Roland JV1010 64-Voice Synthesizer Module

The Roland JV1010 Synth Module may look like a 90-pound weakling, but it kicks sand in the face of a lot of synths twice its size! Like your mom might have told you, it's what's on the inside that counts, and this half-rackspace killer has the full sound set of the professional JV1080 and 2080 modulesÖ640 preset and 128 user Patches. That's a lot of phat sounds in a skinny package.

Plus, all 255 sounds from the Session wave expansion board come included. Pristine stereo grand pianos, acoustic guitars, Juno, Jupiter, TB-303, 18 rhythm sets, and tons moreÖthe kinds of sounds that inspire and do justice to your musical ideas, whether recorded or live onstage.

And if you want to add more muscle, the JV1010 has an expansion slot for any JV80 Series boardÖpick Asian, Orchestral, Hip Hop, Techno, Bass & Drums, Vocal, Country, World... you get the picture. In total, you've got over 1,000 Patches out of the box and over 1,200 when expandedÖall in a 64-voice polyphonic, 16-part multi-timbral unit with dedicated Reverb, Chorus, and Multieffects.

Sounds are easy to find, too. JV1010 Patches are grouped into categories (Piano, Key/Organ, Guitar/Bass, etc.) and banks which can be selected with a simple Category/Bank Select knob. The innovative Phrase Preview function plays back the selected tone in a short musical phrase.

Roland had also added some valuable extras: Sound shaping can be accomplished via the bundled CD-ROM, which includes sound editing software for Mac and PC,… read more used in conjunction with the JV-1010's rear-panel computer interface. The computer interface and the 1010's General MIDI compatability make this an excellent sound module for use with your computer.

Though these sounds are professional all the way, you don't need to be a pro to recognize the JV1010 as an extreme value. You don't need to be a pro to use it either. If you have a keyboard with a MIDI out and a cable, you're good to go. You'll never be held back by a lack of good sounds again.
