Bulk Dump Check Sum Error Options

[karambos]

I've got a Roland JV 1080 and recently for the the first time ever I got the message "Check Sum Error" when trying to reload a bulk dump I'd saved in my sequencer (Logic). The synth didn't respond to anything - it just kept flashing the message "Check SUm Error" so I eventually switched it off. Then when I switched it on again, the sounds were very strange i.e. there was suddenly lots of reverb and/or delay and/or chorus on patches in my performance where previously there had been none. I didn'T know what to do so I set the synth back to Factory Settings. In the manual it just says you have "correct the check sum".

I scrubbed the bulk dump from the sequencer and recorded a new one. When I played it back to the synth I got the same error message.

My question is: how do I rectify this problem?

I'm not a midi-guru by any means, but…

Most synths have a setting for midi bulk/sysexclusive dumps -
that is a 300 milisecond predelay, -
presumably for NOT overwhelming the your synth while sending/receiving
such data.

Try check your settings to se if the 300ms delay has been changed.
( I'm shure this setting cant changed om some synths, but look it up any way)

Good luck & cheers: Dixiechicken

Before going any further, you should reset JV1080 by sending this SysEx:

F0 41 10 (**) 12 40 00 7F 00 41 F7

(**) = JV 1080's Hex ID; you can find it in the owner manual.

It should reset everything back to normal.
