Roland JV-1080 - FP User's review
Good Midi implementation and 8 outputs. 32 notes poly was a fairly good amount for 1986. Memory card slot on the front allows addition of extra sample waveforms for use in programming your own sounds…
Roland JV-1080 - FP User's review
It's a bread n' butter module. 64 voices, 16 parts, a whole bunch of effects, 6 outs and 4 expansion card slots. I guess that covers the most important features. Price paid $400 UTILIZATION I rea…
