Hai,
I found the following info at Music Machines. Unfortunately Winky wasn't
able to point me in the direction of RELEVANT information. I'm sure I've
seen a downloadable EPROM update somewhere...just don't remember when/where.
Maybe if you search the net intensively it might turn up again. Sorry for
that. But I wonder, with this download you'd still have to burn your own
EPROMs, not? Are you able to do that yourself?
Maybe it's the best solution to contact Roland after all. Asking won't hurt,
will it?
Good luck,
RVe

I found the midi data sheet for the 6.0 EPROM version which I have
installed too:
After power on following messages are sent:
Ch1, all notes off, omni off, poly on
If you configure in whole mode a Midi Channel, say 1, then, if you split
your keyboard, the upper part will have channel 1 and the lower part will
be channel 2.
If you are in ch-A upper part configured to MIDI channel 16 then the lower
part is automatically assigned to MIDI channel 1.
So always remember: lower = upper + 1 as long as upper < 16.
TRANSMITTED DATA:
If MIDI channel is changed, following messages are sent:
OFF messages for being ON notes,
Old ch-A (and ch-B) ALL NOTES OFF, OMNI OFF, POLY ON
New ch-A (and ch-B) ALL NOTES OFF, OMNI OFF, POLY ON
NOTE ON messages for being pressed notes.
When PATCH PRESET button is pressed, following messages are sent:
OFF messages for being ON notes,
ch-A (and ch-B) ALL NOTES OFF, OMNI OFF, POLY ON
ch-A (and ch-B) PROGRAM CHANGE,
NOTE ON messages for being pressed notes.
When all notes turn OFF:
ch-A (or ch-B) ALL NOTES OFF
Tune command is transmitted, too.
RECOGNIZED RECEIVE DATA:
After power on following receivers mode is set as follows:
OMNI OFF, POLY
(power on with TUNE button pressed: OMNI ON, POLY. When MIDI channel is
channged, the OMNI mode will be turned OFF)
Tune is recognized, too.
Hope this gives you enough information because thre is not much more to
tell. It's still one of the first MIDI compatible synthesizers. But it
simply sounds great.
Have fun.

Keep pressing the TUNE button while you select via the PATCH and NUMBER
buttons.
