Roland JV880 emulation

Just found this on kvr audio , it’s awesome
An emulation of the jv-880 chipset + loads the original jv rom boards
The jv880 is the first rompler that could load the legendary sr-jv expansion cards
Go get the Roms before they dissapear , atm it’s just a sample playback machine but damn it sounds good .
Comparing it with my roland INtegra ( which all the srx cards build i ) , it sounds bloody awesome

HOw to get roms explained in the video

He even reverse engineered the mks- 20
Remember , the mk-s uses no samples , it’s Structured/Adaptive Synthesis
Pretty damn fantastic

Guys really , this is worth getting for the drumkits alone
Awesome sounding 909 kits , hip hop etc…in combination with cdp this is a treasure trove

nice timing, read Don Solaris JV series FAQ a few days ago: The ultimate Roland JV, JD, XV F.A.Q. | donsolaris.com

The don Solaris comparison between Roland romplers is a decade old
At least I remember reading it a couple of years ago

Can’t get it to work (yet), I have it installed and put some roms from the link of toitoy above inside the folder that pops up after opening the plugin. But after re-opening the virtualjv vsti, nothing is working, no roms are being loaded.

Could it be the roms from the link aren’t working because they need to remain zipped? I extracted everything and removed all files except for the bin files. Perhaps the synth also needs the text/pdf files to work?

If you’re on windows

The (unzipped )roms should go into :
user/Appdata/Roaming/jv880

yep, that’s where I put the files;

I’ll try reinstalling the vst3 file.

Is it legal?

This roms are not free

Don’t make ads for use

They are sold by Roland nowaday I think

If you want some Roland sound for free,Use “Concerto” VST2 (Not VST3) + 40Gb collection

I have the collection

It’s free,legal

I don’t make promotion for the download roms
I make adds for the amazing effort the guy has put in to emulate the jv880 , and everybody knows that current roland software romplers are kinda mehh .
The jv-1080-5080 cloud stuff is all based on the previous fantom engine , the jv880 is not .

If this sounds are not sold anymore,It’s legal IMO…Preservation

These rom cards are 30 years old

Not sold anymore in Roland collection?I just ask…I don’t know

I find it supect,that’s all

ofcource cards are not sold any more. these are images of those rom cards now sold only on after-market

you can even make your own rom cards for hardware

Is This sounds are sold in software forms by Roland nowadays?

:angry:

Yeah it’s called : Milking the cow :wink:
To be honoust , I have all the srx cards ( which includes all the srjv-cards ) in my Integra , but it’s nice to have an in the box solution
