I've just spent an hour and a half loading Sonar 7 up, scribbling notes with all the necessary procedures, menus, button presses, and the like to make this work.
I used my JV-2080 as a pretend 1010..
Low and behold, you've sussed it.
Well done mate.. Takes a bit of time, but once it's set it works a treat.
I guess it could have been worse, I could have spent an hour or so typing it all up, and then found this message.. I think I would then be swearing a fair bit.
I assume you set MIDI channels 1 to 9, and 11 to 15 as 'Roland JV-1010 Patch.
Then set MIDI channel 10 as 'Roland JV-1010 Rhythm',
and used MIDI channel 16 as 'Roland JV-1010 Performance'
Now the names in the 'USER' patches, performances, and rhythm areas may not match your own 1010 if you have loaded in your own data, or data via the net.
You could rename them manually, perhaps a copy and paste if you have a file of the new names. Depends how much you use the 'user' memories.
The preset, and session presets will remain constant as these are in ROM.
As you are currently using a demo version, you may not be able to save the set-up you have.
I used to use Logic, it had a default 'arrangement' with my MIDI set-up, and was automatically loaded in each time I used it.
I have done a similar 'default' song, which I can load in on start up, but you have to select it when Sonar starts up.
I think you enjoy arranging your MIDI sequences more with Sonar than you did with your previous program.
Depending on your computers CPU power, and soundcard, you might even find a few software instruments work reasonably well too.
Happy sequencing..
Now going to throw away may scribbled notes..
[censored]!
whoops ime so sorry about that - i posted my solution at 10 ystday - i only get in at 1030 pm each day so didnt get chance to post till following morn so sorry u didnt see it sooner.
what a great bunch you are on this forum - so helpful n friendly. many thanks.
guess what .. another question arising from your comments ..
putting jv 1010 performance to ch16 ... i dont have that option in my definition file, only session .. and the bank selector on the actual module only has session. there is a perform option on the module but it is in the value/mode area
I have the following options:
user
preset a
preset b
preset c
preset gm (d)
preset e
session 1 to 128
session 129 to 255
As you see its split the session bank into 2 groups
is it these
also what does putting 1010 performance or session to ch 16 do.. is it just another bank to separate out into another channel..
Sounds as if you've assigned MIDI channel 16 to the normal patch selection instrument definition.
The list you've provided should be available on all the channels.
Channel 10 is normally reserved for the drum / rhythm part. So this need to be assigned as "Roland JV-1010 Rhythm".
Assigning 16 to "Performance" rather than "Patch" will allow you to switch the 1010's performance templates (the multi-tambral arrangements).
The 'Session' group of patches is split into two groups as the Session expansion board is built into the 1010. This board contains 255 patches, more than the program change table can select.
If you fitted an expansion board to the 1010, depending on the board, it too would split it's patches into two groups. (I think the 'Piano' board contained less than 100 patches)
