All about the Roland Jupiter-series

I just got a Version 4 MKS-80 (w/ MPG-80) after having sold my Version
5 a while ago and find it responds differently to sysex than the V5. I
had a Midiquest file and setup saved and all the patches load into the
new one easily. Trouble is, I can't trigger a sysex dump any longer,
it does not respond to requests from Midiquest as the V5 did. Is it
likely there are differences in implementation between the 4 and 5?
Anyone have a V4 and able to dump from the unit?

I'll tell you one thing though, the V4 is far more alive and bigger
sounding than the V5.

Hello,

Maybe u have an older OS version ?
i don't know what is the latest (5.0 maybe be the one)
but u can find out :

To check the OS version hold down the Auto Tune and Write
buttons and power the unit on.

i am sure ver 4 is better ..
.. the Roland IR-3R09 VCF chips are FANTASTIC !
