Problem in performance mode the gm instruments play all weird.

Am I wasting my time trying to access the higher instruments in gm mode .

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks


I have an XV-3080 which probably works about the same as your JV=1080. I think GM mode is exactly that: the GM sounds, period.

To use all the sounds you have to be in performance mode. On my system the way to access the GM patches in performance mode is to access bank H, same as I'd access any other Bank in performance mode.
