MODES
The sound
programs of the JV-80
Perfonnance
Synthesizer
can
be called up
and played in two
different ways.
One is by
using a Patch,
which
is the basic sound
program
of the instrument,
and
the other is
by using a
Performance, which
is a combination
of seven Patches
and one Rhythm
Set.
Different modes
are available
depending
on which
sound program
(Patch or Performance)
is selected.
Patch
Play mode
(P.30)
This mode
plays sourxJs
by
calling
up one
Patch at a time.
By using the eight
sliders
or an
optional foot
pedal,
you can make
various
realtime changes
in the sound
and
volume
and even
change sound
programs
as
you play. This mode
lets you
operate
the JV-80 as
you would
a conventional
synthesizer.
Performance
Play
mode
(P.51)
Since
a Performance
can
combine
up to eight
different Patches,
much thicker
and
richly textured
sound
programs
can be created.
Performances
can also
be used to
create
ensemble
sounds
by using
different Patches
to play different
parts. This
mode also
lets you add
dynamic
changes
and movement to your
music by changing
the volume
and pan settings
for each
Patch
as they are played.
Patch Edit
mode
(P.78)
This
mode is used
to access
the
synthesizer sound
creation features
of the
instrument.
In this
mode, you
can change
the various elements
which determine
the
character
of the
sound programs
and
create new Patches.
Performance
Edit
mode
(P. 11
5)
By combining
seven Patches
and
one Rhythm
Set as component
parts of a sound,
this mode lets
you set
the overall
sound or
effect that you wish
to create. In
this
mode,
the JV-80
can adapt
to a wide
range of applications.
It can
be used as a
keyboard
for live
performance,
in which
you can make
dynamic changes
to the
sound as
you play by
key velocity
or by using
connected pedals.
It can also be
set
up as
an all-purpose
multiple
sound source
for desktop music
and home studio
applications.
Rhythm
Edit mode
(P.I
39)
This mode changes
the
settings
of the Rhythm Set
that is assigned
to a
Performance.
A Rhythm
Set is a group
of individual Rhythm
Tones, which
are
assigned
to each
key of
the keyboard.
This mode also allows
you to set various
parameters
that
control and change
the sound
of each Rhythm Tone.
^
In
addition to
the modes mentioned
above,
there is a Write Mode
(P.I
54)
which
allows
you to store and
organize
your original
sound program data.
