But, hey! Roland did it because they can. So having 128 voices per part is just nuts. Those were distributed and shared between the 16 parts if used in the Performance mode as well. The JV-2080 also had 64 voices, so you had to go all the way up to the XV-series to find 128 voices. And hope your CPU doesn’t melt.Īnother striking difference is that the Cloud version has 128 notes polyphony which is double up from the hardware. The Cloud version is a single part version - so you’d need to load sixteen instances and, well, manually build your Performace settings. The Cloud version doesn’t have this mode and thus missing the button and front panel text that had anything to do with it. The hardware module had a Performance mode that could stack up to sixteen different patches as the same time. After four or five years of using the JV-1080, I upgraded it in a trade-deal to a JV-2080 so I could fit more expansion cards. I still know how it feels, and sounds, using the front panel. I’ve used the JV-1080 so much back in the days that my body still has a muscle memory regarding the buttons and the Value wheel. But, is the Roland Cloud JV-1080 really a JV-1080? Let’s find out! Screenshot of the hardware version embarrassingly stolen from the amazing site.
