So you think its not worth having JV880 if you already have XV module? XV can boost or cut waveform signal which change the sound dramitacally, from more mellow to very pissed off and agressive, from -6 to +12db.Īnd i would agree that XV`s are indeed very flexible machines, so much options to shape the sound. If you don’t mind using an editor (which can be borked to work in windows 10 but is happier on windows XP) then the XV2020 is the bargain of the range, a seriously big box of Roland ROMples for under £100 used.That are good points there. I noticed a granularity in the envelopes too.

Sounds similar to wavetable sweeps, mild filter FM, etc can happen. I have been getting startling results by using the Ringmod structure where the dry carrier can also be heard and each partial has a filter…and then using the peaking filter on the modulator. Ringmod especially takes the range into the stratosphere sound design wise.
However the main point as I see it, is that the 880 totally lacks the later JV/XV’s “structures”, booster and ringmod. Presets mask it with effects or with slow and gradual modulation.I noticed a granularity in the envelopes too.Īnyhow I enjoyed the 880, it can sound “haunted” very easily.
If you program your own sounds from scratch, you will immediately notice this. If you take the effects off and open or close a filter with an envelope, you will hear it audibly step. Envelopes have a very coarse resolution on a JV-880 compared to say a 1080 or any XV.
