Hello there from Merry England - I've been and got me a JV1010 and can't get it to play along with me Yamaha DX7II. Up to this time, I've been trapped in the world of Yamaha. All of my equipment is of the same make. In an attempt to upgrade to newer sounds, I went for the cheap option - and got the JV1010 and TWO expansion cards. Great stuff, but as I said, I can't get the USER PERFORMANCES to perform.
You guys seem to have it all sussed. Any advice?
Please - keep it simple - I'm no rocket scientist.
Cheers!!!

hi there

Still happily using a 1080. Works for me [student]!. Provides all I need...an organ, a rhodes and a great acoustic piano. I use it with a FATAR sl880. Low budget, great sound

Hi!
Well, my question goes out to all those roland xp users (and whatever else may apply). I have a bunch of software programs on my computer, like cakewalk and sound forge and acid pro, but I'm having trouble hooking the xp up to the computer. The problem is that the jacks on the xp are 1/4" and the input on the computer is 1/8". There are a couple of things that I was thinking of doing, and maybe somebody could help me decide. One, I was just going to hook the xp up to my digital 4 track, record the songs onto that, and then hook the four track up to the computer (it has 1/8" outputs) and record them onto one of my audio programs on there.
Two, I was looking at these midi converter boxes (you can buy two, four, six, or eight input/outputs) that you hook your midi instrument up to then I guess you hook that up to the computer and it acts as a kind of adapter. (I'm not too sure on that, I think that's what it does)
What do you think the best thing to do would be? What would get the best results? And would I lose quality in the sound?
One more question,
When you record from the xp onto a recorder (such as a computer or dig. 4track)using the midi cables...does it automatically seperate the different parts or midi channels? How does that work? Like if I used this method to record onto cakewalk and I had four tracks recorded on the xp, and I hook up the midi to the computer and press record on the PC, would it automatically record four seperate tracks? As you can see, I'm very confused. Please help!

Hi, I'm Dave from Melbourne, Australia.

I just bought myself a JV1080 because they're so cheap now. It's a fantastic little machine, especially if you take the time to learn how to program your own sounds.

My only gripe is that I'm now trying to configure Logic Audio to work with it, and I'm not having much luck. Think I'll post another thread about this.

Cheers.

Hi, I'm Max from Austria
I've got an XP-10 (and the very old arranger E-15, but I think this will not count). I wanted to buy an XP-30, but it's not available any more in Austria ...

I've got a JV-1010 and an XV-88.

I had a Fantom which I returned 1 week later. Cheesy keyboard action I just couldn't warm up to. But a very nice GUI, sequencer, arp's & rhytm generator.
