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 (multisamples) 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]

The capacitors on SR-JV80 series boards are prone to failure, which can be destructive, so it is advisable to replace them as soon as possible. In 2017, Roland Japan issued an official statement encouraging users to cease using the boards due to these issues.[2]

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. The patches for newer generations take advantage of effects that aren't available on older generations.
  • Patches in the JV-80 column are also used 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 are also used on the JV-2080, JV-1010, and XP series.
  • The older expansion boards with only JV-80 patches do work on the JV-1080 and onwards, they just don't have enhanced effects.
  • Rhythm Sets in the JV-90 column also work on the JV-1000.
