OS revision history

Changes in each XV-5080 operating-system release, from Roland's release notes.

1.30

  • Fixed a bug where, on rare occasions, the XV-5080 would hang when receiving MIDI data from keyboards connected to both MIDI IN 1 and 2.

1.29

  • Fixed a bug where a sample file smaller than the cluster size of a SCSI disk was not saved correctly.
  • Fixed a bug where overly strict error checking of WAV files prevented the XV-5080 from opening certain WAV files.

1.28

In XV-5080s with serial number AQ22560 and up (September 2002 production).

  • Fixed a bug where pan was affected by other parameters when Legato Retrigger was on.
  • Fixed a bug where Master Volume, Master Fine Tune and Master Coarse Tune didn't return to their initial values after receiving GM ON or GM2 ON followed by GS RESET.
  • Fixed a bug where Partials loaded with the Sample Auto Load feature didn't sound.
  • Fixed a bug where the display didn't update when the Common Split screen of a Multi-Partial Patch was changed by a System Exclusive message.

Known issue: updating may fail with some SmartMedia cards. If it does, update again using the SMF (MIDI file) version, or with a SmartMedia card known to work. Roland never identified which cards are affected, so it recommends updating with SMF files. Cards that can't be used for updating work normally for everyday use.

1.25–1.27

Never released.

1.24

In XV-5080s with serial number Axx1200 and up (September 2001 production).

  • Fixed a level-conversion bug that could make the volume very low when loading Akai S1000/3000 CD-ROMs.
  • Fixed a bug where Patch or Rhythm Set numbers above 128 on SRX expansion boards couldn't be read. (When Roland wrote these notes in September 2001, no SRX board had more than 128; several later ones do.)
