Description     : 

CAUTION: If you choose to load the SYX file, save all your
internal data to a sequencer.  I am not responsible for any
loss of data or sanity caused by use of these files.  

There is no original material in the performance data or the
rhythm data in the SYX file; I deal only with patches.

Many of these patches rely on the expression pedal.  If you don't
have an expression pedal, I suggest you buy the EV-5 and plug it
into the pedal 2 jack.  For one thing, you'll be able to hear the
rotary-speaker effect on preset A-44 (E. Organ 1).  Alternatively,
you can use controller 11 from your sequencer.

I almost never make use of aftertouch.  I used it a lot when I first
got the JV-80, and I'm still trying to recover from tendinitis and
carpal tunnel syndrome.

I often control cutoff with the expression pedal.  For example, the
pedal makes I11 (Bright Synth2) and I13 (BrightPadExp) brighter and 
mutes I12 (Bright Synth3).

Other notes:

I14 (Night Vox Exp) Pedal increases modulation.  Also, as in most
other patches, you can turn on other tones (unless their level=0)
to add more richness to the patch.
I17 (Space 1) As in some other cases, I use Velo-T1 to increase 
attack based on velocity.  Use a minus number, contrary to what
the manual says.
I31 (Exp Xfade) Use the expression pedal gently to crossfade between
the two tones.  I'm open to suggestions on how to improve on this
effect.
I32 (Horrid Noise) Play a series of chords.  Fast enough, and you'll
bring the modulation engine to its knees, creating an interesting
effect as it struggles to catch up.
I33 (Grunge Lead) Expression pedal brings in grunge, created using the
FXM parameter.
I38 (Horror Voice) The doo-wah diddy lady's nightmare.  Use the 
expression pedal.
I41-I43 (Wave Vox, Wave Vox2, and Breathing).  Start by holding down
one low note.  Control rate with the expression pedal.  You might get
an interesting effect by playing chords in the top half of the keyboard
in time with the mod rate.  Of course, this effect and most serious
modulation effects are at risk when you use them in performance mode
with other patches playing simultaneously.
I56 (Small Keys) Just a novelty, unless you're into experimental music.
The pitch difference between each key is half of the normal.
I58 (Flanged Nylon) This uses chorus to simulate flanging.  The Chorus
button must be on.  Play this one gently; heavy chords will create
distortion.  (Can anyone explain why?)
I67 (Chain Saw) Here it is, the best use I can find for the amazing
FXM parameter!  Use the modulation controller and expression pedal to
get the full effect.
I71 (Puff Cats) Play a minor chord softly on the top half of the 
keyboards and you'll hear those poor kitties meowing.
I73 (Saw Squeak) This is the "unknown world-music instrument."
I78 (Saw + Pulse) This reminds me of a patch Ray Lynch used in 
"Deep Breakfast."
I84 (JV Seagulls) OK, you do the ocean with your left hand and the
seagulls with your right.
I87 (SquareRndLFO) Hold down a three-note chord and let the magic
of random modulation play a song for you.  Obviously just a novelty.

I welcome your constructive suggestions, and I hope that others will
continue to post their patches.
