SOUND
SOURCE
AND
CONTROLLERS
The JV-80 has a buiil-in sound source that provides the
sonic
"building
blocks" for the sound. The keyboard
and
other various
controllers
(such as
the sliders
and pedals), are used to control the sound source, resulting in the final
sound output. The sound source and
the
controiiers of the
JV-80
are shown in the illustration below.

This is
used to play the sounds. It also lets
you continuously change the various
elements of the
sound
according to how
hard you strike a key (velocity)
and
how
strongly
you press
down
on a
key
after
it
has been
pressed (aftertouch). Effects
such as
vibrato
and pitch
bend can be obtained depending
on the
settings.
The pitch
alone can be changed
by
moving
the lever
laterally (to the right
and left). Pressing the lever
forward
lets you continuously
change various aspects
of the sound.
Generally, this is used
to apply
effects such as vibrato
and tremolo.
