Using Roland XP-80 .SVQ files with the JV-2080

Hi all, does anyone happen to know if there's a way to upload .SVQ files to the Roland JV-2080?

Here's a little more info. I used to have a Roland XP-80 which is a keyboard version of the rack mounted JV-2080. You could save your instrument sets with the XP-80's onboard sequencer as well as use it to record which I currently still use Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 for now.

Long story short I didn't used to set my instruments from Cakewalk (for some dumb reason) and have a bunch of cakewalk recordings that I don't have the instrument sets for without the SVQ files loaded into the XP-80.

I have the SVQ files locally saved on my computer and want to know if there's a way to load them to the JV-2080 from the PC.

Hey man, I haven't used those particular synths, so my knowledge on the subject is limited. I did some digging around and it seems others have had the same exact question in other places, albeit a few years ago. Unfortunately I was not able to track down a clear and definite answer.

If you still had the original keyboard, I'd say maybe you could export the SVQs to standard midi files, and use a roundabout way to get em into the JV. As far as my digging has turned up, I really don't know if there's a way to just load them straight into the JV unit.

Maybe one of the older members will have some insight on the matter. Maybe there's an SVQ converter floating around somewhere that could at least give you a roundabout way to get em into the JV.

Good luck.
