SOUND main core cpu manages up to 64 voices polyphony or TONES- relative DAC is a 18 bits Burr Brown PCM 69AU.
STRUCTURE:
a basic pacth is composed by 4 PCM tones samples with edit parameters:
-
keyzone assignment
-
pitch tuning
-
panning position
-
delay start time
- FXM
oscillator crossmodulation.

WAVETABLE is a 8 Mb ROM contains 448 PCM at 16-bits waves, split into 2 main families:
- 193 PCM percussive and chromatic one-shot
-
255 PCM acoustic instruments.

EXPANSION Jv2080 is expandable using SRJ-V board (usual size is 4 or 8 MB) fitted in 1 of the 8 available slots. There are 21 SR-JV available with different instrument styles, here is the list:

STRUCTURE the tones can be combined in 10 structures (signalpaths) inspired from classic synthesizer D-50. These are pre-fixed audio patch that connects the 2 pair of tones into variable setups mixed with audio elements such as amplifier / filter and 2 digital processes:
- Booster amplifies the signal causing a distortion with new harmonics 18 levels of effectiveness
-
Ring modulator.


click for structure list.
PERFORMANCE the JV engine manages up 16 parts each with assignable:
-
Midi channel assignment
-
zone assign
-
panning
-
volume gain
-
effect amount
-
pitch tuning
A special GM (General MIDI) bank reads SMF Midi for a total compatibility.

FILTER it is the TVF - Time-Variant Filter - features 4 modes:
- lowpass
-
bandpass
-
highpass
-
peaking (the "PKG" emphasizes frequencies around the cutoff value)
In addtion a filter keytrack function with
+/- 200% harmonic content cutoff over octaves.

LFO there are 2 syncable delayed modulators fade-in/out time; they do provide 7 shapes with adjustable symmetries: triangle, sinewave, sawtooth, trapezoidal, random, sample-hold and chaos random.

ENVELOPE each TONE features 3 EGs:
- EG1 amplitude: 4 segments + 3 times, 8 velocity curves + key follows option
- EG2 filter : 4 segments + 4 times.
- EG3 pitch 4 segments + 4 times, keyfollow + random pitch
EFFECTS DSP is organized into 3 main sections:
- EFX: 40 inserts algorithms :overdrive, phaser, EQ, Leslie, tremolo, flanger, delay, and pitch-shifter
- Reverb: 7 classic algorithms (Hall, Room, delay, stage) with adjustable damp time
- Chorus: digital chorus has variable rate, pre-delay, feedback and depth.
The new 2080 FX DSP allows up to 3 EFX for each multitimbral part.
MEMORY:
- 768 ROM patches (128 are special GM/GM compatible bank )
- 64 ROM performance
- 128 RAM patches
- 32 RAM performances
.
External media: it is possible to use 2 kinds of memory cards: model M-512 (32 performances + 128 patches + 2 rhythms sets) and common model M-256 (16 performance + 64 patches +1 rhythm set).
Battery replacement: classic lithium 3V CR2032 in battery holder.
