The JV-2080 has eight expansion slots for SR-JV80
Expansion Boards. Some of these expansion boards (e.g.,
SR-JV80-10 Bass & Drums, SR-JV80-11 Techno, SR-JV80-
12 Hiphop) have phrase/beatloops that are set to play at a
specified tempo. The JV-2080 allows each tone [1]-[4] used
in a Patch to be synced to a sequencers clock so that the
tempos match. This sync feature enables you to manipu-
late beatloop tempos to match the tempo of your song. Use

phrase/beatloop to an external MIDI clock source:
