Outstanding
Expandability
In
addition to
conventional
DATA and
PCM cards,
the
JV-1DBO can
also house

expanded
dramatically.
•
Multiple Outputs
The

sets
of stereo outputs
—
MIX

OUTPUT 2.
These
independent out-
put
jacks let you add
different
external effects
to different
soimds
for sophisticated
mixing.
• Easy
Operation
Each
operational mode
is directly
activated by its
own but-
ton, while
Function Select
buttons also
simplify
operation.
• General
MIDI
System Supported
The
JV
features a
General MIDI
System mode
that makes
playing music with
other MIDI
modules,
devices and com-
puters a
breeze.
•
The
General MIDI
System is a
recommended
standard
for
the functions
of MIDI
sound
modules. It was
designed
for the creation
of music
data that is
not restricted to a
par-
ticular manufacturer
or
model.
Sound
modules
and song
data that
conform to
the
General MIDI
System carry the
GM
logo
(
Mi'gi
)-
Any
song data
bearing the
GM logo can
be played on
any sound
module also
bearing the GM
logo.
