![]() "Pop" is the name of this wave expansion board, and certainly it does a good job of providing all the staple instruments used in pop, such as pianos, bass, organs, saxophones, choirs and strings. The Pop board is often underestimated because, being the first offered, contains waveforms that were added in the standard ROM of the instruments that followed, and people who own later models such as JV-1080, XP-80 and JV-2080 don't think they need "more of the same" bread and butter sounds: but even if that's the case, this board contains certain waves and patches that are not available anywhere else. Just a few years later, Roland offered eight slots in their JV-2080, the successor to the1080. ![]() ![]() The JV-80 and JV-880 only had room for one expansion board, but since the cards were successful, Roland started adding room for more than just only one - case in point, when they produced the incredibly successful module JV-1080 (that was considered and still is, an "industry standard for ROMplers"), they offered room for four expansion boards. The SR-JV80- Pop expansion board came out at about the same time as Roland's JV-80 synthesizer and JV-880 module, and was designed to enhance those devices, thanks to new waveforms that were missing in their internal ROM. This is the first in the long line of expansion boards that Roland produced in the course of several years. ![]()
