Ive recently bought a Roland JV1010 and Im having a few problems using the
thing in "Performance" mode.

I've downloaded a "Studio Module" for Cubase to allow me to get access to
all of those lovely 1000+ patches whilst in performance mode and up to a
point I've got the thing working. (I.e. I can select any patch and assign it
to a track and it changes the sound on the appropriate midi channel)

However my problem arises when I say work on the same song the next day.
Firstly the JV1010 has not retained the patches that were assigned to the
performance (I've not done any saving on the 1010 so this is to be
expected). In Cubase the inspector is showing the correct instrument name,
bank number and patch number and name but the only way I can get the JV1010
to play the correct sounds is to go into each midi track and reselect the
instrument (obviously wrong!). Im not sure if it's a JV1010 problem of the
downloaded studio module that's the problem or perhaps something else within
Cubase that's obvious that I'm missing

Any help would be appreciated

I am not at all familiar with Cubase, but I suspect all sequencing software works pretty much the same. Each channel has to have a bank select and patch select MIDI command, delivered by the sequencing program, which sets the JV-1010 channels to the correct bank and patch at the beginning of the sequence. My software (Noteworthy Composer) allows me to set this as a part of the channel definitions for each staff, and I suspect Cubase isn't any different (being it's about 10 times more expensive, I should think so!).

If you are having a hard time finding these settings in Cubase, the following might help. The MIDI command for channel messages begins "Bn" Hex, where "n" is the channel number (0-F hex, 0-15 decimal). Bank select MSB (Controller "O") is between 80-84 decimal, LSB (Controller "32") is between 1-8, for the JV. Patch select is then between 1 and 128 decimal.

For example, the PowerGrand piano in the Preset A group on your JV would have a bank select MSB of 81, LSB of 1, and patch select of 6. The "Studio Module" you downloaded probably just gives name associations with the patch select numbers (instead of choosing "6" you can pick "PowerGrand" out of a list), but the bank selects have to also be set somewhere.

It is supposedly possible to set up your own bank of patches on the JV which would make it possible to select that bank on the JV panel, and bypass the bank select on your software, but seems like more work.

Hope this helps!
