The channels on the JD-Xi can be changed by sysex commands.
You can create a pattern with these sysex commands on the MC909 (tempo/mute track), send it to the JD-Xi through the midi out and then do a pattern save on the JD-Xi.

I don't have my own git branch. In current git master https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/sound/usb/pcm.c procedure "search_roland_implicit_fb", line 297 Replace this line if (!iface || iface->num_altsetting < altsetting + 1) by if (!iface || iface->num_altsetting < altsetting) i...

There is a bug in the Linux snd-usb-audio module that prevents the JDXI from working in duplex mode.
I recently wrote a quickfix that makes it work (at least on my aged 3.14.12 kernel).
If you are able to compile your own kernel i could provide that patch.

There is a version 1.50 supplementary manual at the Roland US site, but no binary yet.

on the 909, if you select pattern call (so the button is lit) before going into resampling mode, you can change between the patterns of this pattern call set with the pads. You cannot dial-in some other pattern or use the cursor key to jump to some pattern though.

panicmerchant: Please tell him the bug should be fixed in 808 AND 909!

<t>Note sustain:<br/> <br/> As written already you can make one part sustain into the next pattern if that part in the next pattern doesn't contain any data.<br/> <br/> So by moving a motiv between two patterns between say part<br/> 1 and 2, you can play sustained notes throughout a complete song.<b...

<t>These are the features, hat are required to make me buy another<br/> HW groovebox, and that i not yet find in the MC909/808:<br/> <br/> 1.Switching between record playback without the need to stop the<br/> sequencer (this also includes switching between the record<br/> modes drum, step, realtime,...

<t>What i recently discovered is, if you have a pattern, where you have a part, that you want to sustain into the next pattern, this<br/> work under the following conditions:<br/> the next pattern does not contain any data in that part AND that<br/> part is currently selected with the select buttons...

Grek, could you enhance it to a true converter by adding AKAi and GIGA support?

For source code ofr reading Akai and Giga Format you can look at some linux
tools (google for linuxsampler, libakai, akaitools).

Good work so far.

<t>I tested sampling (on my MC909) more thoroughly now.<br/> <br/> I found out, that when a sample is assigned to a patch and this<br/> patch is played (No FX, filter off, Volume 100) following two things<br/> occur:<br/> <br/> 1. The resulting sample is played back at -22dB below its original volum...

<r>Thanks for the info.<br/> <br/> I was hoping that there was just a second folder, where the<br/> multisamples are stored.<br/> So this means that you will have toload all samples that comprise the multisample by hand prior to play a multisampled voice ? This would be really bad!<br/> <br/> Anyway...

<t>Actually this is a property of all JV/XV synths.<br/> <br/> The problem seems to be that any wavefrom is attenuated<br/> by 20dB before entering the synth engine (you can see <br/> it from the meters when you resample). The lower bits<br/> seem to be cut only, thus harmonics are laking.<br/> <br/...

<t>Hello all,<br/> <br/> i am a MC909 user, who would like to have multisampling<br/> in the MC909. <br/> <br/> I've already written a utility that converts simple wav/aiff<br/> samples to roland format (so one doesn't have to go<br/> through the TMP folder). May be useful for Fantom-S users<br/> al...
