Changing Sounds from an External MIDI Device

You can change patches, performances, and rhythm sets by transmitting Bank Select messages (Controller numbers 0 and 32) and Program Change messages to the JV-1010 from an external MIDI device. That is, selecting sounds on an external MIDI keyboard transmits messages corresponding to the specified sounds to the JV-1010, thus changing the patch or the like on the JV-1010.

■Note on Using an External MIDI Device to Switch Sounds

If an external MIDI device transmits a Bank Select message that is outside the range that the JV-1010 considers as being valid, it is ignored—only the Program Change message is accepted.

When a JV/XP Series MIDI device is connected to the JV-1010, selecting a Wave Expansion C (XP-C) or later bank or sound may result in a switch to a number other than the intended number, so use numbers within the allowable reception range.

For more on which Bank Select messages can be received, refer to “MIDI Implementation” (p. 68).

If the Program Numbers on your external MIDI device are referenced as values from 0 to 127, find the appropriate number by subtracting 1 from the number in this unit’s correspondence chart. The numbers are displayed in decimal format.

On the JV-1010, when just a Program Change message is received without receiving a Bank Select message, only sounds within a group (such as PRESET-A or USER) are changed.

Changing Patches

The JV-1010 can change patches (including the patches for various parts in a performance) in response to the MIDI data it receives.

Here, we’ll set the transmit channel on the external MIDI device and the receive channel on the JV-1010 to 1, then transmit a MIDI message from the external MIDI device to change the patch on the JV-1010 to No. 010 Hip Bass in PRESET-B.

The built-in digital effects processor comes with 40 types of effects, including reverb, chorus, and flanger, enabling users to further enhance their sounds and create unique tonal textures.

The sound generation technology behind the JV-1010 is based on the JV-1080 platform, leveraging Roland's acclaimed 'SR-JV80' expansion board technology. This modular approach allows users to expand their sonic capabilities by adding additional sound banks, providing access to a wide range of genres and instruments. Notably, the synthesizer includes sounds from various musical traditions, from orchestral to electronic, making it suitable for diverse musical styles.

Another key characteristic of the JV-1010 is its user-friendly interface. It features a clear LCD screen and organized button layout, making it easy for musicians to navigate through its extensive library. Additionally, the unit supports MIDI connectivity, allowing it to seamlessly integrate with other MIDI-compatible gear, such as keyboards, drum machines, and computers. This makes the JV-1010 an excellent choice for studios and live performance settings alike.

The compact size of the JV-1010, which allows it to easily fit into a standard rack mount or travel setup, adds to its appeal, especially for mobile musicians. The lightweight design does not compromise its durability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of frequent transport.

Overall, the Roland JV-1010 synthesizer is a powerhouse of sound engineering, providing musicians with a rich palette of tones and textures. Its robust feature set, expansion capabilities, and portability make it a timeless instrument that continues to be appreciated by both seasoned professionals and emerging artists in the music industry.
