HOW
TO USE
THIS
MANUAL
This
manual
consists of
the following sections describing the
respective
modes
of
the JV-80.
Though
we recommend
that
you
take time to
read through
this entire
manual
once, those
who
have a
general
knowledge about synthesizers can read
the desired sections
as
needed when
using the instrument.
The
explanations contained
in
the
pages you
refer to
have
been
made as comprehensive as
possible.
Since
many
functions
and operations throughout the
JV-80
are quite
similar,
you
may
find repetition of
the
same
or similar
information
in
several sections.
Section

The
