The Roland JV-2080 Synthesizer Module builds on the power

of the popular Super JV-1080 Synthesizer Module. This versa-

tile 16-part multitimbral synthesizer module features 64-voices

of polyphony and a total of 768 Patches including a bank for

General MIDI. The JV-2080’s eight expansion slots for SR-

JV80 Expansion Boards provide a wide palette of sounds for

any project. Five effect processors and cool sync features offer

additional tools. If you are new to the JV-2080 and would like

an overview of some basic concepts, refer to the JV-2080

TurboStart, which is available from our FaxBack system (docu-

ment #20054) or from our Website (www.rolandus.com). This

supplemental document is not meant to be a replacement of

the the Owner’s Manual, but simply a collection of answers to
