The standard presets on a JV1080 are obviously not made for sound designers or techno producers but just for keyboardists and hobbyists who need lifeless acoustic interpretations. It frustrated me that I always had to dig deep and long to get proper sounds so I decided to change that by programming my own presets for it. I also made it available for everyone who wants to support me and get 128 of the deepest presets for the JV1080.

Important!
Note: This soundbank is now working on both the Roland Cloud VST version and the Hardware unit!
It’s compatible with all Roland JV models (JV-1010, JV-1080, JV-2080, XP-30, XP-50, XP-60, XP-80, XV-88, XV-2020, XV-3080, XV-5050, XV-5080)
About: First I got a JD800 but also curiously bought a cheap second hand Roland JV1080 from eBay without the expansions. Hearing the standard patches made me cry instantly.. I thought at first this was just a boring preset machine but later started programming my own sounds with an old editor that often didn’t work on my mac. I found that the JV has a very round and lush character and makes the most beautiful strings, pads, ethereal airy ambient sounds one could wish for. Getting a Roland JV1080 is a no brainer if you can find them second hand for 250 bucks..
The JV1080 has now become my ‘go to’ machine for pads and strings and it was about time someone would make an upgraded sound library for this century (2020 here we are). This soundbank doesn’t aim to emulate anything! No analog emulations or vintage esque interpretations.. It’s the JV in full force! Pads, ambience and weird stuff. The amazing thing is that this preset library only uses internal waveforms and it’s compatible with most JV models like the 2080 and XV’s etc. This soundbank is perfect for movie, space and underwater stuff or anything lush or atmospheric.
Lately it has been ported to the Roland VST Cloud version of the JV1080 so you get both the preset files when buying.
What do you get? 128 presets including:
– Spacious Pads
– Ethereal/airy Pads
– Aquatic Pads
– Organic bell sounds
– Evolving textures
– Voicepads
– Modulating Effects
IMPORTANT: The patches don’t require you to buy any expansions for your JV synthesizer, it’s based on internal waveforms. All music in this demo is copyrighted and it’s purpose is to present the quality of the presets.
