TYPES OF
SOUND
UNITS {PATCHES
AND PERFORMANCES)
Performances and Patches
By
using
up
to
seven Patches
(the individual sound programs of
the
JV-80),
and
the
sound program
set
for
percussion
(Rhythm
Set),
an ensemble of sounds can be
created.
The
group
containing these
Patches
and
the
Rhythm
Set
is
called
a
Perfortvance. Each
Performance
is
divided
into
separate
sections, called
Parts, and
Patches are assigned
to Parts
1
—
7,
with
the
Rhythm
Set assigned
to
Part
8.
By
changing
the
volume
balance and the
relative pitch
among
the parts,
the
total
sound of the
Performance can be
adjusted.
The JV-80
has
what
are called "interna!
ZOnes"
and "transmit
zones"
between
the Patches
and
the
internal
device (the controllers of the JV-80).
The
internal
zone
processes the play data
from
the
internal
device and sends
them
to the Patch.
The
transmit zone proccesses the play data from
the
interna!
device
and sends them through
the
MIDI
OUT
terminal. In this
way,
the eight Parts and
instruments controlled
over
the
MIDI
channels can
be
played independently.
Performance-
Sounding
Data
is
received by the
Parts
which
are set to the
same
MIDI channel as the
transmitting device.
MIDI
OUT
Data over the set MIDI
channels
is
transmitted
through each transmit
zone.
^
Ttie
parameters
for setting
the Parts of the
Performance
and
determining
how
the
sound source responds
to
the
controiiers
of the
JVSO,
are
caiied the
Performance
parameters.
