Yes we know that site, it's the prime and best source for synth firmware on the net and has been for years - but if you'd checked, it has zero JP8000 or JP8080 dumps, so in this context, it's meaningless, unless someone posts them there...

 

Yes @dkny , i'm sorry, you are completly right, my bad. I overlooked and saw 8080, it was 880. Sorry again. Let's wait, we'll manage to get this somehow!

 

Maybe we can use these presets from the original JP 8000 soon. They are in *.SYX format, here are the Links:

No problem to dump ROM for TUS.
Seen what they have done to the chip at the end of the video ?

They already have at least one dump, because they used it in their synth audio demo.
They just need to "leak it" silently

 

If you look at the new promo image, youll see the os loaded as 0001.. 0008.mid file, so are these those files that dled from Roland site?

 

This is the content of the Roland JP 800015. 8x Midi (*.mid) The Roland Read Me! is attached.

 

correct, everyone can download it yourself:
Roland - Support - JP-8000 - Updates & Drivers

 

Roland's servers must be surprised by the increased downloads of old drivers.

Previously, we were searching for the JP-8080 firmware, but since there’s no sign of a separate version, it’s most likely they made the same firmware for both versions of the synthesizer.

Exactly what i said earlier : they dumped it themselves. Because dumping a ROM for TUS is like taking a coffee.
Frankly, this is not a problem at all. It is even the easiest part.

 

JP-8000 Operating System Version 1.05 (PC) (279K)

This is the latest operating system available for the JP-8000 Music Synthesizer. Please look at the Readme file for information on how to install the operating system. Note to PC users: You will need the PC SMF Update Application if you do not have access to a sequencer program.

PC SMF Update Application
This is an application to update a Roland product from a PC if you do not have access to a sequencer program.

Directions for using UpdateSMF

This is an application for playing back Standard MIDI Files that can be used in place of a full-featured sequencer or librarian program. This application is only available for IBM compatible computers at this time. You will need a MIDI interface on your computer to use this program.
Here is the procedure to use this application:

1) Copy the file "updateSMF.exe" to your computer.
2) Launch the application by double clicking on the appropriate icon.
3) Click on the arrow by MIDI Out Device and select the MIDI output you wish to use.
4) Click on Path and use the browse dialog box to locate the Standard MIDI Files you have downloaded (they should be in a
directory by themselves) and click on OK.
5) Click on Scan SMF, you should see a number of files appear in the window immediately next to this button.
6) Press SEND to begin transmitting the files. The application will send all of the files sequentially.
7) When the update is completed, press Exit.

Well that's taking reverse engineering to a whole new level..

 

There´s new high quality promo photo on DSP563 Discord. In that pic, there wasn´t .bin loaded but .mid as OS

 

Hello @Legotron, have a nice Sunday and thanks for the great news.
It's a real surprise that it now says *.mid. Can we use the Roland driver then?

 

We don't know before it's released

 

You know I posted a link to this on the previous page, right?

 

Can't find this [on the DSP563 Discord], where did you see it? general-chat, vip-chat, roland-chat (I'm following all those) or somewhere else?

This demo uses 32 instances. Every sound you hear is from the JE-8086 emulator, including the orchestral intro and the outtakes. All presets are made from scratch from an init patch and are available on our Discord upon release. Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/WJ9cxySnsM

FAQ:
