Playing The Sounds - Roland JP-8080 Owner's Manual

Playing the Sounds

The JP-8080 contains a wide variety of sounds. In this section we will select Performances to hear the vari-
ous sounds. The Performances are organized into the following groups.
USER:
PRESET1–3: Sounds which cannot be rewritten
CARD01–64: Sounds saved on an optional memory card
* P2: 83–P2: 86 are performances which use the formant filter. These should be played while inputting
vocals through the MIC jack. This is especially true in the case of P2:84 and P2:86—they will not sound at
all unless vocals are being input. (p.103)
* P2: 87 is a performance which uses the external input. There will be no sound unless sound is being input
to the EXT IN jack. (p.26, 70)
* CARD sounds can be selected only if a memory card is inserted into the CARD slot. (p.128)
Performances are selected by specifying the three items Group (USER/PRESET1–3/CARD01–64), Bank
(1–8), and Number (1–8). For this example, let's select performance "P1: 24 1979!"
