How do I sync Phrase/Beatloops to a Sequencer (External Clock Source)?
The JV-2080 has eight expansion slots for SR-JV80 Expansion Boards. Some of these expansion boards (e.g., SR-JV80-10 Bass & Drums, SR-JV80-11 Techno, SR-JV80-12 Hiphop) have phrase/beatloops that are set to play at a specified tempo. The JV-2080 allows each tone [1]-[4] used in a Patch to be synced to a sequencer’s clock so that the tempos match. This ësync’ feature enables you to manipulate beatloop tempos to match the tempo of your song. Use the following procedure to set the JV-2080 to sync a phrase/beatloop to an external MIDI clock source:
1. Hold PERFORM and press PATCH.
2. Press F2[WG] to select the Waveform Display page.
3. Press F1[WG Prm] to select the Waveform Parameter page (see Fig.6).
4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select a Tone [1]-[4] which uses a wave (phrase/beatloop) that has a tempo (BPM) display.
5. Use the VALUE dial to set the Tone Delay Mode to “TEMPO-SYNC.”
6. Press PERFORM.
7. Press F1[COMMON] to display the Performance Common parameters.
8. Use the CURSOR buttons to select “Clock Source.”
9. Use the VALUE dial to select “SYSTEM.”
10. Press SYSTEM.
11. Press F1[SETUP] to display the global system parameter page.
12. Use the CURSOR buttons to select “Clock Source.”
13. Use the VALUE dial to set the Clock Source to MIDI.
Tip: It is a good idea to save this Patch to a User location, as detailed in the previous section (“Syncing the LFO”), for future use.
