documentation for the cubase studiomodule driver jv_1010x.dev
july 10, 2000
www.bluebus.de
first of all: read the manuals - the cubase manual AND the jv 1010 manual, only this gives you full cubase studiomodule satisfaction, yeah!
this documentation can only be seen as additional information on the JV_1010x.dev driver.
! use driver and documentation at your own risk !
installing the studiomodule driver (further called SD)
1.) copy the SD (JV_1010x.dev) to the STUDIO.DAT folder contained in your cubase directory
2.) start cubase
3.) click on modules and select setup
3.) select yes in active and preload
4.) click on exit
5.) click on modules again, and select setup
6.) click on add and find the JV_1010x.dev file in your STUDIO.DAT folder to load it
7.) select roland jv 1010x
8.) select the midi in- and output to your jv 1010
9.) type in the global midi channels for patch and performance mode
10.) depending on your setup, further changings can be made (see the manual)
11.) press OK
performing a data dump
1.) click on modules -> studio module -> patch manager -> perform
2.) a window pops up, choose data dump
3.) click on midi -> receive
4.) watch the hypnotizing status bar growing.
if there's nothing going on, check your midi connection, a bidirectional connection is needed to perform data dumps. have you selected the right in- and outputs in the setup? is the jv-1010 powered on and *NOT* in gm mode? (no dumps can be made in gm mode)
5.) to save the received data, click on file -> save bank.
it is a good idea to save the data to a removable medium (diskette or similar) to have a security backup. the SD is able to change the data in your midi gear (that's what it is for)
access patch mode
1.) create a midi track
2.) click in the empty field under instrument
3.) select roland jv1010x -> patch
4.) click in the patch field
access performance mode
1.) create a midi track
2.) click in the empty field under instrument
3.) select roland jv1010x -> perform/midi child 1-9,11-16/drum
4.) click in the patch field
the macro editor in general and especially in patch mode
the macro editor is a powerful tool to edit the user-patches in your jv (remember? back up your data). it can be accessed by doubleclickin on a patch in the user bank. tone levels, cutoff etc. can be changed , furthermore it detects automatically the used effect type in the patch, and displays up to 8 related efx parameters (between » and « )
if you change the patch using the macro editor and you are not satisfied with the modified patch, press RESTORE (macro editor stays open) and try again, or press ESC to close the window without making any changes.
if you are happy with the sound, press UPDATE (macro editor stays open) or press ENTER (macro editor will be closed) to write the modified patch in the userbank of your jv.
- you have to dump at least the patches of the jv, to use the macro editor in patch mode.
- a parameter (i.e. cutoff) is only changed when its fader is moved and the mouse is released.
- if a value of a fader is 0 doesn't mean that the "true" value in the jv is 0.
- there are two different fader types. if the fader is all the way down, absolute changings are made. this means if you move for example the analog feel fader to 13, the value 13 is sent to the jv (wysiwyg, what you see is what you get). if the fader is in the middle, relative changings can be made. this means if you move for example the cutoff fader to -10, and was 50 before, the value 40 is sent. (ycagwyw, you can't always get what you want).
- if you don't know what the fader does, don't use it.
the macro editor in performance mode,
provides fader for reverb settings and displays the currently used reverb type.
using nam files
per default the jv_1010x.dev SD contains all preset and performance names plus the names of the keyboards-of-the-60s-and-70s-expansion board. if you are using a different expansion board, you can load the patch names in the SD. see the cubase manual for details. if you don't have an additional expansion board, you can delete the names of the xp-b banks.
infos for advanced users
the reverb type fader in the macro editor
if you open the macro editor, the currently used reverb type is displayed on top with the currently edited patch/performance. if you move the fader the reverb type changes but the display doesn't. to display the new reverb type, you have to click on UPDATE.
reverb types are
fader value reverb type 0 room 1 1 room 2 2 stage 1 3 stage 2 4 hall 1 5 hall 2 6 delay 7 panning-delay
the efx type fader in the patch macro editor (marked with » )
if you're absolutly shure to change the effect type of a patch, you can do this by moving the efx type fader to a new value.
example for changing the efx type to efx type 4 (spectrum):
1) open the macro editor
2) move the efx type fader to 4 (the efx type changes, but the "old" faders are still displayed
3) press enter
4) open the same patch again. now the right faders for the currently used efx type are shown.
efx types and the corresponding fader values (or vice versa *g*) are
00 stereo eq
10 hexa chorus
20 time control delay
30 distortion+ delay
1 overdrive
11 tremolo chorus
21 voice-pitch shifter
31 enhancer+ chorus
2 distortion
12 space-d
22 feedback pitch shifter
32 enhancer+ flanger
3 phaser
13 stereo chorus
23 reverb
33 enhancer+ delay
4 spectrum
14 stereo flanger
24 gated reverb
34 chorus+ delay
5 enhancer
15 step flanger
25 overdrive+ chorus
35 flanger+ delay
6 auto-wah
16 stereo delay
26 overdrive+ flanger
36 chorus+ flanger
7 rotary
17 modulation delay
27 overdrive+ delay
37 chorus/ delay
8 compressor
18 triple tap delay
28 distortion+ chorus
38 flanger/ delay
9 limiter
19 quadruple delay
29 distortion+ flanger
39 chorus/ flanger
additional information
if you use performances, it is recommended, that you dump patches, performances and rhythms, the SD needs the information of the patches and drumsets to display the correct partnames.
if you use performances, the patch macro editor is available, but the use of certain faders can turn in unwanted results (especially reverb, all efx and chorus faders). this is because a performance of the jv 1010 can only have one reverb type, one efx type and one kind of chorus at a time.
trendy people with expansion b boards, that have rhythm sets on it, can rename my boring 1,2,3... in the xp b rhythm bank, and save the names.
changes from JV_1010.dev, version 1.00 to JV_1010x.dev, version 1.20
