Hmm.

I would also like to know the answer to Bob's (rharv) question: how exactly are you trying to access the higher patches now?

I select an instrument button in BIAB and then click on the little plus sign to the left of the volume box. First, you load the .Pat file (once) and then you should be able to select the desired patch from the pull-down menu at left. Do the same for each instrument.

I do NOT set GM mode on in BIAB or the Roland.

I DO set Performance Mode (not Patch Mode) on the Roland, and it can be set to boot up that way.

I do NOT select anything special for the .DK in BIAB; I just let it use the General MIDI. Granted, it has been many years since I cared about MIDI drums when I have RealDrums.

The Roland JV-1080 was very popular but was last produced ten years ago, about the time I started using Roland synths, so my knowledge that is based on their newer units may not be applicable.

Hope that helps.
