PKN-JV80-01 – PNJV02 reprogrammed for Exp2

This patch bank for the JV-80 synthesizer and JV-880 module is a reprogram of the original PNJV02 sound bank.
This sound bank required a pop expansion card, and the patches using this expansion have been converted to those of the orchestral expansion. Some waves were also not to be found on the orchestral board and have been replaced by a sound with ‘the color of’.
Please note you can only buy this one if you have the original PNJV02 card or sysex yourself already, to avoid copyright issues.

For example, we’ll need pictures from all Voice Crystal, SoundSource, ProRec cards. Most So-PCM cards, cases, Roland cards, cases.

A list of pictures that we already have:

  • So-PCM card 06 (card only)
  • Roland PN-JV80-06 (card & case)
