The Roland JV-1080 (aka Super JV-1080, or simply 1080) is a Sample-based synthesizer/sound module in the form of a 2U rack design. It was the most popular synthesizer, not only from Roland, but in the history of synthesizers.

Features

The JV-1080 features a 64-Voice Polyphony, as well as 16-part Multi-timbral capabilities. From the factory, the JV-1080 comes with hundreds of patches, and several rhythm kits (8 Mega-Bytes total). It can be expanded with 4 SR-JV80 expansion cards, as well as a PCM and Data card, to provide up to 42 Mega-Bytes of JV Power!

Popularity and Longevity

The JV-1080 was the most popular synthesizer in history, used on more recordings than any other synth. Its rock-solid construction and durability has allowed the JV-1080 to still be widely used to this date. Typically, they are sold on eBay for around $150-$300, making them an incredibly affordable choice for beginners, and musicians with not a lot of money to work with.
