JV-1080 is part of almost every Film Score Composers set-up as well as many more artists and hobbyists. The Roland JV-1080 was one of the hottest and most popular digital synthesizers ever to come from Roland. Fantastic sound quality capable of emulating any instrument imaginable plus totally fat analog synth type sounds and loads of percussion. It has 64 voices of polyphony and 16 part multitimbral.

The module also has four expansion board slots for use with SR-JV80-Series Expansion Boards, reasonalby large display for access to comprehensive editing parameters.

It featues built-in reverb, chorus and 40 different "insert" effects such as rotary, phaser, pitch shift and tempo delay, plus ring modulation.

Note that this product is no longer in production. It was manufactured during 1994-2001. Similar capabilities can be found in the XV-5050 64-Voice Synthesizer Module.

This may be one of those "forgotten and re-discovered" synths. It is the main workhorse in so many studios all over the world.
