NEED Help! About JV1010

[shel_keys]

I own a JV1010, im trying to edit some sounds using a Sounddiver installed on my notebook. The prob is, sound diver can not recognize the JV1010, i'm having a mesage of, JV1010 not responding. I have check all the connection and its all on the right settings.

Question 1.

Can i used a usb-midi cable (interface) to connect my JV to my laptop? or i should use the provided 7 pin cable that fits the port of the JV at the back panel, and the other end going to PC.which the other end is not USB so can not connect to my laptop.

I have installed the Roland JV 1010 driver for Win xp on my notebook.

During installation, there was no option to sellect which port you want to connect. Given during installation is COM 3 only. which i think is the port to connect the end cable i'm refering to my question #1. which my notebook doesnt have.

Question 2.

Does it mean i ca not use a USB-MIDI cable to be able my notebook to comunicate with my JV? Does it mean i can only connect my JV to a desktop which mostly have the end port (the one that we use to connect a printer to our desktop, the old shool cable)?

Hope to hear from experts out there. Thanks so much.

Hi, when you say "sounddiver", are you refering to the defunkt product by Logic? Or are you refering to the software included in the CD-ROM that comes with JV1010?

What exactly are your connections currently? How is your JV1010 connected to you notebook?

There is no USB-midi cable - such a cable doesn't exist as already pointed out in a recent similar thread. You'll need a midi interface which comes in the form of a box - one end has a USB port which connects to the USB port of your notebook; the other end has the 5-pin midi ports which connects to your module/keyboard via standard midi cables.

Your first question is quite vague. Does your notebook have the port that connects the PC port of your JV1010 or not? If it does, then it should be a problem for your notebook to detect it. Check you device manager for any device conflicts.

Atached is the pic of the USB-MIDI Cable im using to connect JV to my notebook, This cable works well for me in connecting my keyboard to my notebook for sequencing via CUBASE SX.

The other cable is the 1 with the PC port end to connect to JV to PC, which my notebook doesnt have that kind of port, (the gray end of the cable)

Sounddiver by EMAGIC is the one im trying to use for JV. comes from the CD-ROM of the JV, (i think, coz its only a copy from the seller of the JV i bought.) anyway, i ask a friend who owns a JV for a copy of the CD ROM for JV, same thing i get, Sound diver and the driver of JV for PC.

my current set up,

USB end of the cable-USB of my notebook, MIDI IN of cable to MIDI OUT of JV, and MIDI OUT of cable to MIDI IN of JV.

This is the set up im doing in connecting my keyboard to my notebook.[img]

Sorry I can't see the pics, but your USB-Midi "cable" is probably a USB-Midi interface that's built-into the cable. Doesn't matter - the main thing is that the interface requires drivers to run. It is not a plug-and-play solution like a simple USB cable you use to plug in other hardware or your USB drive.

So it seems your sounddiver does not recognise your JV. First of all, I believe Sounddiver, being a defunkt product of Emagic/Logic, runs on 98/ME/2000/NT. The last time I checked the specs, they did not mention XP. That does not mean it will not run on XP, but it is a possibility.

Secondly, check if your Cubase detects your JV-1010. If it does, the problem lies with your Sounddiver which cannot support XP.

Next, do a search on various Roland websites to see if they have any updated editing software that replaces Sounddiver for your JV-1010.

shel_keys, saw your pix. both cable should work. the only thing like you mentioned is that your notebook does not have the game port to plug in the serial-midi cable.

i got 1 tip, you know the usb-midi cable has 1 MIDI IN and 1 MIDI OUT right? try to swap the connection to your JV midi port. Sometimes, MIDI IN cable means connect to MIDI IN of JV. Sometimes, MIDI IN cable means connect to MIDI OUT of JV. weird but ... true.

the next thing you want to make sure is that your JV is set to accept midi signal.

also, set the JV to Sequencer mode. make sure all the midi channels are set. Track 1 = Channel 1. Track 2 = Channel 2. .......

if nothing works, let me know and we continue to troubleshoot.

Cheez, thanks for the info re Sounddiver, i did notice now that the driver did not mention about XP, CD's got driver for,95,98,2000/NT

As imentioned, my USB-MIDI interface wokrs well when i'm using it to connect to Cubase on my notebook.

I've browsed Roland sites also, and only got, Software version updates, but nothing mentioned about lastest for Sounddiver etc.

Cubase can not recognize my JV either.

I'll try soft's suggestion now and see how it works.

Soft:

So you mean, my USB-MIDI cable should be no problem if i use with my JV?

I remember doing your suggestion to set up MIDI IN cable-MIDI IN JV but im gonna try try again and jope it works.

Coz i'm about to go to SIMLIM now and ask around if i can find a cable (PC port for JV and USB at the other end) or any other converter to convert the Game port of the cable to USB.

Thanks a lot guys.

I believe Cheez is right. The Sounddiver for JV-101 doesn't run properly if at all under WinXP.

The other thing is the driver.
Why did you install the Roland drivers? It's only for the serial interface.
You are using MIDI; you should install the driver for your MIDI interface and switch the JV-1010 to MIDI (the little switch on the back panel).

1) Setup error. The MIDI interface device you should choose in Cubase is for the USB MIDI interface, NOT THE ROLAND ONE.

The USB MIDI interface's driver should be installed.

2) If you want the serial - MIDI interface, suggest you go to 6th floor SunPC. The lady knows how to make one. She has a schematic based on a Yamaha Serial MIDI interface!! (don't worry, it'll work, just like how a Korg MIDI cable works for Roland equipment).

3) The serial MIDI driver on the CD-ROM is dated. You might want to use an updated version from Edirol

http://www.edirol.net/products/en/SC-8820/#

Goto download and download the latest serial driver and install it (don't worry, I even got it to work with an Alesis Nanosynth).

But try the 1st suggest first - ie get the config right.

Weow! saved my money! thanks lowjk, and thanks to all who reply, you all a big help! Cheez and Soft!

Finally get to hear the sound of JV from my project in cubase. First time to own a JV.

Now i just have to figure out how to edit JV when my sounddiver isnt working for me or my XP that is.,,

By the way, can JV play a multitimbral? First time to own a Roland, been a Korg user ever since, so im not too familiar with the terms on the manual, (if there are any diffrence in terms they use, that is.) coz in korg, i never have to use my manual. very userfriendly for me.

Thanks again.

If you are on Cubase SX, you could try this:

I'm not so I can't you if it works.

Yes, the JV-1010 is a multitimbral instrument. You just have to explore the manual a bit (it's on the CD). May look and sound unfriendly but that's why it's so cheap for the quality.
