Using MIDI to Select Patches on the JV-1080

You can select sounds or drum kits from an external MIDI device (sequencer, controller keyboard, etc.) using Control and Program Change messages. On the JV-1080, Patches, Performances, and Rhythm Kits are selected via MIDI using Bank Select (Control Changes 0 and 32) and Program Change messages. Use the following to determine the combination of values needed to select a sound:

MSB Value = Bank Select

LSB Value =MIDI Bank Select #
Program Change
Patch Group
JV Patch Number

Some sequencers do not allow you to define values for Control Change 0 and 32 in an event list. If this is the case, the sequencer will typically require a single Bank Number. The formula for calculating this number is as follows: (Controller 0 value) x 128 + (Controller 32 value). We have provided the Bank Select numbers that apply to the JV-1080 in the third column of the chart above. Use the following examples as a guideline when changing Patches through MIDI:

EXAMPLE: To access Patch USER: 001 “Symphonique” we need the following messages:

* Controller 0 with a value of 80, Controller 32 with a value of 0, and Program Change 0.
or
* Bank number 10,240 and Program Change 0.
To access Patch PR-C: 112 “Cascade” we need the following messages:

* Controller 0 with a value of 81, Controller 32 with a value of 2, and Program Change 111.
or
* Bank number 10,370 and Program Change 111.
