The [[Roland JV-90]] is a successor to the [[Roland JV-80]], implementing with it a slightly expanded list of waveforms (129 to 152), extra sound banks, VE series expandability (which can add either a GS-based synth or another JV-90 based synth), and a 76-note keyboard with both velocity and aftertouch sensitivity.

Apart from this, it is largely the same product as the previous iteration, with the same limitations.

==Oddities==
* While you can access the JV-80's preset banks from the JV-90, doing so requires holding down the PCM CARD (A/B) while pressing the USER button.<ref>Roland JV-90 Owner's Manual, page 129.</ref>
** The last patch, labeled B8-8, is Analog Seq on the JV-80, however on the JV-90 it is "INITIAL DATA" instead. The manual states that patch D8-6 is equivalent to Analog Seq on the new synthesizer.
** Some JV-80 patches have been ported over to some of the new banks, or very similar sounds exist, so doing this may not be required at all.

==Roland JV-1000==
The Roland JV-1000 is a variant of the JV-90 that adds a Roland MC-50mkII based sequencer and a floppy disk drive.
