What JV-1080 does
The plugin draws on the 448 waveforms of the original hardware and adds further sounds, so the total runs past 1000. Forty MFX types are carried over from the rack unit and extended with 78 additional reverb and chorus algorithms. The developer notes double polyphony compared with the original and two extra time-variant low-pass filters.
Matrix control functions have been enhanced, and the full graphical parameter display is intended to make tone shaping feel fresh. Its sound library includes the PCM Heaven strings that the rack module shipped with.
