  Effect parameters can be
copied between Patch and Performance modes for easier programming.  Rx
MIDI Volume and Pan switches per Tone within the Patch provides more
sonic control.  Velocity Mix and Crossfade per Tone for greater
expression.  The Waveform Booster increases the waveform's amplitude -
great for basses, or for digital distortion effects.
