The Roland JV-1080 (Super JV, Super JV-1080, or simply 1080) is a sample-based synthesizer/sound module in the form of a 2U rack. The JV-1080's synthesizer engine was also used in Roland's XP-50 workstation (1995). Due to its library of high-quality sounds and multi-timbral capabilities, it became a mainstay with film composers.[2]

Features

The JV-1080 features a 64-Voice Polyphony, as well as 16-part Multi-timbral capabilities. From the factory, the JV-1080 comes with hundreds of patches, and several rhythm kits (8 megabytes total). It can be expanded with up to 4 SR-JV80 expansion cards, as well as a PCM and Data card, to provide up to 42 megabytes.

Factory Sounds

The core sampled waveforms of the JV-1080 were developed by Roland R&D-LA in Culver City, California.

Many of the most well-known Factory presets and Xpansion board sounds of the JV-series were created by Eric Persing of Spectrasonics and Ace Yukawa.

Expansion Cards

The SR-JV80 expansion cards can be used in the Roland XP-50, XP-60, XP-80, JV-1080 and XV-5080, which can each hold four expansion cards, as well as the JV-2080, which can hold eight expansion cards.[9] [10]

The three Experience expansion boards contain a selection of sounds from different expansion boards in a single card.[11]
