The JV-880 is the rack-mount version of the JV-80 keyboard and features powerful multi-timbral capabilities combined with impressive sound editing capability, all in a 1U rack space. The immediate forerunner to the immensely popular JV-1080/2080, the 880 provides the same high quality sounds for which the entire JV line has come to be respected. And like its descendants, the JV-880's sampled waveform memory can be expanded (to 14 Mbytes) using Roland's series of SR-JV80 expansion boards and SO-PCM1 cards.

Editing sounds is done via the rotary encoder that lets you select parameters and set values at the touch of a button. When editing you can audition sounds right from the front panel by pressing the preview button. There are TVF (filter), TVA (amp), micro-tuning, and multiple LFOs. An onboard effects processor with various types of chorus, reverb, and delays rounds out the package. It is used by K.O.

Just picked up a clean 880 at the local pawnshop with the drum and bass expansion and some cards. Paid $100 for it out the door. I'm running a Juno106 and a Korg MS2000B, which are great, but lacking any "realistic" sounds. The 880 has excellent pianos, organs, brass, and much more, and only eats up one measly rack space. I found it pretty easy to use as well. Well worth adding to your kit when you can have so much for very little money.

to the best of my knowledge - fvsr, probably has a bad unit as it does everything it was designed to do- it loads, plays, and can be customized - so it would be hard to beat for the price, unless you run a studio and want to have everything already loaded.
I run one in conjunction with a GR-50 with great results live

Can anyone verify or disprove the point made by fvsr below about the 880 not being able to load percussion sets from the expansion cards? After much web digging, this is the only instance of it being mentioned that I can find. For the price these are going at right now, one with a 'world' card would serve me well I reckon. Be a shame to miss out on the percussion though...
