MAIN
FEATURES
OF
THE JV-80
The JV-80
is an
advanced synthesizer with
buiit-in sound
sources that give you a
wide range of sound
shaping features.
These
allow you to use
flexible filter (TVF) and
amplifier (TVA)
controls to process the
various high-quality
sound elements.
Because of the
rich built-in sound
sources and the
comprehensive MIDI
control functions which let
you make changes to
the sounds
and various
parameters in realtime,
the JV-80 is ideal for
both live performance
situations and desktop music
applications.
#
Various Modes
for Powerful
Performance Potential
The JV-80 features
two operating modes: the
Patch Play
mode, which enables you to
use the full
expressive
capabilities of the JV-80 by
playing a single sound
in
realtime, and the
Performance Play mode, which allows
you
to play eight different Parts
(internal sound sources)
over
eight different MIDI channels. In the Key
mode, there is a
Solo mode that lets you make
special key assignments,
along with
portamento for playing
expressive melody lines in
legato.
#
Wide Range
of Sound Waveforms
Naturally, the JV-80
provides basic synthesizer waveforms,
such as the sawtooth
wave,
square
wave and pulse
wave.
It
also features
built-in waveforms that have various
frequency
elements or short 'actual' sounds.
Since waveforms can be processed by
FXM (Frequency
Cross-Modulation), the JV-80
is capable of satisfying the
most demanding sound programming
applications, from
recreating realistic sounds to
producing unusual,
otherworldly effects. New
waveforms can also be added by
installing the optional PCM card or
expansion board.
•
Ease
of Operation
In order to simplify
play and edit operations,
the JV-80 has a
large LCD
display
(40
characters by 2 lines)
with
corresponding soft keys which
are used to directly select the
assigned
parameters in the display.
#
Convenient
Performance
Functions
Even during performance,
the sound programs and their
parameters can be adjusted
in realtime (and
over
MIDI)
with
the use
of the Parameter Sliders.
This makes it easy to
adjust
the sound to match the
performance situation or the
character of the song.
•
Multi-timbral
Operation
The JV-80 features
multi-timbral capacity with seven
independent
synthesizer Parts and one
rhythm Part. This
allows you to create the sound
of
an
ensemble or group with
just the JV-80, controlling the
sound sources over MIDI.
#
Memory
Card
By
using an optional DATA card
(M-256E), the internal
settings can be stored. Sound
program data which is stored
on the DATA
card can be called up for use
while playing.
Built-in Digital Effects
Chorus and
reverb effects are built into the JV-80. Rich
stereo effects that add
spaciousness and depth to the sound
can be
gained
by
using chorus and reverb.
# Flexible Realtime Parameter
Control
Control
over individual
parameters can be
assigned
to
the
sliders or footswitches/pedals. The expressive potential is
enormous, since a wide range of parameters can be
selected
for independent and simultaneous control.
•
Convenient
Panic Function
The JV-80 has a panic function that
lets you quickly cut off
'stuck' notes
when using the unit to control other
MIDI
sound
sources.
#
Touch-sensitive Keyboard
The keyboard of the JV-80 features velocity
and
aftertouch
sensitivity.
This allows you to change the tonal quality and
volume of the sound
by how strongly you hit the keys or how
strongly
you
press
down on them after hitting them.
