Why are the waveforms in the XPs/JVs named A, B and C.
For example you have:
Ac Piano1 A
Ac Piano1 B
Ac Piano1 C

What does A,B and C mean. What is the difference between them? Somtimes you
just have the "A"- and "C"-waveforms, and no "B".
And what does it mean when the name ends with for example "A+" or "1+" ?
Some waveforms also end with "p", "f" or "mf". (Ac Piano2 pA, Ac Piano2 fA)

I would be happy if someone could explain this to me.... :-)

The letters A, B and C are waveforms variatios of the same sample. When the sample itself is a major sound change, you have a number (like Organ 1, Organ 2, organ 3...).
p, mf and f are pianos
p= piano
mf= mezzoforte
f= forte
This info is in a Roland S700 Sample Library; Roland uses the same naming convention in the JV/XP synths and expansion boards.

Also Roland refers to synths of others makers as abbreviations
MG = Moog
KG = Korg
P5 = Prophet 5
OB = Oberheim
OBXP = Oberheim Xpander

One exception:
JP-6 and JP-8 are Jupiters, but Roland has a copyright issue on the name...
