MIDI Sequencing with the Roland JV-1080
The Roland JV-1080 is a 64-voice polyphonic, 16-Part multitimbral synthesizer sound module. It includes
512 instrument sounds and 8 drum kits. It also has three sets of stereo outputs and 40 digital effects
including chorus, rotary speaker, distortion, reverb, and delay. This supplement is a basic guide for using the
Roland JV-1080 in combination with other MIDI instruments such as MIDI keyboards and sequencers. WeÕll
start with an overview of the instrument which includes important terminology for each of the three
operating modes. Then, weÕll review some basic operations. In the section called ÒSetting-up a MIDI
Keyboard as a ControllerÓ youÕll learn how to play a Patch, change Patch Banks, and play a Rhythm Kit.
The remaining sections will take you through setting-up a Performance for sequencing, using MIDI
messages to select sounds, using the effects, configuring real-time controllers, and saving a Performance to
a user location. To get the most out of this supplement, remember to take your time as you study each
section. We will now begin with an overview of the JV-1080.
I.
Overview
Before we begin, you should develop a good understanding of the terminology used in the JV-1080. This
will make it easier to understand how it is organized.
Tone
A Tone is the primary source of sound on the JV-1080. It is essentially the ÒrawÓ waveform of a given
instrument. For example: a clarinet Tone would be the actual digital sample or recording of a clarinet. Any
four Tones can be used simultaneously in a Patch.
Patch
A Patch is an individual, ÒplayableÓ sound that is comprised of up to four Tones. In a Patch, Tones can be
enhanced with added characteristics using such things as TVA, TVF, LFOs, and effects processing. The
Patch is typically what you play from a keyboard or controller.
Performance
A Performance is a multitimbral combination of up to 15 Patches and 1 Rhythm Set. In a Performance,
each Patch can have its own level (volume), panning (stereo placement), tuning, MIDI channel, and other
parameters. There are 32 User Performances (that you can customize) and 64 Preset Performances.
Part
A Part is one of 16 locations in a Performance which contains a Patch or Rhythm Kit. It also contains
additional information such as MIDI channel and key range. Each Part can be assigned its own instrument
(Patch) and MIDI channel. For sequencing purposes, each Part should be set to its own independent MIDI
channel (as in Performance PR A: 12 Pop Set 1).
Layer and Split
A layer allows you to play two or more Parts (Patches) simultaneously (such as Piano and Strings). This is
accomplished by setting two or more Parts (in a Performance) to the same MIDI channel. A split keyboard
can be achieved in a similar manner by assigning multiple Parts to the same MIDI channel and then
assigning different key ranges to each of the Parts. A common usage of the split keyboard is to assign a bass
sound to the left side of the keyboard and a piano sound to the right.
Rhythm Mode
The Rhythm Mode is where youÕll find the 10 built-in drum kits that can be used in a Performance. Editing
of the drum kits is accomplished in this mode.
