The JV-2080 has eight expansion slots for SR-JV80
Expansion Boards. Some of these expansion boards (e.g.,
SR-JV80-10 Bass & Drums, SR-JV80-11 Techno, SR-JV80-
12 Hiphop) have phrase/beatloops that are set to play at a
specified tempo. The JV-2080 allows each tone [1]-[4] used
in a Patch to be synced to a sequencer’s clock so that the
tempos match. This ‘sync’ feature enables you to manipu-
late beatloop tempos to match the tempo of your song. Use
the following procedure to set the JV-2080 to sync a
phrase/beatloop to an external MIDI clock source:
1) Hold PERFORM and press PATCH.
2) Press F2[WG] to select the Waveform Display page.
3) Press F1[WG Prm] to
select the Waveform
Parameter page (see

4) Use the CURSOR buttons
to select a Tone [1]-[4]
which uses a wave
(phrase/beatloop) that has
a tempo (BPM) display.
5) Use the VALUE dial to set the Tone Delay Mode to
“TEMPO-SYNC.”
6) Press PERFORM.
7) Press F1[COMMON] to display the Performance
Common parameters.
