JV-1010 won't respond to sysex
Posted: 20:28, 10 August 2013
Hi,
I have a JV-1010 which I have always just used in "Patch" mode for playing one sound live. For this task it has worked well. But now I'm interested in hooking it up to a DAW and exercising some more of its capabilities. In "Perform" mode, if I use the front panel to assign patches to each channel, it will indeed play multiple parts on different MIDI channels. I can even send patch change messages from the DAW - but not bank change messages.
To try to figure this out, I tried downloading the demo of Midi Quest. It works fine with other devices, but with the JV-1010, it just times out waiting for data.
Digging in a little deeper, I tried manually constructing MIDI messages in Midi-Ox. The JV-1010 doesn't respond to any messages. If I manually construct any RQ1 message, the MIDI light blinks on the unit, but I get no response. Or if I send a universal identity request message:
F0 7E 10 06 01 F7
again, the MIDI light blinks on the JV-1010, but it does not send anything back. I have also tried using 7F (broadcast) instead of 10 (JV-1010) as the unit ID.
If I use the front panel to do a manual data transfer, I receive 648 bytes beginning with:
F0 41 10 6A 12 ...
The dump includes all the performance settings, but no system settings. It does, however, confirm that the JV-1010 is capable of sending SysEx, that my computer is correctly configured to receive it, and that the unit ID is indeed 10.
The problem is not limited to SysEx messages that should elicit a MIDI response. The JV-1010 also fails to accept parameter changes sent via SysEx. For example,
F0 41 10 6A 12 00 00 00 06 10 6A F7
should change the master tuning value. As before, the MIDI light blinks, but no change actually takes place.
In case I had the checksum calculation wrong, I tried all 128 possible values, none of which did anything differently.
Do I just have a bad unit? Or is there some master "don't respond to SysEx" setting and if so, how do I change it?
(And in case anyone asks, yes, the little hardware switch in the back is set to MIDI.)
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Edit: I also found a page in the Roland knowledgebase that says the following command should generate a bulk dump of all configuration data:
F0 41 10 6A 11 01 00 00 00 01 0F 17 01 57 F7
This doesn't work for me either - again, the MIDI light blinks, but the JV-1010 sends no response.
