The Roland SR-JV80 series is a line of expansion boards produced by Roland for Roland JV series synths, starting with the JV-80. Some other Roland products are also compatible with them, e.g. certain Roland XV series synths.[1] Each board provides new waveforms (samples) and instrument patches, and usually also rhythm sets (drumkits).

Its successor is the Roland SRX series, which is incompatible. Some synths have slots for both SR-JV80 and SRX expansions.[1]

Boards

Mainline

Notes:

  • The same waveforms are accessible on all synths, but there are completely different sets of patches included for different generations of synth, and you can only access one of them.
  • Patches in the JV-80 column also work on the JV-880, JV-90 and JV-1000. The JD-990 can also use them with the "Convert Load" function.
  • Patches and Rhythm Sets in the JV-1080 column also work on the JV-2080, JV-1010, and XP series.
  • Rhythm Sets in the JV-90 column also work on the JV-1000.
