Hi all. Recently picked up a couple of Roland JV-1080 external hardware synths.

GM Bank works great with BB 2011 - Really low cpu useage and zero latency, my main reason for adding harware synths.

Having problems accurately playing upper bank patches and expansion card patches.

If you're using JV-1080 upper bank patches and expansion card bank patches successfully with BB, please read and reply.

Have tried all the Roland .pat files for the JV-1080 - as well as .pat for Roland GM, JV-2080, JV-1010.

Have read through the .pat files for info and tried writing my own .pat for the JV-1080. I've read all the .pat help and tutorials I can find. No joy.

Reading through the forums, there was a problem a while back with BB playing upper bank patches (which was reported solved with a patch update over a year back). Is it possible this problem still exists for some synths (JV1080)?

I've been trying to work through this for several weeks without success.

I'm wondering, is BB 2011 actually capable of playing the upper patch banks and expansion cards or do I misunderstand?

If someone has a working .pat for the JV-1080 which accurately accesses upper bank and expansion card patches I'd be most grateful to receive a copy. Any advise is welcomed! Thanks
