I've owned my JV-1080 so long I don't even remember where I bought it. I also had a Roland XP-50 using the same synth engine which got fried by bad wiring at a Holiday Inn, flames and all. Thanks for the video. Classic sounds.
I was watching all your videos, and this one just reminds me how much I love my XP80, which is the keyboard version of your beloved 1080! Never gonna part with it, this sound module is awesome!
I bought my JV-1080 off EBay for £200 just over a decade ago, I also have it fitted with 3 SRJV expansion boards including the Orchestral expansion board. Today I played around with some custom patches I made just by tweaking the waveforms, I have mainly made custom bell patches, this sound module has beautiful sparkly bell patches and moving pads as well as e pianos that are still useable in both modern or 90s indie productions. It is still possible to produce complete backing tracks entirely on the JV-1080 with or without the expansion boards but the drum kits are OK as long as they are not overused.
I’ve already bought this toy. I want to really say it. I’m falling in love. Sounds really good. Piano, electric and rodhes are excellent. Sounds as xp80. But better.
I bought one just to house my SRJV80 cards because the JD990 can only hold one.. and omg I ended up falling in love with the JV1080. I use it far more than the JD990
@@Iofflight78 really? is the jv1080 better than the JD990 in your opinion? I have the XP50, but thinking to snap up the JD990 because its for sale here now, good price and with 1 expansion card
@@AnalogFlava I'm probably an outlier but I found that for the stuff I write the JV was more useful. I of course kept both and swapped out the screen for white on black LCD. looks great.
Thanks a lot! If you can get one for a decent price you won’t be disappointed. I sold mine a year ago but bought another because I missed that specific 1080-sound. Sold the 1010/2080/5080 but the 1080 just sounds different and that’s why I re-bought it.
This is definitely a classic rompler rack. I sold mine but I still kept the XV5080. The good think is that now all these sounds are available in the Roland Cloud and they sound pretty spot on to the originals.
roland cloud is awful... super expensive and you loose everything if you dont keep paying your $200 subscription every year !! it sucks .. just buy the hardware while you still can !
@@RobBob555well, if someone was talented and disciplined they could make and master some great tracks in a month for $20 and do whatever they want with those
lol ya! I got this just to know how beautiful is the famous "009 MIDIed Grand". And it's an incredible sound, made with 4 layers... The curious thing is that the AC piano(001 64voicePiano) wich is one of the layers is not good by itself, but with the other 3 layers it sounds great!
@@humansrants1694 It does have use attack as a form of velocity switching and it's possible to set certain waveforms to only sound at a certain velocity.
@@theMIDImaniac Wow, thank you for your quick reply. It turns out to be a very old keyboard but it looks very advanced because there are very few buttons:)
@@duckqi6961 indeed an old unit. It became very famous due to the Prodigy. Meanwhile I sold it already but it was cool to have one for some time. The gritty sampling sound was amazing.
Why does everyone refer to the JV1080 as a bloody ROMpler!! Its a semi-modular synth...just get out of PRESET-CITY lol :D ...tho the JV1010 is more a 'ROMpler'...bcoz the interface isnt for sound editing! :D
marqush you’re right, the piano sounds are really good. And these are just presets. Imagine the SR-JV piano card. Today those machines are cheap. Too cheap for what they can offer.
marqush that’s a Roland S-330 sampler. You can monitor all incoming MIDI channels. I also use Director-S to sequence external machines. Old school and very nice. Before you know it you’re out of memory 🤗
Yes, real hardware :D. Something funny...the mouse for the Roland S-330/S-550 is a MSX-mouse, although it has a serial connector. They claim that the software is also based on MSX-software.
@@theMIDImaniac Seems to be a lot of fun in pair with MPC Live Chords with MIDI HOST option.Some mapping via MPC and MidiFighter Twister will cover a lot of XV parameters on the fly 🤯
Hahaha! What a huge compliment! And no...I didn't use a compressor. These are standard patches and the Line-Out went directly to the Line-In of my NI Komplete Audio 6 and then just in simple QuickTime Audio recorder.

Check out my comparison vid between the Roland JV-2080 JV-1010 JV-1080. Do you hear the difference? ua-cam.com/video/Qyj3RpcchJQ/v-deo.html
I watched that some time ago. Still I plumped for a JV1010. Now Im hunting the 2080 for the screen-real-estate!
I STILL CANT BELIEVE HOW GOOD WEST COAST SOUNDS ...

I love how you played each patch a different style... playing it differently for the rhode sounds than the same for pianos. I dig it!
Paul Rice Jr thank you so much for your feedback ✌🏼🤙🏼
I was watching all your videos, and this one just reminds me how much I love my XP80, which is the keyboard version of your beloved 1080! Never gonna part with it, this sound module is awesome!
And on top of that I love the keyboard of the XP80. It plays very nice. It's a great machine and you're totally right not to ditch that piece of gear.
I've been trying to find the sound @ 6:44 forever! That is the coolest and smoothest sounding one IMO!!!
Oh , I love those Roland JD and JV synth modules, great channel, instant sub!
Awesome, thank you!
the Piano Thang preset sounds really good :)

There is nothing I detest moe than the Roland pianos of that era. Damn!

Roy Maya thanks for the tip about the Roland Cloud. I will take a look at that.
And yes, this is such a classic rompler.

How the heck is this done within 8mb of samples!?!?
GB? Ok.
MB?!? How!
Sounds great
Lower samplerate No velocity samples and only one octave worth the software engine expands it further.

Exelente !👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💫🎵
Gracias!!
This why I got no work done once these units came out. I would spend all my time trying to choose which patch to use.
Sometimes you just can have too much sounds...
Hello, may I take the liberty to ask: What model is the keyboard with the blue screen above? Thanks
Of course! That's the Roland W-30 Workstation :)

You're absolutely right! The 1010 is the rompler and the 1080 is the synth (with wave-files to make sounds)
Thanks!
I've been wanting one for some time now. Not really for the piano sounds, but man those do sound good.
marqush you’re right, the piano sounds are really good. And these are just presets. Imagine the SR-JV piano card.
Today those machines are cheap. Too cheap for what they can offer.
Are those stock piano sounds you're playing?
Yes! All sounds are stock sounds. You can find them all in bank A of the JV-1080 and JV-1010.
@@theMIDImaniac Sweet!

What is the software you use on the monitor to show keys?
marqush that’s a Roland S-330 sampler. You can monitor all incoming MIDI channels.
