Roland SRX Expansion in my XV-5050

Hello.

I have the SRX-04 expansion card in my XV-5050. I have no problems playing the stock sounds of the XV from the multi-instrument I've created in Logic. I harvested that multi from the XV environment found on swiftkick.com. But I can't figure out how to set, see and select the expansion card patches from within the patch selector in Logic. I know I might have to manually type in the 128 patch names...unless someone knows of an existing one I can use, and that's fine, but I can't even seem to access it. And, honestly, after years of using Logic I still haven't completely wrapped my head around how the Bank Message thing works with MIDI multi-instruments. I've gotten so used to using soft synths, my MIDI savvy has diminished.

Thanks!

I'm using XV-5050 with Studio SRX expansion card and it's working brilliantly. I'm writing this from work so I'll have to check my setup when I get back home (propably tomorrow...). As far as I know you have to write the program names yourself. I'm using the program change messages only because I can remember the good sounds I frequently use. I'll post back tomorrow if no-one has answered to your question...

provided you've put it in correctly, you just need to access the bank corresponding to the slot.

the first 0-3 (4 banks) (at least on a 1080) are the inbuilt banks then, 4-5 is bank A then 6-7 is bank B and so on.

make sure that you have jv series selected for you MSB in the multi, and you should then get programme messages that will have 2 numbers. the first the bank and the second is the patch or sound.

if you can get a list of the names in the bank you can copy and paste them into the multi. very easy.

good luck - hope this gets you started.
