MAIN FEATURES OF THE JV-80
The JV-80 is an advanced synthesizer with buiit-in sound sources that give you awide range of sound shaping features.
These allow you to use flexible filter (TVF) and amplifier (TVA) controls to process the various high-quality sound elements.
Because of the rich built-in sound sources and the comprehensive MIDI control functions which let you make changes to
the sounds and various parameters in realtime, the JV-80 is ideal for both live performance situations and desktop music
applications.
#Various Modes for Powerful
Performance Potential
The JV-80 features two operating modes: the Patch Play
mode, which enables you to use the full expressive
capabilities of the JV-80 by playing asingle sound in
realtime, and the Performance Play mode, which allows you
to play eight different Parts (internal sound sources) over
eight different MIDI channels. In the Key mode, there is a
Solo mode that lets you make special key assignments,
along with portamento for playing expressive melody lines in
legato.
#Wide Range of Sound Waveforms
Naturally, the JV-80 provides basic synthesizer waveforms,
such as the sawtooth wave, square wave and pulse wave. It
also features built-in waveforms that have various frequency
elements or short 'actual' sounds.
Since waveforms can be processed by FXM (Frequency
Cross-Modulation), the JV-80 is capable of satisfying the
most demanding sound programming applications, from
recreating realistic sounds to producing unusual,
otherworldly effects. New waveforms can also be added by
installing the optional PCM card or expansion board.
•Ease of Operation
In order to simplify play and edit operations, the JV-80 has a
large LCD display (40 characters by 2lines) with
corresponding soft keys which are used to directly select the
assigned parameters in the display.
#Convenient Performance Functions
Even during performance, the sound programs and their
parameters can be adjusted in realtime (and over MIDI) with
the use of the Parameter Sliders. This makes it easy to
adjust the sound to match the performance situation or the
character of the song.
•Multi-timbral Operation
The JV-80 features multi-timbral capacity with seven
independent synthesizer Parts and one rhythm Part. This
allows you to create the sound of an ensemble or group with
just the JV-80, controlling the sound sources over MIDI.
#Memory Card
By using an optional DATA card (M-256E), the internal
settings can be stored. Sound program data which is stored
on the DATA card can be called up for use while playing.
Built-in Digital Effects
Chorus and reverb effects are built into the JV-80. Rich
stereo effects that add spaciousness and depth to the sound
can be gained by using chorus and reverb.
#Flexible Realtime Parameter Control
Control over individual parameters can be assigned to the
sliders or footswitches/pedals. The expressive potential is
enormous, since awide range of parameters can be
selected for independent and simultaneous control.
•Convenient Panic Function
The JV-80 has apanic function that lets you quickly cut off
'stuck' notes when using the unit to control other MIDI sound
sources.
#Touch-sensitive Keyboard
The keyboard of the JV-80 features velocity and aftertouch
sensitivity. This allows you to change the tonal quality and
volume of the sound by how strongly you hit the keys or how
strongly you press down on them after hitting them.

IMPORTANT NOTES
In addition to the items listed under Safety Precautions on
page 2, please read and adhere to the following:
[Power Supply]
#When making any connections with other devices, always
turn off the power to all equipment first; this will help
prevent damage or malfunction.
•Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise, such as amotor or
variable lighting system.
[Placement]
[Memory Backup]
tThe unit contains abattery which maintains the contents
of memory while the main power Is off. The expected life
of this battery is 5years or more. However, to avoid the
unexpected loss of memory data, it is strongly recom-
mended that you change the battery every 5years.
Please be aware that the actual life of the battery will
depend on the physical environment (especially
temperature) in which the unit is used. When it is time to
change the battery, consult with qualified service
personnel.
This unit may interfere with radio and television reception.
Do not use this unit in the vicinity of such receivers.
[Maintenance]
•For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with asoft, dry cloth
(or one that has been slightly dampened with water). To
remove stubborn dirt, use amild neutral detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a
soft, dry cloth.
'The unit's battery functions during normal operation as
well as maintaining the contents of memory when the
main power supply is turned off. When the battery
becomes weak, there is arisk of losing the contents of
the memory. To avoid the unexpected loss of memory
data, replace the battery before it becomes weak.
'When the battery becomes weak, the following message
will appear in the display: "Internal Battery Low". Please
change the battery as soon as possible to avoid the loss
of memory data.
•Never use benzene, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the risk of discoloration and/or deformation.
[Additional Precautions]
•Protect the unit from strong impact.
•Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
•Asmall amount of heat will radiate from the unit, and thus
should be considered normal.
•Before using the unit in aforeign country, consult with
qualified service personnel.
Please be aware that the contents of memory may at
times be lost; when the unit is sent for repairs or when by
some chance amalfunction has occurred. Important data
should be stored on aDATA card, or written down on
paper. During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss
of data. However, in certain cases, (such as when
circuitry related to memory itself is out of order) we regret
that it may be impossible to restore the data.
[Expansion Board]
•When using the optional expansion board, refer to the
expansion board manual for the instructions on installation
and use of the board.

Trying Out the Realtime Performance Functions
The JV-80 has various controls for altering the sound as you play. Tiy out some of these functions
while playing the keyboard. The application of effects can also be determined for individual sound
programs by using the same controllers.
Listen to some of the differences by selecting other Patches.
The volume and the tonal quality (or timbre) of the sound will change according to your playing
dynamics (velocity), or how hard you strike the keys. The action of pressing akey down after playing
it is called "aftertouch." Pitch, tone and volume can also be changed using aftertouch.

While playing anote, you can move the Bender/Modulation Lever to the left to lower the pitch, or to
the right to raise the pitch. This is called the pitch bend effect. You can also push the lever forward to
add expressive modulation effects, such as vibrato or tremolo, while you play.

The volume and tone of the sound can be changed by moving this slider up and down while playing
the keyboard. The functions of the slider differ depending on the settings.
This is used to change the tonal quality of the sound; it adjusts the brightness and clarity. The higher
the lever is moved the more pronounced the effect becomes.
^Further expressive control is available with apedal switch (FS-1 or DP-2) or expression pedal (EV-5 or
EV-10). By connecting apedal switch to the HOLD jack on the rear panel, you can have the sound
sustain even after you release the keys. By connecting an expression pedal to one of the pedal jacks,
you can use the pedat to change the volume or the tone of the sound.
^you can also change various aspects of the sound in realtime by using the eight
parameter sliders, see the Play Section (P.34, 57) for more details.
