I am trying to hook up a Roland JV2080 to my Logic 5 (PC) so i can trigger the sounds from the module and create my own layered tracks. I have gotten as far as getting the synth to recieve the signals (midi message light flashing) but no sound playback is heard. Just midi messages and no sound. I don't know how to set up environments, and this is really frustrating. Any help would be apreciated. Thanks! Dbryant_45@...

Sorry if this is obvious, but working just with the 2080, do you know how to setup "Performances", ie., assigning different sounds to different midi channels and to different physical output/audio channels? In Logic, do you have the 2080 setup as a multi-instrument or as a single instrument? If a single instrument, is it's midi channel parameter what the 2080 is expecting to see? If a multi-instrument, are you putting your sequence on the proper 2080 track? For example, a 2080 multi-instrument will potentially have 16 different tracks -- one for each midi channel -- that you can use in the arrange window. Did you select and use the track/channel the 2080 is expecting to receive on? I don't use a PC, so I don't know what system issues there might be. Adam
