JV1080 Drum kits?
Greg Tiller
is it to use as the main drum-sounds for a dance/techno-oriented setup?
how ACCURATE are the 909 sounds? do the Open hats sound the same, and can
you tune the kicks to get a lot of BOOM? also can you edit the drums and
layer them (ie layer a 909 with an 808 kick?) also what f/x apply to the
drums or is it the same? (also what are the efx possibilities for the 4
outputs?)
thanks :)

I'm pretty sure my 1080 came stocked with 8 drum kits. The dance/techno
sounds may be it's high point and it has quite a variety of drum box
sounds, although I'm not directly familiar with the vintage gear for direct
comparison of sounds. The expansion boards also provides sounds and kits
and Roland will soon release a Dance x-board which will have lots of the
epected wacky stuff. The vintage board also has a lot of the roland drum
box stuff.

The editing is really cool, easy and effective. I don't think you can layer
the sounds, but all synth parameters are availabe. The 1080 filters which
include LP, HP, bandpass, and something else provide very nice flexibility
for tweaking the drums. Each note can have its own mix for reverb, chorus
and insert effect. I don't believe effects can be applied on the aux outs.
While I like the general scheme and editing of the drums, I am a little
dissappointed in the drum samples themselves (the normal acoustic drums I'm
talking about, not the techno stuff). The're okay but lacking on variety. I
suppose they had to leave room for the wonderful on board synth/instrument
samples. Basically my Alesis D4 is much better for rocknroll drums than
what's in the 1080. So I am wondering whether anyone has checked out the
Drum JV-80 PCM card? And if so do the PCM cards have patces/kits or just
samples? BOB CARTER

There are 2 user editable drum kits (HouseDrumSet and RaveDrumSet) and
eight preset drum kits (PopDrumSet1, PopDrumSet2, PowerDrumSet,
RaveDrumSet, JazzDrumSet2, JazzDrumSet2, OrchDrumSet, GMDrumSet and
finally BrushDrumSet).

The House/Rave sets are OK, but for your variety and kick you'd
program your drum kit.

The sounds are fairly accurate. You can apply pitch tuning, filter
envelope (fc and Q) and volume envelope (pretty versatile) No layering
is possible, unfortunately :-( As for effects, any the 47 on board
effects can be routed to the drum kit. In other words, the JV1080
scores high in programmability :-)

This is correct but you can set up a user patch that can use up to four
different drums on any channel.
