Differences from the JV-1080
The JV-2080 was the successor to the JV-1080, one of the most famous rack-mount synthesizers of the 1990s. Expanding on the original patches that were on the JV-1080 by adding a new bank of 128 new patches while only using the same internal waves that were included in the JV-1080. These 128 new patches were included in a new bank: PR-E (or Preset Bank E)
With the inclusion of PR-E, There were also many other improvements that were made. Instead of only 4x SR-JV80 card slots, The JV-2080 includes 8 total SR-JV80 Expansion slots.
With the inclusion of more powerful hardware with EFX, the JV-2080's performance mode allows up to 3 types of EFX to be used at once. Therefore you can route 3 different EFX types to different parts of your performance.
With the inclusion of the new PR-E bank on the JV-2080, The USER Bank is also different. The USER bank on the JV-2080 is a collection of patches from PR-E that were reorganized to be a "Best Of" series of patches.
The JV-2080 contained a bigger display and front panel similar to that of what was on the Roland JD-990, Containing a 320x80 Green Backlit LCD Display.
The JV-2080 also included 4 total Character Styles in the settings. These change the 2080's Patch text appearance. Types 1 and 2 are from the JD-990. All 4 types are also on the XV-5080.
- Type 1 had bold text, with mild spacing in between letters and moderate spacing between punctuation & spacing.
- Type 2 had standard text, with mild spacing in between letters and moderate spacing between punctuation & spacing.
- Type 3 had bold text, with little spacing in between letters and little spacing between punctuation & spacing.
- Type 4 had standard text, with little spacing in between letters and little spacing between punctuation & spacing.
The JV-2080 has many of the same features as the JV-1080, so please read the JV-1080 article for information not listed here.
