Howdy rharv & Mike.....

SUCCESS at just this moment....I need a drink!

It's an antiquated unit (1992) but I occasionally get gripped in solving an issue and this was one of them.

OK....if you have a JV880 and experienced the same issue?
As I'd responded to beatmaster I did try channel 10 (Cakewalk default for drums) also during my ignorant gyrations with X3 and setting within the unit itself with no luck.
I tried everything and everyone here knows you try so many combinations that getting lost is quite effortless.

THE REMEDY....to hear the synth patches obviously one would deduce you have to push the 'Patch' button in which it will be LIT.
Then choose your instrument in your software or by using the scroll knob.
What I stumbled upon was in order to hear the drums you should NOT have the 'patch' button pushed....disengage it, UNLIT.
Also, drums only work on CH. 10 in X3.

It was a total fluke that I discovered this solution and I saw nothing in manual that specified that....maybe I'm just getting daft in my old age.

Thanks to those that tried to offer some help/suggestions.
Did I mention I need a drink. smile
