1.
MODES
The
sound programs of
the
JV-80
Perfonnance
Synthesizer can be
called
up
and played
in
two
different
ways.
One
is
by
using
a
Patch,
which
is
the basic
sound program
of
the instrument,
and
the other
is
by
using a
Performance,
which
is
a combination of seven Patches
and one
Rhythm
Set. Different
modes
are available depending on which sound program
(Patch
or Performance)
is
selected.
Patch Play
mode
(P.30)
This
mode
plays sourxJs
by
calling
up one Patch
at
a
time.
By
using the
eight
sliders
or
an
optional foot pedal, you can
make
various realtime
changes
in
the
sound and
volume and even change sound programs as you
play. This
mode
lets
you
operate
the
JV-80 as you
would
a conventional
synthesizer.
Performance
Play
mode
(P.51)
Since
a
Performance can combine up
to
eight
different
Patches,
much
thicker
and
richly
textured sound programs can be
created. Performances can
also
be used
to
create
ensemble sounds by
using
different
Patches
to
play
different parts. This
mode
also
lets
you add
dynamic changes and movement
to
your music by
changing
the
volume and pan
settings for
each Patch as
they are played.
Patch
Edit
mode
(P.78)
This
mode
is
used
to
access
the synthesizer
sound
creation features of the
instrument.
In this
mode, you
can
change
the various elements which determine
the
character of
the
sound programs and
create
new
Patches.
Performance
Edit
mode
(P.
11
5)
By
combining seven Patches and one Rhythm
Set as
component
parts of a sound,
this
mode
lets
you
set the
overall
sound
or
effect that
you
wish
to create. In this
mode,
the
JV-80 can
adapt
to
a wide range
of
applications.
It
can be used as a
keyboard
for live
performance,
in
which you can
make
dynamic changes
to
the
sound
as you
play
by
key
velocity or
by
using
connected
pedals.
It
can
also
be
set
up as an
all-purpose multiple
sound
source
for
desktop music
and
home
studio
applications.
Rhythm
Edit
mode
(P.I
39)
This
mode
changes
the settings
of the
Rhythm
Set
that
is
assigned
to
a
Performance.
A
Rhythm
Set
is
a group
of
individual
Rhythm
Tones, which are
assigned
to
each key
of the keyboard. This
mode
also allows
you
to
set various
parameters
that control
and change
the
sound
of
each
Rhythm
Tone.
^
In addition to the
modes
mentioned
above, there
is
a
Write
Mode
(P.I 54)
which
allows
you
to
store
and
organize your
original
sound program
data.
