4. Activate the Create Multiple checkbox and enter a
range of 0–81, because the System Common table in the
manual of the JV-1080 contains 82 parameters, starting
with an index of “0”.
Address1MSB, Address2 and Address 3 are all 0 for all System Com-
mon parameters, so leave them as they are. Enter “index” in the Formula
column for Address4LSB to address each of the 82 parameters sepa-
rately. The dialog should now look like this:
When you click OK, you will notice that 82 new parame-
ters have been added to the System Common node.
You can now set the Names, Min, Max and Default values
for each of the parameters according to the specifications
in the System Common table, as described earlier.
You should now be familiar enough with the basic proce-
dures to continue with other parameter settings and ad-
justments and to finally create your own specific devices.
Important files
Ö For information about in which folders the files are
stored, see the section “Where are the settings stored” in
the Customizing chapter of the Operation Manual.
Device setup XML files
Device setup files as well as panel definitions and other
configuration files are saved as XML. These XML files can
be opened in text editors or some browsers, e.g. the Inter-
net Explorer.
Device setup files can be imported and exported by using
the corresponding buttons in the MIDI Device Manager.
Exporting a single device
As the button “Export Setup” generates an XML file over
all installed devices, you have to use a little workaround to
export a single device setup:
1. Export all installed devices as backup.
2. Remove all installed devices that you don’t want to ex-
port right now.
3. Export the last device again under another file name.
This creates a file for this device only.
4. Import the first backup again to get back all installed
devices.
