Sequencing with the JV-90 and the VE-Series Voice Expanders
The JV- 90 is an 8 part multitimbral synthesizer with 320 Patches, 80 Performances, and 5 Rhythm Sets built-in. Both the polyphony and multitimbral parts can be increased by adding a VE-Series Voice Expansion Board.
It will also accept SR-JV80-Series Wave Expansion Boards which add Waveforms and Patches that expand the Internal sound source. The JV-90 can be expanded even further using the wide variety of PCM Cards and Data Cards available in the JV library. These Supplemental Notes will concentrate on sequencing with the VE-Series Voice Expanders.
There are two Voice Expansion Boards available for the JV-90; the VE-GS1 and the VE-JV1. Each of these Voice Expanders can function as an independent multitimbral synthesizer with it's own Patches and 28 voices of polyphony. The Voice Expander can be accessed through the main MIDI IN, but the JV-90 also provides a separate V-EXP MIDI IN and a stereo output exclusively for the Voice Expander making it truly independent. If you are using a multi-port interface, you may wish to dedicate a separate cable to the Voice Expander. There is a switch on the back panel that can be set to EXT or INT depending on which MIDI IN you are using. Set this switch to EXT when using the V-EXP MIDI IN, or INT when using the main MIDI IN to access the Voice Expander.
