It is a global Super JV/XP problem. The reason I say this is becuase my older XP50 had this same problem. I sold that and got my XP60 in March of 2000.

Remember, the only way to test this is to record something on any track (for this example, use track 1) and while recording insert aftertouch messages by pressing hard on the keys.

When you finish recording, go to MICRO for the micro edit display and press TRACK 1 so it light up. You should now see channel aftertouch messages for both channel 1 and 16 on that track (look at the left hand side of the screen for the channel number).

I think it would be really odd if I had both the XP50, XP60 and JV2080 not to know this. Totty, also while the Super JV OS is written in software, there is a separate effects processor, the software controls this processor, that isn't in the software (at least for these models).

The 3 FX theory only seems to make senxe becuase the JV2080 is the only one that has it. The FX communication is somewhat laggish becuase there is only one address bus for all three processors, but those FX chips are separate from each other and the problems would result in audible effect problems.

The Infamous EPU.
