The '''Roland JV-2080''' is a synth in the [[Roland JV series]], which improves upon the [[JV-1080]] that came out two years prior. Its notable additions consist of an extra bank, two extra EFX slots for performances, four additional [[SR-JV80]] expansion board slots (making a total of eight), as well as a full-screen 320x80 LCD display, similar to what was featured on the [[Roland JD-990]]. The PCM card slot is removed.

== Differences from the JV-1080 ==
 
The JV-2080 was the successor to the [[Roland JV-1080|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 [[Roland JD-990|JD-990]]. All 4 types are also on the [[Roland XV-5080|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 [[Roland JV-1080|JV-1080]] article for information not listed here.

Secret Functions on the JV-2080

The JV-2080 Test Menu

The JV-2080 has a secret menu that was made for testing purposes that can be used to test your JV-2080 system functionality to make sure all functions work as intended.[2]

This mode was primarily used by repair shops so that they could ensure all parts replaced were working, or that the JV-2080 system was functional.


It is important to note that if you are accessing this menu, all USER settings WILL BE ERASED. Be sure to back up ALL of your USER data and patches before attempting to access this menu.[2]


You can access this menu by doing the following:

1. Power Off your JV-2080
2. Press & Hold the VALUE, INC, and DEC buttons.
3. While holding those buttons, Power on your JV-2080[2]

Functionality of the Test menu is as follows:

Main Menu
This is the main menu, showing the text "JV2080 TEST" written out in the letters JV2080 TEST. (Seen below) You can also view the CPU Version, the PUB Version, and the ROM Version here.[2]
Note, You can also access your CPU, PUB, and ROM Versions without this menu by going into Utility, and pressing down Tone Switch 1 and F6.[2]

From this screen, you can navigate to each built-in test for the JV-2080.
F1 - EXP Board Test
This is a test for the EXP Boards on your JV-2080, If an SR-JV80 Wave Expansion board is installed in your JV-2080, it will appear with "OK" under the EXP slot it was installed into.[2]
F2 - MIDI Test
This is a test for MIDI Connectivity. The JV-2080 will output the MIDI Hexidecimal value "FE" for Active Sensing. Once the JV-2080 has received this same value, it marks the connection as OK. Stopping the MIDI Signal will move the JV-2080 onto the next test automatically.[2]
F3 - CARD Test
This is a test the CARD slot functionality. It will test the Battery, Protect Switch, Format, and R/W Speeds of the Data Card.[2]
  • Before testing this, it is advised to back-up ALL DATA stored on a Data Card via System Exclusive messages.
F4 - Switch & LED Test
This is a test for all of the buttons, and lights on a JV-2080. In order to proceed, you must press every button at least once. The LCD will display how many buttons are remaining, and what buttons have yet to be pressed.[2]
Each key press corresponds to a different note that is played when pressed.
Once pressing all of these buttons, the JV-2080 will allow you to move onto the next test.
F5 - LCD & Encoder Test
This is a test for the LCD Display, and the VALUE Encoder knob. The display will ask you to press VALUE to check the LCD. Simply press VALUE and the entire LCD will display all pixels lit for you to check for dead pixels.
Scrolling the VALUE Knob will change the contrast of the display.[2]
10 lights will light up to indicate the current contrast value, from 1 to 10. 1 being Tone Switch 1, and 10 being RX Toggle
To proceed from this test, Simply press F6.[2]
F6 - Sound Test
This is a test for the Audio Outputs on the JV-2080. Upon pressing the VALUE knob, The JV will play a sine wave out of the MIX output. Pressing the VALUE Knob will proceed the checks to the various outputs on the JV-2080, such as DIR1, DIR2, and 2 options for PHONES (XP & CSP)[2]
Pressing F6 from here will return you to the main menu.

To leave the JV2080 TEST Menu, Press EXIT on the Main Menu.[2]

If there are any tests that have not been performed, the LCD will ask if you would like to perform them.
You can press F6 to proceed without performing the extra tests.

The LCD will then ask if you would like to return to Factory Settings (Factory Preset).[2]

Please note that selecting "No" (F1) does not restore your previous settings. If you did not previously back them up, then they are deleted upon entering the JV-2080 Test Mode.

Once you press either Yes (F6) or No (F1), you will be sent back to the default settings. The JV-2080 will reset itself to USER Patch 001
