Roland JV-1080 Synthesizer

All parts were made from scratch in Vue Studio and I converted everything to OBJ format so that I could finish everything in Daz Studio. Textures are self-made and others are Daz shaders to get everything correct.

My story about the Roland JV-1080After I bought the Casio FZ-1 and the Yamaha RY-30, I continued to expand my studio. I wanted a powerful synth with lots of midi functions. I went to my favorite musical instrument shop and saw the JV-1080 on the shelf and was immediately curious. After listening to it and trying it in the store, I was immediately convinced that this device was a nice addition to my studio. After 2 months of purchase, I bought four more expansion cards in different music genres such as Techno, Rock, Orchestra and Ambient. Overall it turned out to be a beast of a sound machine and I enjoyed it for many years to come. Many tracks have been made and produced on various record labels and this is how this device has written its history.

About the Roland JV-1080The Roland JV-1080 was one of the hottest and most popular digital synthesizers ever to come from Roland. Incredible sound quality capable of emulating any instrument imaginable plus totally fat analog synth type sounds and loads of percussion! It has 64 voices of polyphony and 16 part multitimbral, it's no wonder this is part of almost every Film Score Composers set-up as well as many more artists and hobbyists!

It has 8MB of sounds and it also offers a lot of expandability with 4 expansion slots and 2 data card memory slots. You can get up to 42MB of sounds by adding any of the popular JV-80 expansion cards suited for Techno, World Instruments, Orchestral or Synthesizers. The 1080 has a large LCD screen, lots of effects and filters for creative flexibility, motion control and extensive MIDI implementation. Editing is intense but enhanced and simplified by external editors like MOTU's Unisyn. It is used by Faithless, Hardfloor, Vangelis, Scanner, Roni Size, LTJ Bukem and Apollo 440.
