Hi all,

Reports of MIDI timing problems with the JV-2080 have reached legendary status, regardless of whether it is pure urban legend or has some basis in fact.

I agree with the others who say to analyze the data stream to make sure controller info. isn't clogging the works, check for MIDI loops, etc.

Interesting bit about 'phase lock': what I'm wondering is, what about using other modules along side the XV-5080? They aren't 'phase locked'.

Regardless, one could make an argument that the XV-5080 contains 2 MIDI IN's for a good reason: Roland learned a lesson about the importance of parallel MIDI processing with the 2080.
