Hello, yes the tempo does precede some of the patch names on the hip hop card. Not that it's much use.

I'll send on a scanned copy of the Hip hop doco in time. I've spoken to Roland UK, a very helpful bunch of people, and I've been reliably informed that Yes you can tempo sync to loops to an external clock.

Perhaps you need to consult the JV1080 manual to work out how to sync the patches.
One thing to bare in mind is that you need to sync all the patch parts (1-4).

Good news, I hope.
