Good day luminaries...

A buddy gave me a Roland JV880 which I don't really need but wanted to experiment and listen to some patches.
I've been through the manual and no help there.

The issue:
I can hear/record both the A/B synth 'patches' fine but I can't hear the drums at all and I've been through countless configurations.
Any midi gurus know if I'm missing some setting on the JV880 itself?

Using Sonar X3 - insert a midi track:
1) JV880 drums .INS file selected in "instruments"
2) JV880 drums routed to channel (8) per manual.
3) JV880 audio out to mixer input.
3) There are (2) banks of drums being 'performance' and "internal" but no "kits" are noted in either. (?) (see attachment)
4) When I hit the controller's keys the meters reflect the drums input fine and I can record just fine.....but I can't hear them?
5) The funny part....if copy/paste a JV880 drums test for a few measures and copy them to another midi track but using my MBD-1 Bass/Drum module for playback I hear them fine.

I tried to make this inquiry clear but not a lot is 'clear' to me in diagnosing midi issues.
If anyone read this and have any suggestions I'm grateful and owe you a pitcher of good beer. smile



Thank to any all....
