Commodore Remix

I installed an orchestra expansion in my Roland JV-80, but no extra soundbank pops up. there is ban A, B, intern, to press, how to make the exp board go active ?

Welcome back to the board Rambones!!!

As far as any documents I've read, once you install the expansion board, the New Banks should
automatically appear.

- Inspect the expansion board and make sure the contacts are in clean and in good shape.
- Make sure the Expansion Board is fully inserted and not sitting on an angle or anything.
- Does the JV-80 need a Firmware update to handle the expansion board? Make sure there is no version incompatibility.

i'm more inclined to believe it's simply dead. its inserted correct, and there is no automatic anything happening when i turn the synth on. likely, the exp board is simply just dead. its original from 1992 that i bought in 2004 on ebay cheap. no firmware is needed. the manual says almost nothing, just that you can insert these boards.

Have you checked to see if the teeth are clean at all? Might want to get an "eraser" and run it over the contacts just to clean them.

Though I can't help you with your problem,
nice to see you back here, Rambones!

it's brand new, but from 1992..

hey Romeo Knight! i enjoyed the breakpoint concert via internet. but tell xerxes not to remix your tune so much, i prefer original
