The JV-2080 has three modes: Performance, Patch, and
Rhythm. Performance mode allows you to have multiple
instruments playing at the same time, which is ideal for
sequencing. Each Performance contains up to 15 different
Patches, plus a Rhythm Kit. To configure your MIDI gear
with the JV-2080, connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT
of your MIDI interface or hardware sequencer to the MIDI IN
of the JV-2080. The JV-2080 contains many preset
Performances that can be used for sequencing. Lets take a
look at one of these Performances and get familiar with
some of the parameters commonly used when sequencing.
1) Press PERFORM, so it is lit.
2) Press PRESET (located in the upper right section of
the front panel).
3) Use the VALUE dial to select Preset A: 01 [Seq:Pop].
This Performance is ideal for sequencing because each
Part is set to its own MIDI channel.
4) Press F3[PART] to access the Part parameters includ-
ing volume, panning, etc.
5) Press F6[PALETTE]. Now, instead of
looking at the parameters for a single
Part, we can see the parameters for
eight Parts at the same time (see Fig.1).
6) Use the CURSOR buttons to select the
desired Part(1-16).
7) Set the MIDI transmit channel on your keyboard to
match the number of the Part you want to hear. For
example, MIDI channel 1 plays the instrument (Patch)
assigned to Part 1. MIDI channel 2 plays Part 2, etc.
In addition to choosing sounds from the front panel, all of the
sounds in the JV-2080 can be accessed through MIDI. There
are 128 Program Change messages available in MIDI. For
instruments that contain more than 128 sounds, Bank Select
messages (continuous controllers 0 and 32) are used to select
groups (banks) of Patches. The JV-2080 uses controller 0 to
select the main Patch bank that you want (e.g., internal mem-
ory, card, or expansion board), then it uses controller 32 to
choose the appropriate sub-bank (e.g., expansion board A,
Patches 1-128). Software sequencers (e.g., Cubase, Logic,
Performer, Vision, Cakewalk) often have built-in Patch lists for
various MIDI instruments. Simply
