BANK NAME       : 80to1080.syx     (JV80 to JV1080)
SYNTH FORMAT    : Roland JV-1080
UNIT #          : 17
CARDS/EXP       : See descriptions below (some patches require them)

DESCRIPTION     : This bank contains about 45 patches that were originally
                  created for the Roland JV-80 The first half or so contain
                  the patches to date from the anonymous ftp site called
                  'ftp.pacificrim.net' (the same patches are probably also
                  at 'wagner.musicnet.edu').  The descriptions below describe
                  those patches (with a few descriptions missing). The 
                  remainder of the patches were collected from various
                  Compuserve MIDI forums, author(s) unknown. All patches have
                  been available in the public domain for some years now.

Patchname       : AweChoir (Awesome Choir)
Author          : Chris Sherwood (chrisshe@microsoft.com)
UnitID          : 17
Dump Type       : Temporary Dump
Expansion Board : POP
PCM Card        : None

Description     : This is as close as I've come to getting a good,
                  deep and religeous choir sound. My previous choir
                  patch (Vocal Pad) is nothing compared to this (if
                  I say so myself).

                  My inspiration is the deep and religeous choir sounds 
                  that come the like of Tony Banks of Genesis. I'm not 
                  sure if he used a Mellotron to produce those sounds and
                  didn't try to faithfully reproduce a mellotron here
                  anyways -- I simply wanted the ethereal choir sound
                  to sooth my soul, eh?

Features:       : Tones are spread across the stereo image and the 
                  Pan Delay reverb helps spread it out more (and fill
                  it up as well). 

                  Turning on tone #3 provides another choir wave 
                  transposed +12.  Tuning this to a 5th or 7th will
                  give a nice sound as well.

                  Tone #4 is an internal wave (Male Ooh) that has some
                  constant vibrato (LFO modulation) applied. It is 
                  hardly noticable in the mix, but it definitely
                  contributes.

Description     : Tone eating saw-wave Analog brass pad. If I remember
                  right (it's been awhile), the inspiration for this was
                  the sounds of Vangelis, but I also think this is one
                  of my earlier patches. YMMV

Dump Type       : Temporary Dump

PCM Card        : SO-PCM1-02 (Guitar and Brass)

Description     : This is a medium-fat brassy patch for leads. It uses
                  3 tones. Tone 3 uses a soft trombone wave from the  
                  Guitar and Brass PCM card. If you don't have that, you
                  you can substitute something similar. Both Modulation 
                  and Expression affect the quality of the sound.

Expansion Board : POP Required
PCM Card        : None

Description     : This is a modification of one of the orchestra hits/stabs
                  that comes with the Pop board, only this one adds heavy
                  crash (other params tweeked too).

Patchname       : High On You
Author          : Greg Youngdahl (greg@ihlpm.att.com)
UnitID          : 17
Dump Type       : Temporary Dump
Expansion Board : None
PCM Card        : None

Description     : This patch started out as an attempt to recreate the
		  instrument sound at the beginning of Survivor's _High On
		  You_ (Survivor's most famous song was probably _Eye of
		  the Tiger_ from a movie soundtrack (of the same name?)).
		  The sound is basically a piano attack with a synth sustain.
		  My result isn't quite a duplicate of the original sound,
		  but it has some other elements that I liked, and it does
		  work for use in the song.  My result is probably not quite
		  as bright as the original, and has some other interesting
		  characteristics that show up as notes are sustained for
		  longer periods of time.  Use of the filter on one of the
		  tones with a lot of hard resonance, controlled by the filter
		  envelope to blend in after a few seconds gives an octave
		  doubling type of effect (almost like a guitarist gets by
		  lightly brushing the guitar string at its midpoint to
		  produce an octave harmonic).  Also the aftertouch and/or Mod
		  wheel can be invoked to give some vibrato or almost a leslie
		  effect to the sound.

Features        : Tone 1: This provides the bright piano attack (Ac Piano 1
			  I think is the waveform) which fades way down after
			  about a second to clear the soundscape for the other
			  tones.  It is unfiltered, and basically clean.
		  Tone 2: This provides the synth growl that backs up the
			  piano attack.  Synth Saw 1 is the waveform with
			  some agressive filtering and hard resonance
			  modulated a bit by the filter envelope.
		  Tone 3: This also uses the Ac Piano 1 waveform, but with a
			  lot of help from the filter.  The first part of the
			  filter envelope provides a not-too-subtile "wah"
			  effect to complement the bright attack of Tone 1
			  (remember these are the same waveform).  The trailing
			  part of the filter envelope kicks in after two or
			  three seconds and really stimulates the filter and
			  the heavy dose of hard resonance creates the octave
			  doubling effect I described above.  I am amazed that
			  this sound comes from the Ac Piano 1 waveform!
		  Tone 4: Not used by me for this patch.  Whatever was left
			  over from whatever patch it was I started from.

Comments.  Lean into the aftertouch to hear the modulation effect (vibrato
	   or maybe slightly leslie like).  Hold a chord for 3 to 5 or more
	   seconds to hear the octave doubling effect really kick in.  I
	   seemed to get a dramatic effect from a D chord with octave Ds in
	   the left hand, and a D-A-D in the right (no third), YMMV (your
	   mileage may vary).  I also found the patch to be interesting for
	   some bass riffs in the lower octave of my keyboard (quick note
	   riffs that didn't wait for the octave doubling effect to kick in).

Patchname       : Lily Pad
Description     : I created Lily Pad for use in a song called "Lily Was Here" by
                  Candy Dulfer (off of her "Saxuality" album) that a friend of
                  mine who plays sax wanted to work out (Candy is a sax player).
                  It uses the "JP Strings" tone (one of the built in tones) for
                  each of its two tones, and I played around with the filter
                  using the resonance feature modulated by the LFO to get kind of
                  a flowing or moving effect for it.

This is a Helicoptor patch, originaly by Court Stewart
(csteward@muselab.ac.runet.edu) which has been modified for the JV-80
so it doesn't require the Pop Expansion board.  I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR
THIS PATCH!

Notes:  You can get some really neat effects by putting the patch into
"polyphony" mode (Press Patch Edit, Control, and then change "Assign"
to read "POLY") and pressing several keys with short delays between them.

Description     : This is an electric organ patch made from scratch. The
                  inspiration came from some of the Hammond organ patches
                  one the Korg Wavestation. I tried to program this JV
                  patch so that there was a slow, subtle, vector like
                  shifting going on (not too unlike a very slow leslie).

Features        : Tone 4: Organ percussive click. This is switchable on and
                  off with the tones off switch, of course, and the the
                  volume can be adjusted with slider 4. It is programmed in
                  at a medium low volume setting (which can be increased for
                  a more perky bite, or reduced/turned off for a more mellow
                  'blend into the backround' organ sound.

                  Mod (C1) Slider: Increases rate and depth of LFOs
                  driving a psuedo leslie speaker (best I could come
                  up with).
