Good Soundfonts have seamless loops for sustained notes like pads and strings.
If you own a hardware JV-1080, you can create your own soundfont. Use a MIDI interface to trigger single notes (C1 through C8) and record the audio output into a DAW. Use a tool like or Samplerobot to chop the audio and export an SF2. This takes 6 hours, but you get your specific unit’s analog noise floor.
Years later, long after Maya's album had faded into the catalogs of niche labels, someone released a freeware soundfont titled "JV‑1080 — City Remains." It included many of the patches Maya had helped expand and the field recordings she'd contributed. The download page had a single line of text: "Take only what sings. Leave the rest for someone else to find."
While not a soundfont, this is the official software recreation by Roland . It includes over 1,000 waveforms and the full 78 MFX effects chain, which most soundfonts cannot replicate. Core Features Replicated Roland JV-1080 Soundfont (Beta) - Musical Artifacts
