How Do I Sync the Effects to an External Clock?

The JV-2080 allows some of the internal effect algorithms to be synced with external MIDI clock. For example, you can set delay times to sync to the tempo of your song. This is a real time-saver because it saves you from having to adjust the settings manually. The JV-2080’s effect settings will be controlled by the tempo of your sequencer.

Use the following procedure to sync “19:TRIPLE-TAP-DELAY” to an external clock:

1. Press PERFORM.
