Expansion boards for the JV-2080 are here

 “The JV-2080 is everything you could expect from a modern sound module, but more!  A massive 64 voice multitimbral performance module that strives to offer the best all-around features for creating new and vintage sounds for any musical style.  Excellent acoustic sounds of all instruments both common and ethnic.  A massive amount of techno sounds complete with pulses, blips, sweeps, and the ever popular LFO, VCF and VCA type controls for patch editing and real-time editing“

The JV-2080 represents a significant upgrade from the JV-1080, with more patches, more outputs and more expansion slots (eight rather than four). It has a larger display and easier patch editing. Sonically, it’s virtually identical to the JV-1080, but it has additional effect options

The main differences between the JV-880, JV-1080, JV-2080 (in this auction) and later models are summarised in this table

The JV-2080 continues the typical Roland 2U rack style with a black, brushed aluminium front panel, large LCD display, headphone socket with volume control, data entry dial and a number of dedicated buttons.  It has eight sockets for SR-JV80 expansion boards (JV-1080: four) plus a front panel card slot for a Data card.  The Data card can be used for playback of sounds & samples or as a means of saving setups.  Data dumps via Sysex are available too

The JV-2080 has three stereo outputs and upgraded onboard effects, EFX, Chorus & Reverb, each of which has a dedicated on/off button.  The effects can be enabled on a per-voice basis and stored as part of a preset

 If you use synth modules to play presets, a fully-expanded JV-2080 might give you every sound you ever need.  The SR-JV80 expansion boards cover a very broad range of instruments, styles & genres and some, like Bass & Drums, Vintage Keys and the Vocal Collection, are awe-inspiring in the quality of the sounds & programming

In excellent condition with only minor marks. Refurbished with new battery. Pots & encoders cleaned & lubricated. Reset to factory settings. The JV-2080 has a universal 80-240 Volt power supply so is suitable for use worldwide

Tested & ready to go. Photos show the synth for sale
