JV-1080 - patch mode question

[npalmer]

I am new to the JV-1080 and am having some trouble getting sounds to play in patch mode-- well, I can't get any sound unless I'm in performance mode. The parameter button is off, the little asterisk is in the window, the midi message light is indicating imput...what's wrong?

Have you tried asking this on a dedicated platform for VS recorder users?
I use a VS880EX, so I don't really see what you asking. Here is a link you might be want to use:

I always found answers there, about VS recorders, that is. Good luck.
With musical regards from Belgium.

Oh now I see it after reading again, this is not a VS-1080(New Model?) but a "synthesizer".
NPALMER,
Maybe you posted this problem in the wrong Forum. Well, I now realise that I was wrong with my answer. Sorry, for wrong advise. Look for SYNTHESIZERS.

Since this is a Roland forum and the JV is a Roland product.....

The midi light goes on the the JV1080 no matter what channel the midi data is coming in on. I think patch mode only receives on channel 1... therefore, check the midi channel. Just a guess

Dear RJT,
I fully agree. I was wrong, and I hate to say it, but it's probably me. Good luck.
I also use a Roland JV-30.
I should read more carefully.(and I will)
Regards,
Hano

The correct answer is: the JV-1080 in PATCH mode is set to receive on channel 1. Thanks for the help! Sorry I posted in the wrong forum.
