Roland JV-1080 Super JV Rack Synth Module synthesizer

Description: While this Roland JV-1080 shows signs of use (minor scrapes and other wear), it’s in perfect working order. Used on more recordings than any other module in history, it has a full range of acclaimed Roland sounds, as well as four expansion slots. It’s a sample-based synthesizer and sound module housed in a 2U rack format. The JV-1080 features a 64-Voice Polyphony, as well as 16-part Multi-timbral capabilities. It has hundreds of patches, and several rhythm kits. 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. * Pro sound module with 64-voice polyphony and 16-part multitimbral operation. * Four expansion board slots for use with SR-JV80-Series Expansion Boards. * Large display for easy access to comprehensive editing parameters. * Built-in reverb, chorus and 40 different "insert" effects such as rotary, phaser, pitch shift and tempo delay, plus ring modulation. Sound Engine and Architecture: The JV-1080 is based on sample playback synthesis. It features a combination of PCM (pulse-code modulation) samples and basic subtractive synthesis. Each of the 64 voices can play a different sound, and the 16-part multitimbral capability allows you to layer or split sounds across different MIDI channels. The architecture includes oscillators (sample playback), filters, envelopes, LFOs (low-frequency oscillators), and effects. Waveforms and Patches: The factory patches cover a wide range of sounds: pianos, strings, brass, pads, drums, and more. Some iconic presets include “Orchestra Hit,” “Fantasia,” and “Techno Kit.” You can also create your own patches by combining waveforms, adjusting filter settings, and applying modulation. Expansion Cards: The JV-1080 supports SR-JV80 expansion cards. These cards add new waveforms, patches, and effects. Popular cards include “Vintage Synth,” “World,” and “Orchestral.” Effects and Processing: The built-in effects include reverb, chorus, delay, and EQ. These can be applied globally or per patch. It also has a multi-effects processor that allows chaining multiple effects together. MIDI Implementation: MIDI connectivity is essential for controlling the JV-1080. It responds to MIDI note data, modulation, pitch bend, and other MIDI messages. You can use it as a sound module alongside a MIDI keyboard controller. Along with countless film composers, here’s a sample list of just a very few of the many musicians who have recorded with the JV-1080: Tame Impala, 808 State, Depeche Mode, Dubstar, Hans Zimmer, Michael Jackson, Vangelis, Tony Banks, Paul Van Dyk, Scissor Sisters. The JV-1080’s core sampled waveforms were developed by Roland R&D-LA, and it remains a classic choice for its high-quality sounds and versatility. An amazing, iconic, historically significant synth.
