@Xeraser that is a whole lot of questions. Here are some answers.

1. You have to be extremely careful when you use contact cleaners on those pots. You will dry out the lubricant that came with it. If you do use the cleaner, make sure to lubricate afterward because contact surfaces that dry end up causing excessive wear. For that use a lubricant like Rheolube 716A for its low base oil kinematic viscosity. Best way is to open it, disassemble it, clean, lubricate, reassemble.

2. Editor? Any of the above mentioned or http://akatuystudio.com/?fbclid=IwAR2oe4xoOoLKQDIG9JElYCefvmxX1RB3ZyqUkvMibEKW2bSC6bhLbDtAK_I

3. You can also load all of the patches from JV-80, JV-90 and JV-1000 into JV-1080.Some correction in resonance is needed because JV-80, JV-90 and JV-1000 had two resonance settings, Soft and Hard. Their equivalent on the 1080 are:
Soft setting resonance in JV 80,JV-90,JV-1000 set to max = JV 1080 resonance @ 44
Hard setting, resonance in JV 80,JV-90,JV-1000 set to max = JV 1080 resonance @ 88

4. No but yes! Look here https://www.sector101.co.uk/sr-jv-romulator.html

5. You simply press the EXP button on the Sound Group buttons. Choosing "A" "B" "C" "D" selects one of the 4 expansion cards. Look at page 29 of manual https://static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/JV-1080_OM.pdf

6. Look at 4.

Finally, if you start throwing money into the 1080 very soon you will realize that it could have been better to buy one the the latest Roland synths. Used ones will provide you with more bang for your bucks when it comes to sound selection, accessibility and ease of programmability.
