Sonar X3 and Roland XV-5080 expansion board crisis
I hope someone can help - who has a Roland XV5080 sound Module I would assume would be best to assist
I have a Roland XV-5080 with 8 expansion slots all filled as per below
Expansion Cards
A: SR-JV80-08 60&70
B: SR-JV80-19 HOUSE
C: SR-JV80-04 SYNTH
D: SR-JV80-05 WORLD
E: SRX-01 DYNAMIC DRUMS
F: SRX-02 CONCERT PIANO
G: SRX-06 COMPLETE ORCHESTRA
H: SRX-10 BIG BRASS ENSEMBLE
I have downloaded the Roland Instrument file and have successfully been able to assign midi channels 1 - 16 to the above including the XV-5080 standard out of the box sounds and Drums
Where I am having a problem is that when I define any channel to the expansion cards above A - D (only these) and I select the sound I want it defaults to the XV5080 General Midi Patches -
Sonar does identify all the XV5080 presets as well as the SRX expansions cards and I can change theses accordingly
It doesn't matter if I change the Output/Channel for 1-16 to the different XV-default or expansion cards - its only the SR-JV80 ones that default to GM
Any help would really be appreciated
I am using an Alesis Q88 midi controller keyboard

You need to select the correct bank.
Here is a pdf with the bank numbers
cms.rolandus.com/assets/media/pdf/Selec ... -JV80s.pdf
(Just previewed this and it is not forming a link.
Don't know why. Just copy the url and past in your browser.)
SR-JV80-08 for example, is 11406 for patches 1 to 128 and 11407 for patches 129 to 255 (the patch number sent is 0 to 127 in both cases)
In the 'ins' file, down the bottom, is the bank list and the numbers go in there against the bank descriptions.
All the best

Thanks Royce - Really helped - I managed to work out the default ins files for the JV expansion boards were based on using the JV sound modules in the std roland .ins files - but for the XV series it is different -
Thanks again
Thanks again
