Roland JV-1010 Help.
Alan Doyle
I'm a relative newbie into the world of midi. I recently boughta Roland
JV-1010 module and Cubasis VST. I have hooked it up to my comupeter via a
sound card interface. The output comes from my electric piano to the
computer and back into the module -- which is connected via line inputs to
the piano's speakers.
Here is my problem. I do not understand the difference between the regular
patches available in regular patch mode and the patches given in performance
mode? I have only manged to get the performance patch by using VST part
selector..is there any way to access this from the module?
Also, how do you layer sounds in performance mode to a single performance
patch to play all together with one key press on the keyboard?
Lastly, I can't get the vst to change the banks on the module..nothing
happens when i change the bank selector..it only changes the sounds in one
bank.
How can I get this working?
Thanks

I don't know the 1010 well, I use a 1080 - but it sounds like they are similar.
To my mind the difference between a patch and a performance is like the difference between one
member of a band and the whole group. Patches
access a single sound, but a performance is where I set up all the sounds required for a
specific song. As far as how to actually call up a
particular performance number from Cubase, I never do, but I'd say there's either some software
switch which allows the 1010 to change
performances in response to patch numbers, or you need to send a bank change number to access
performance level.
In patch mode the 1080 plays one sound on one channel - obviously.
In performance mode the 1080 provides 16 patch slots (parts) which can each listen on their own
channel, or all listen to the same midi
channel.
You are allowed to assign a unique midi channel to each part - eg part one can be listening to
channel 15 if you want.
By default the assignment in a perfromance is usually part# = channel# (eg part 1 = channel
1.... part 16 = channel 16).
It is easy to go to each part and assign it to the same channel number. That way your
first,say, four parts (say
Piano/Rhodes/Polysynth/strings) can all listen to midi channel one.
In this instance set cubase to send on channel one and you'll fire all four sounds from your
master keyboard.
