Programming
for MIDI Breath on the Roland JV1010

Set your EWI
module to send MIDI Breath (CC#2). In order to get a sound on the
JV1010 to respond to breath, you have to change the controller that
the patch is set up to respond to (note, this is a very basic
explanation because in reality there are many types of controllers
and many things that can be controlled by them). The JV1010 has 3
System wide controllers that are basically set up globally for all
the patches in the system. When you modify a controller for a patch,
you can either make a direct controller assignment such as BREATH
CC#2 controlling Volume or you can set it up as SYSCTRL2 to control
Volume which is how most (if not all) the patches are set up.
Then you would just assign
BREATH to SYSCTRL2, effectively changing that controller assignment
throughout the entire JV1010. For your information, SYSCTRL1 is
assigned by default to MODULATION and cannot be changed, but you can
change SYSCTRL2 & SYSCTRL3. I don't believe that you can change
the SYSCTRL with the JV version of Soundriver that comes with the
JV1010, which is why I suggested getting the JVEdit99
software. One final note, as I mentioned, get the wind
controlled patches from Matt Black at Patchman Music. They work well
in the JV1010. Also, when I installed them in my unit, something
interesting happened. It automatically changed one of my SYSCTRL's
(no. 2 I think) to BREATH which basically made the change I
suggested to you above. Other than making some additional
adjustments to Portamento and Legato, I could play most of the
sounds with my controller.
