Roland JV-2080 - Sound Demo 4K UHD

[@Acrimonious_Snake]

Sound of this thing is legendary. That is what I call classic.

[@TelexToTexel]

Many are for sale second-hand for just a couple of hundred quid, it is amazing that this kind of pro module doesn't fetch more money in the present market

[@Am71919]

The technology is over 30 years old

[@TelexToTexel]

@@Am71919 Luckily there are many VST editors available for such a module these days, which makes control very hands on, and easy to incorporate into a DAW

[@petertorda5487]

Incredible sound module with it's specific sounds, also I have one fully expanded, and despite of various VST's, still from time to time I use some of it's sounds in tracks.

[@MantraS77]

This is the first synth in a while that I'm completely happy with.

[@kofiassor2164]

@@MantraS77 how do you connect it to a computer and a DAW?

[@MantraS77]

Using a USB to MIDI interface

[@fnonaka]

JV2080 is so beautiful! I have one too, but it's stored in somewhere! lol

this synth rack is practically flawless just what i was looking for i hve found it

[@neulandlotse]

Did you use the techno expansion or any other on this sound demos?

[@Ferrichrome]

lol, this thing is the sound of the 90s for sure

[@matthewcragg3607]

0:45 Does anyone know the source of the "D-50 Rhodes" patch? I see it says "USER" but is it maybe a stock preset on the JV-2080 or is it from one of the sound cards?

[@adev8565]

It's User:064, a standard patch. The User slots are by default populated with presets but they can be overwritten. If you use "synthmania 2080" with the search engine of your choice, you'll find a page with sound samples that includes the patch you're asking about.

[@LittleRichard1988]

I personally have a JV-1080 fitted 3 SRJV boards including the Orchestral board, only 3 because one of the slots doesn't work. I did consider also getting a JV-2080 so I could house more expansion board, you should buy more boards for yours. I forgot these JV modules are capable of realistic sitar sounds even without the expansion boards. The drum kits are also still usable. It's a shame the JV-1080 doesn't have the ability to play phrases when you hold down the volume knob.

[@sK3LeTvM1]

If you know how, the JV2080 can reproduce strings and brass like sounds that surpasses any analog synth. (you might need a Vintage Expansion)

[@wolfgangwiesinger9502]

1:17 this is the korg M1 organ

[@TransistorBased]

it's their response to it. The Korg still sounds better on that one

[@RP-rn6ut]

Hi BB, wonder if you can help me. I'm very newbie with this stuff. Hooked m-audio controller midi out to Jv 2080 midi in. No sounds coming out Do I need to assign the kboard to the midi channel on Jv? If yes - please advise how to do this. OR - do i need a soundcard to connect between the kboard and Jv? Thanks

[@MantraS77]

Congrats on your new synth! First of all you can test sound on the JV by pressing the volume button in. Once you know the sound works, press the “patch” button on the JV and in the top right corner it will display the MIDI channel (RX-Ch=). This is what channel you should set your M-audio keyboard too. If the keyboard is set to channel 1 by default, make sure the JV is also set to channel 1 in the settings.

[@RP-rn6ut]

BB, the sound from Jv works alright, but no sound when playing with the keyboard. The Jv currently set up at 1, but not sure the M-Audio - still searching more information and videos as well.

[@RP-rn6ut]

Hi BB, I managed to work it out. My next question is - does your Jv required audio interface to connect to your pc/laptop? thanks again

[@MantraS77]

@@RP-rn6ut You would need an audio interface, ideally a stereo one. You can also connect MIDI in/out to a computer with a MIDI interface.

[@beatnikcafe]

If anyone following this knows of a good video comparison between the JV1080 and JV2080 please post. I'm trying to find some patch examples that actually sound different due to the effects engine. I "heard" that the JV2080 has effects that the JV1080 doesn't have but so far I have yet to hear any patch examples where you can tell the difference. Alternately, if anyone knows of simply a good sound design tutorial showcasing the JV2080's effects that would be super helpful.

[@MantraS77]

In my opinion the differences are negligible. I would love to do a three way comparison of the JV1080, 2080 and the Roland Cloud software version. That being said, you can Google "" the website Polynomial has one. I found the 1080 is slightly brighter but not by much.

[@madness8556]

The 1080 and 2080 have identical fx but you have access to up to 3 insert fx on the 2020 when it's in multitimbral mode as opposed to the 1080 that can have only 1 insert fx. The newer XV modules have more fx than the JVs.

[@beatnikcafe]

@@madness8556 I appreciate this answer. Clears things up a bit, and also gives me some reassurnce that I don't need the XV. I am leaning toward the 2080 because the interface looks a little better and of course it is likely going to be at least a few years newer.

[@beatnikcafe]

@@MantraS77 I have seen some good comparisons between hardware and the Roland Cloud. I think the cloud is nearly identical. For what I would use the 2080/1080 for its just more practical to have hardware for the specifics of the setup but I have no issues with the sound of the software. If I end up bringing a laptop into the mix I will probably use it for completely different sounds.

[@beatnikcafe]

@Xeraser Thanks, that's pretty much the summation I was looking for. I plan to get the 2080 just for the better looking interface/ui and for the fact it might be newer, but not going to pay too much extra, otherwise I'll just get the JV1080, which has a lot of sounds that I like.

[@jaimefok]

3:56 is my fav!

[@engaranedrick]

Incredible

[@hibbiea8841]

Techno Pizzicato sounds like Faithless' Insomnia

[@MantraS77]

Exactly. The 2080 even has a patch called “sleepless”

[@172Break]

That was originally done on the JD800 - and the JV2080 is it's grandchild!

Dubstep bass 😂 in the 90's ?

Maybe a 2000’s patch 🤔
