I have two roland xv5050 modules. One in my home studio and…

Hello I am wondering if you can't dump the information directly from one unit to the other without using librarian. I don't know if you have the owners manual. So I am sending the information in that area. If you have no luck with that it is possible to contact Roland direct. (800)(###) ###-####/strong>. They have people there that are more familiar with software and what will and will not work on there units.

I hope this has helped and if you have any additional problems, or would like any additional information or assistance, please do not hesitate to let me know.

And if you can take a second to rate my service by clicking one of the stars at the top of the page, then submit, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Saving Edits to the XV-5050's

Internal Memory (WRITE)

If you turn the power off or select another Patch, Rhythm Set, or

Performance after you have modified a Patch, Rhythm Set or

Performance, the changes you have made will be lost. If you wish to

preserve the data, store it into the XV-5050's USER memory.

Internal Write Protect

The Internal Write Protect setting is provided to help prevent

the accidental overwriting of data in the USER memory. When

saving new data to the USER memory, you must turn off

Internal Write Protect. If you attempt to write data when it is

on, the following display will appear.

fig.05-01

Change the displayed ON to OFF and press [ENTER] to turn

Internal Write Protect off. Press [ENTER] once again, and the

data will be written into the USER memory.

Once you disable Internal Write Protect, it will remain disabled

until the XV-5050's power is turned off.

the Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set or Rhythm Tone is instantly

copied into the Temporary memory when you select it. During
