Everything is ditable! The edition is not just beginners, but at least we can go far in the trs synthse sound: vive Roland!
Expander trs pro: versatile
(A function trs pro: the possibility of empillage 2-JV-1080 at the same time to gain polyphony)
Possde 3 audio outputs: it gnial (IDAL for the use of DSP effects to the mix)
Midi In / Out / Thru
(No PC to Host, USB or other: it is a shame requires the use of a MIDI Merge Box or to play on a keyboard matre same time as applications on computer!)
UTILIZATION
This expander me parat ultra simple. That said, I have always been instruments of Roland. The organization and WRITING paramtres main memory on the users is the same XP SERIES.
The edition of the sounds is near the trs Roland D-20.
I hardly needed the manual.
In my opinion, the hardest part is to assay the effects in performance mode (16 games). D'APRS advice I read, the JV-2080 allows more flexibility! ...
Access in sound banks is rapidly trs: User A (C and D with expansion cards), Preset ABCD (D = standard GM), Exp ABCD (for cards SRJV).
In addition, the sounds are real trs classs, even not need a search function!
The manual is clear trs.
Many speak a notch a little small for the edition, I think it's more than enough. When I immerse myself in the edition of the JV-1080, I also put the computer software changeit is faster.
((((( To load sounds on the JV should be two things:
- A standard MIDI cable connection between a PC and the JV-1080. It plugs into the joystick port or SERIES. There are also USB (more expensive) ...
- A transfer software give (sysex = Systm exclusive). Changeit is the best (and more is free) that allows you to save all give the JV: paramtres system, performance, drumset, patches ... Paramtrage level, it is ultra-simple and recognizes the all SR-JV cards: you just need to tell it o is the SR-JV cards (A? B? C? Or D?).

Then, to find sounds, just search with any search engine with keywords: sys (or sysex) JV patches (or XP is the same sound gnrateur) . Normally, there are sites like this:
http://www.jvxp.com/download/patches/pad.html
The only problem we encounter are the "single patches" that require additional software to be able to tranfrer. For example: Sound Diver or software of its kind squenceur Cakewalk or Cubase .))))
SOUNDS
The sounds are really great! Varis trs, trs rich there for every taste!
I think they are quite in ralistes gnral, but for more ism, do not add maps hsiter SR-JV80 Expansion (these all possdent best sounds available from Roland).
Like all expanders, there are no sounds trsrussies. The piano, for example, is not that great ...
With the internet there are tons of patches for sries XP / JV. Before sorting, I Tlcharger over 4000 sounds. By keeping the best (I struggled to sort out, I wondered if I would not buy a deuxime JV-1080), I russi keep less than 256 sounds . Now I have piano sounds much better than the presets. The acoustic guitars are trsralistes (those I Tlcharger or say). Tablecloths and spciaux effects are amazing! The orchestral sounds are also good, the voices too.
The SR-JV80 allow our answer to the perfectionist!
Vintages for sound, this is really gnial expander: you can rebuild without any problem all the sounds of Juno, Jupiter, Moog, TB 303, D-50 and other ...
In short, for the sick of the edition (like me), the expander is a jewel!
OVERALL OPINION
In conclusion, good value qualitprix trs. And especially not if that has DMOD! An expander XV, is never a JV with a new programming and new components (and gnrateur DSP) ...
I'm really not with my purchase. Frankly, I do not know if I sold it one day so I'm satisfied. In addition to the quality of audio output is the height of the bte: the nuances and richness of the sounds are perfectly rendered.
