Parameters
These determine the conditions of
each
Part
when
a
Performance
is
called up,
and
also
detemiine
how
the eight
Patches are to
be combined.
"A"
You
can assign the Patches to Parts

8.
Any
of the Patches can be called up;
however,
when
a
DATA
card
has not
been
properly inserted
into
the
DATA
card
siot,
Patches stored
to
a
DATA
card cannot
be
seiected.
i^ Level
(volume),
pan
(stereo
position), and tuning
settings
can be
made
for the
sound program of each
Part.
Using
these
parameters
lets
you
adjust the
balance and overall
sound of an
entire
Performance.
These
are useful
in
creating
a
single
multi-component sound program with a
whole
Performance, or
when
building an
ensemble sound
with several Parts.
"At
The chorus switch
and
reverb switch
in this
section
allow
you
to
determine whether or not the signals are sent
to the
chorus and
reverb.
By
turning the effects
of each
Part
on and
off,
you can choose the
proper
ambience and
dynamics for the sound.
For example,
turn the
switches off for Parts
which
require a tightly
defined stereo position
or a clear sonic outline.
When
you want
to
combine
all
sound programs
in
making
a single
sound,
it
is
effective to
turn
on the switches for
ail
the
Parts.
When
set to
ON,
the signals are sent
with
the
send
level set in the
Patch parameters.
When
set to
OFF,
the effect
is
not applied.
This parameter can be changed
in
realtime while playing
from
the
Performance
Play
mode.

"At
The JV-80 has
a
total
of twenty-eight voices. Since
several
voices
may
be used
when
sounding a single
Tone,
many
voices are required
when
playing
just
one
Patch.
If
you
try to play
more
voices than the
twenty-eight-voice
limit,
previously
played
Tones
will
be cancelled
to
accommodate newly
played ones.
You
can,
however, reserve a
minimum
necessaiy
number
of voices for specific Parts; this
comes
in
handy
when you have an
important Part that
you
wish
to
continue sounding, or avoid
a
certain Part
from being too abruptly or
too obviously
cut
off.
This
is
called the
VOlce reserve
function.
For example,
when
you
need a certain Patch,
which
is
made
up of
three
Tones,
to
sound
at least
two
notes, the
number of the voices
you
should reserve
is
six
(two times
three).
The
total
number
of voices reserved
for
each
Part
cannot
exceed
twenty-eight
