Roland JV-80 - Page 4

HOW
TO USE
THIS
MANUAL
This
manual consists of the
following sections describing the
respective modes
of the JV-80. Though we
recommend that
you
take time to
read through this entire
manual once, those
who
have
a
general knowledge
about synthesizers can read
the desired
sections as needed when
using the instrument.
The
explanations contained in the
pages you refer to have
been made
as
comprehensive as possible. Since many
functions and
operations throughout the
JV-80 are quite
similar,
you
may find
repetition of the same or similar
information in several
sections.
Section 1 : Setting Up
and Playing the
JV-80
This
section covers preparation before
play, ROM Play
operations, connection to
external devices, and trying out
the various

Section

This section covers
the structure of the
sound sources of the

Section

:
Play
This
section covers the
operations for using the JV-80
in the
Play

Hn
the Play section and
the Edit section, concrete
application
examples are given
before explanation of the
parameters of a

The resulting sound

the basic functions
of each

the full names
are written next to

the editable range
of the

Please keep in
mind that there
may be
slight differences between
the data
(like in sound
program
names) in factory
settings and
the displays
shown in the
manual.
This section includes
a list of error
messages, a sound
program data
list and MIDI
implementation. Also, an Index
of operations and the
main index will help
you in using this
manual. By using the
index of operations, you
can quickly
find the
pages that contain information
about the
operations
and functions you want to
know about.
