Garritan CFX and Pianoteq 7 meet all of my needs. I don't even use the Roland pianos anymore. Pianoteq 7 is a huge improvement over 6. Garritan CFX is worth every penny. If I had to pick one, I would choose Garritan. In either case, playing while listening to them just makes me want to keep playing...

Thank you very much!

When you press on the touchscreen to enable a clip or scene, is a MIDI message sent out that could be used to trigger a clip in Ableton, for example? Thanks.

Were any editing features added in the official 1.5 release?

The first sentence.

Thank you very much!

Surely someone has cracked this nut before. Anyone?

Thank you!

Greetings. I just picked up a very nice XP-30. The aftertouch on the lower half of the board requires a lot of force to activate, but as you move up the keyboard, the force required lowers to something reasonable. To correct this, I assume I need to pull it apart and clean the aftertouch strip? I sp...

Hi. When I power cycle my XV-2020, the patches in the user bank disappear and revert to the factory patches. I opened the top cover, but didn't see a backup battery. Is there a fix for this problem? A Google search didn't reveal anything.

Thank you.

Hi. Late to the game, I know, but are there Sysex files available somewhere that have the 5080 factory patches (user and preset banks)? I'd like to dump them into my 2020.

Thank you!

Hi. Has anyone ever replaced one? If so, what part did you use? I found the Roland P/N: 01785790, which cross references to a custom Alps part: rk09710el-5r4611. I've had zero luck locating this exact replacement. If you have an alternate part that works, please let me know.

Thank you!

I'll give that a shot tomorrow, and report back. Thank you!

Hello. Has anyone disassembled their 8800 to clean dust out from under the glass? I just picked one up, and there is quite a bit of dust in there.

I searched around for a service manual, and on YouTube, with no luck.

Thank you!

Greetings. Are the JV-1010 and XP-30 effectively the same (sound engines), other than the obvious fact that the XP-30 is a keyboard?

Thank you.

Hi. A momentary footswitch (like a damper pedal on a piano) works just as you described. It will only change the rotary to fast speed when you're holding it down. I couldn't find any way in the menus to set the pedal inputs to "latch" like you can the panel switches. I ended buying a latch...
