Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get free JV/XP patches. I've tried looking all over the web but have not yet been very successful. Thanks.

Hello!
Go to http://www.synthzone.com/roland.htm. You will find many JV/XP-related links there.
And some patch resources at the lower part of the page.

Here is a really good place to get some patches or banks. Note that the banks will replace the sounds in your USER bank. So make sure you save your current User bank onto disk "BEFORE" you play the .mid file.
