Chinese instrument sounds include the Er Hu, Yang Qin, Suona and many others, while Gamelan (Indonesian orchestral music) instruments includethe Jegogan, Jublag and Pemade. Also featured on the SR-JV80-14 are Indian instruments like the Table, Dholak, Dhol, Sitar, and Santoor, along with many other Korean and Japanese instrument sounds.

Phrase loops include both Standard (even-metered) and Asian-style rhythms that can be tempo sync'd to the XP-60/80 Music Workstations and JV-2080 64-Voice Synthesizer Module. The board's expressive possibilities are enhanced further with bender lever and Arpeggiator functions.
