Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Roland SR-JV80-16 Orchestral II Expansion Board.

Setup and maintenance

  • Replacing the capacitor is necessary to prevent leakage; a through-hole capacitor fits, but the legs must be cropped and polarity checked to avoid damage.

    Source
  • Removing a damaged capacitor can affect the PCB, requiring careful tracing or photos to reconnect correctly due to the lack of available schematics.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners of JV/XV/JD synths should be aware of potential capacitor issues, especially since not all users have maintained their devices for over 20 years.

    Source
  • Recapping is a standard maintenance item for these vintage synths, highlighting the importance of routine upkeep.

    Source
  • Owners praise the Techno card for Oldskool/Jungle music, emphasizing its classic sounds and versatility for creating "Pad Machines."

    Source
  • The Hip-Hop card is valued for its vintage loops and extensive drum kits, retaining usability despite its nineties-style loops.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • Cards from the US and Japan work seamlessly in UK units, with no compatibility issues across different regions.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The Integra-7 includes SRX card data, but it lacks original SR-JV80 patches, unlike the XV series which supports uploading them with corresponding SRX cards.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • Some SR-JV80 cards, like the Piano card, feature Rhodes samples that can be compared to a real Rhodes for authenticity and sound quality.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

Critic Reviews

SR-JV80-16

synthmania.com

The Roland SR-JV80-16 Orchestral II Expansion Board is a solid addition for those seeking to enhance their orchestral sound palette. With well-sampled strings, brass, and a unique focus on Celtic instruments—likely influenced by the 'Titanic' soundtrack—this board delivers warm, full samples typical of Roland's quality. While it excels in variety with cinematic presets, the niche Celtic sounds might not appeal to all users. Overall, it complements orchestral setups but isn't a must-have for everyone.

"Hi! I didn't use any jv1080 expansions on Inspector Gadget, just the factory preset sounds. But I had Orchestral 1+2, Asia and World expansions in my JV1080."

"NM: I was running Cubase on a Windows PC. I had a multi-port MIDI interface which allowed me to communicate with multiple external devices. For synthesizers I had a Roland JV90, and a Roland JV1080 which is the rack version of the JV90. Both of these were equipped with the Orchestral 1 & 2 Expansion Boards and the World Expansion Board. I also had an Ensoniq SQ1-Plus but I was using it less and less as I progressed with my orchestral scores – it wasn’t so good at producing real orchestral instrument sounds. I had a few other bits and pieces, an Ensoniq multi-effects rack and a Focusrite compressor, and that was about it."
