Super JV Synth Graphs & Figures

If you're new to the Super JV synthesizer engine, or have just never tried to understand how Patches work--until recently, you will probably find these graphics helpful. They are all (so far) taken from the XP-80 Owner's Manual (see the credits & disclaimer) and help you visualize what actually is being changed (and how it affects the sound) when you adjust a parameter in a Patch.

1. Classification of Super JV Sound Types
   1. Tone structure
   2. Patch structure
   3. Rhythm Set structure
   4. Performance structure
2. How Effects Units Work in Different Modes
   1. In Patch mode
   2. In Performance mode (with a Part's Output Assign set to "EFX")
   3. In Performance mode (with a Par's Output Assign set to "PATCH")
3. Functions of Patch Parameters
   1. Stretch Tune Depth
   2. Portamento Start pitch (when set to "PITCH")
   3. Portamento Start pitch (when set to "NOTE")
   4. Method of using the Booster to create PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) sound
   5. Ring Modulator operation
   6. Tone velocity range crossfading
   7. Pitch envelope
   8. TVF (Time-Varient Filter) envelope
   9. TVA (Time-Varient Amplifier) envelope
   10. Tone Structures (1 through 5)
   11. Tone Structures (6 through 10)
   12. LFO & Control Parameters

I will be adding to this list in the future, but it takes considerable time, so it may be a while before I get to it again. Things to add will include:

• Structures for (sound path through) all 40 of the EFX insert effects

If you have suggestions or comments (or anything else you'd like to say to me), e-mail me, I'm open for suggestions.
