BANK NAME : 80to1080.syx (JV80 to JV1080) SYNTH FORMAT : Roland JV-1080 UNIT # : 17 CARDS/EXP : See descriptions below (some patches require them) DESCRIPTION : This bank contains about 45 patches that were originally created for the Roland JV-80 The first half or so contain the patches to date from the anonymous ftp site called 'ftp.pacificrim.net' (the same patches are probably also at 'wagner.musicnet.edu'). The descriptions below describe those patches (with a few descriptions missing). The remainder of the patches were collected from various Compuserve MIDI forums, author(s) unknown. All patches have been available in the public domain for some years now. ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : 60Minutz Author : Todd R. Mavis (trmavis@novalink.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : None Description : Like sands through the hourglass, so goes the days of our lives... Please make sure the JV80's onboard reverb button is lit, for best effect. ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : AweChoir (Awesome Choir) Author : Chris Sherwood (chrisshe@microsoft.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : POP PCM Card : None Description : This is as close as I've come to getting a good, deep and religeous choir sound. My previous choir patch (Vocal Pad) is nothing compared to this (if I say so myself). My inspiration is the deep and religeous choir sounds that come the like of Tony Banks of Genesis. I'm not sure if he used a Mellotron to produce those sounds and didn't try to faithfully reproduce a mellotron here anyways -- I simply wanted the ethereal choir sound to sooth my soul, eh? Features: : Tones are spread across the stereo image and the Pan Delay reverb helps spread it out more (and fill it up as well). Turning on tone #3 provides another choir wave transposed +12. Tuning this to a 5th or 7th will give a nice sound as well. Tone #4 is an internal wave (Male Ooh) that has some constant vibrato (LFO modulation) applied. It is hardly noticable in the mix, but it definitely contributes. ---------------------------------------------------------- BasketBass by Luc Dooms (ldo@sunbim.be) for the JV80/880 ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : BellyMass Author : Chris Sherwood (chrisshe@microsoft.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : None Description : Aw, it's just a tweeked pipe-organ patch, containing some bell resonance folded in with the pipes. ---------------------------------------------------------- BookBass by Luc Dooms (ldo@sunbim.be) for the JV80/880 ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : BrsPad3 (Brass Pad3) Author : Chris Sherwood (chrisshe@microsoft.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : None Description : Tone eating saw-wave Analog brass pad. If I remember right (it's been awhile), the inspiration for this was the sounds of Vangelis, but I also think this is one of my earlier patches. YMMV ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : Bright Lead Author : Lance Ware (73114.753@compuserve.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : SO-PCM1-02 (Guitar and Brass) Description : This is a medium-fat brassy patch for leads. It uses 3 tones. Tone 3 uses a soft trombone wave from the Guitar and Brass PCM card. If you don't have that, you you can substitute something similar. Both Modulation and Expression affect the quality of the sound. ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : CrshStab (Crash Stab) Author : Chris Sherwood (chrisshe@microsoft.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : POP Required PCM Card : None Description : This is a modification of one of the orchestra hits/stabs that comes with the Pop board, only this one adds heavy crash (other params tweeked too). ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : darkchfr Author : unknown UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : None Description : A dark flutey sound. Author unknown (down-loaded from compuserve) ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : Drip Pad Author : Lance Ware (73114.753@compuserve.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : None Description : This is a pad sound with a water-drop type of attack. It uses 4 tones. This patch was partially a product of the Shuffler function in Galaxy (a neat feature!) ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : Echo Bells Author : Lance Ware (73114.753@compuserve.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : None Description : This is a bell sound with three delayed and fading echoes. It uses 4 tones. ---------------------------------------------------------- Errie Winds by Chris Sherwood (chrisshe@microsoft.com) for the JV80/880 ---------------------------------------------------------- FrontBass by Luc Dooms (ldo@sunbim.be) for the JV80/880 ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : High On You Author : Greg Youngdahl (greg@ihlpm.att.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : None Description : This patch started out as an attempt to recreate the instrument sound at the beginning of Survivor's _High On You_ (Survivor's most famous song was probably _Eye of the Tiger_ from a movie soundtrack (of the same name?)). The sound is basically a piano attack with a synth sustain. My result isn't quite a duplicate of the original sound, but it has some other elements that I liked, and it does work for use in the song. My result is probably not quite as bright as the original, and has some other interesting characteristics that show up as notes are sustained for longer periods of time. Use of the filter on one of the tones with a lot of hard resonance, controlled by the filter envelope to blend in after a few seconds gives an octave doubling type of effect (almost like a guitarist gets by lightly brushing the guitar string at its midpoint to produce an octave harmonic). Also the aftertouch and/or Mod wheel can be invoked to give some vibrato or almost a leslie effect to the sound. Features : Tone 1: This provides the bright piano attack (Ac Piano 1 I think is the waveform) which fades way down after about a second to clear the soundscape for the other tones. It is unfiltered, and basically clean. Tone 2: This provides the synth growl that backs up the piano attack. Synth Saw 1 is the waveform with some agressive filtering and hard resonance modulated a bit by the filter envelope. Tone 3: This also uses the Ac Piano 1 waveform, but with a lot of help from the filter. The first part of the filter envelope provides a not-too-subtile "wah" effect to complement the bright attack of Tone 1 (remember these are the same waveform). The trailing part of the filter envelope kicks in after two or three seconds and really stimulates the filter and the heavy dose of hard resonance creates the octave doubling effect I described above. I am amazed that this sound comes from the Ac Piano 1 waveform! Tone 4: Not used by me for this patch. Whatever was left over from whatever patch it was I started from. Comments. Lean into the aftertouch to hear the modulation effect (vibrato or maybe slightly leslie like). Hold a chord for 3 to 5 or more seconds to hear the octave doubling effect really kick in. I seemed to get a dramatic effect from a D chord with octave Ds in the left hand, and a D-A-D in the right (no third), YMMV (your mileage may vary). I also found the patch to be interesting for some bass riffs in the lower octave of my keyboard (quick note riffs that didn't wait for the octave doubling effect to kick in). ---------------------------------------------------------- UnitID : 17 ( Default ) Author : Greg Youngdahl (greg@ihlpm.att.com) Dump Type : Temporary Dump Extensions : None Patchname : Lily Pad Description : I created Lily Pad for use in a song called "Lily Was Here" by Candy Dulfer (off of her "Saxuality" album) that a friend of mine who plays sax wanted to work out (Candy is a sax player). It uses the "JP Strings" tone (one of the built in tones) for each of its two tones, and I played around with the filter using the resonance feature modulated by the LFO to get kind of a flowing or moving effect for it. ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : LorenaBobbitt Author : Todd R. Mavis (trmavis@novalink.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : None Description : Ouch! Folks, you know that's gotta hurt! ---------------------------------------------------------- Lost Souls by Chris Sherwood (chrisshe@microsoft.com) for the JV80/880 ---------------------------------------------------------- New Phone by Court Stewart (cstewart@muselab.ac.runet.edu) for the JV80/880 ---------------------------------------------------------- This is a Helicoptor patch, originaly by Court Stewart (csteward@muselab.ac.runet.edu) which has been modified for the JV-80 so it doesn't require the Pop Expansion board. I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS PATCH! Notes: You can get some really neat effects by putting the patch into "polyphony" mode (Press Patch Edit, Control, and then change "Assign" to read "POLY") and pressing several keys with short delays between them. Bob Maple - bmaple@burner.com ---------------------------------------------------------- This is a Thunderstorm patch, originaly by Court Stewart (csteward@muselab.ac.runet.edu) which has been modified for the JV-80 so it doesn't require the Pop Expansion board. I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS PATCH! Bob Maple - bmaple@burner.com ---------------------------------------------------------- Orch2 by Luc Dooms (ldo@sunbim.be) for the JV80/880 ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : SpaceMadness Author : Todd R. Mavis (trmavis@novalink.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : None Description : This patch has a very 50s - 60s space movie sound to it. Please make sure that the JV80's onboard chorus and reverb buttons are lit, for best effect. ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : SynClav Author : unknown UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : None Description : A sharp, synthetic clav sound. Author unknown. (down-loaded from compuserve) ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : TVSnow Author : Todd R. Mavis (trmavis@novalink.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : None Description : What? Nothing on TV again tonight? Guess I'll have to to go up and work in the studio! ---------------------------------------------------------- Patchname : WavOrgan Author : Chris Sherwood (chrisshe@microsoft.com) UnitID : 17 Dump Type : Temporary Dump Expansion Board : None PCM Card : None Description : This is an electric organ patch made from scratch. The inspiration came from some of the Hammond organ patches one the Korg Wavestation. I tried to program this JV patch so that there was a slow, subtle, vector like shifting going on (not too unlike a very slow leslie). Features : Tone 4: Organ percussive click. This is switchable on and off with the tones off switch, of course, and the the volume can be adjusted with slider 4. It is programmed in at a medium low volume setting (which can be increased for a more perky bite, or reduced/turned off for a more mellow 'blend into the backround' organ sound. Mod (C1) Slider: Increases rate and depth of LFOs driving a psuedo leslie speaker (best I could come up with).
