Roland JV-80 / JV-880

Drum Patch Editor

This patch editor ought to work properly with both the JV-80 and the JV-880. However it has only been tested with the JV-880. Please let me know of any discrepancies you discover.

Communicating with Edisyn

Set up for the Drum is more or less the same as setting up for the Multi mode:

Be sure to have the patch/perform button on your JV-80/880 set to "perform". When you set up MIDI in the patch editor, you can specify the MIDI channel and the Synth ID. Set Edisyn's channel to the same as your synth's Part Receive channel for Part 8 (or "Rx ch" for Rhythm -- typically this is preset to 10), and its "Unit number" to the same as Edisyn's Synth ID (perhaps 17). Set Program Change, Bank Select, and Exclusive to ON. Make sure write protect is off if you want to write changes. Finally, make sure the Edit button is OFF or your JV won't respond properly.

Thanks

Thanks to Keith (llamamusic@hotmail.com) for his extraordinary service in loaning a machine in a pinch, providing materials, and debugging. If you are a JV-880 owner, llamamusic.com is a fantastic resource. Thanks also to Phillip Smith (p@phillip.cc) for assistance in debugging with the 1.0 firmware.
