Once upon a time, I bought and fell in love with my JV-1080. As I loved my JV-1080 so much but wanted another keyboard synth, I decided to buy an XP-50. Identical presets, identical setup plus a sequencer. It can't be bad.
Developing a large-ish repertoire of songs for my covers duo meant using all 32 of the JV's user performances plus the 32 on the data card as well as the 32 on the XP (which doesn't have data card expandability), making 96 in all. Finding that backing-up the XP using its disc drive was a piece of cake, I fancied having a back-up of the back-up, so to speak, so dumped the whole of the XP's user memory to Sequencer One's sysex librarian. "No bother" I thought and left it at that...
Now, I don't know whether the 1080 was actually switched-on at the same time as I was dumping/verifying the XP's user memory but somehow the XP's data overwrote all the 1080's user data, despite its memory protect being on! If I'd wanted the XP and 1080 to have identical user sound data, I couldn't have done a better job but I didn't! As I hadn't backed-up the 1080 before the XP scrubbed its memory, I now have to try and piece together each performance memory from scratch.
So, if you've both a member of the XP and JV series in your system, please make sure that the one being backed-up has all of its MIDI connections disconnected from the one that isn't and it's powered off. I found out to my cost that two similar pieces of kit connected on a star system are listening all the time...
