The Roland JV-2080 Synthesizer Module builds on the power
of the popular Super JV-1080 Synthesizer Module. This versa-
tile 16-part multitimbral synthesizer module features 64-voices
of polyphony and a total of 768 Patches including a bank for
General MIDI. The JV-2080s eight expansion slots for SR-
JV80 Expansion Boards provide a wide palette of sounds for
any project. Five effect processors and cool sync features offer
additional tools. If you are new to the JV-2080 and would like
an overview of some basic concepts, refer to the JV-2080
TurboStart, which is available from our FaxBack system (docu-
ment #20054) or from our Website (www.rolandus.com). This
