- Is this a model rack or "rack"?
rack 1 / 2
- How many sounds, effects? What styles?
5 presets + bank card session
- Are they edited? Via a utility Mac / PC?
Publisher supplied on CD
- Are there any extensions?
expansion cards too expensive
- What connection (Audio, MIDI ,...)?...
no separate outputs / channels
UTILIZATION
The direct use of the rack is limited to its simplest form: choose a midi channel, bank and sound. The rest is virtually impossible given the display 2 * 7 segment. But this is not what is asked;
Editing sounds with software is relatively simple. It should not be mistaken, the JV is not a simple "box's" but a real synth.
The manual is quite clear as we enter not into programming sounds.
SOUNDS
Sounds are now dated. Some are based on samples, however, still widely exploited in the mix. others are on the street (electric guitars).
Good points for the synth pad, still valid, so good marks for sound "techno" typed too late 90's and really bad. Some rhodes piano sounds are pretty long to turn the internal effects and processing in audio sequencer.
Overall, it is used in a mix, but not alone.
Among the drum kits is to troubleshoot or models, except perhaps the electro that can do well in a mix.
- The effects can be exploited to help out (delay, distos, eq) except the couple reverb and chorus that I find really appalling.
Overall, it is best to avoid them and save all "dry" to address behind.
Good expression and support of CC, there are Mixermaps and other control surfaces that control everything easily.
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
I have this unit for almost 10 years (I started with the JV-1010, a 16-bit ISA card Guillemot (mouahaha..) Berhinger and mx-2004A (re-mouhaha.) I still have the JV and the behringer (it is unmarketable, lol).
- What is so special that you like most and least?
The (+):
- Some really troubleshoot the synths to quietly support a few games.
- The synthesis part is worth some attention around with an editor software.
- Simplicity in the selection of sounds (with banking and dials types of sounds)
The (-):
- An output level too low (a preamp catching a little time, but also brings the breath).
- 7 segment display that generates buzz light (which changes according to the display: I told you, it's a real synth
)
- Breath (nostalgic MT-32, JV-1010 is for you)
in comparison, the sound quality of a Wavestation SR is much higher, although older.
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
at that time my reference was a D-10 and GM synth sound card, so ....
- How would you rate the quality / price?
very good at the time. Now for 200 € of okaz must be better.
- With experience, you do again this choice?
in the context of the time, yes.
