JV1080 .ins file?

[John Davey]

Hi, I know probably a long-shot, but would anyone have access to instrument definitions for an old Roland JV-1080 - particularly the Orchestral expansion board?
Cheers,
John

Did you search on the internet. That’s how I found one for my Korg. 
 

Edit: mr T Parker. What is it about my reply that deserves a thumbs down ? The answer I gave is the best advice I have to offer and it was a productive solution to the OP issue.

I had a problem finding a .ins file and I simply Googled it at found it on another music forum. It’s a lot faster than waiting for a reply.
 

People are always sharing them. They are a lot of work to create your own. 
The chances are much slimmer that someone here will see this post and actually have it. But that would be great.

Thanks - I haven't managed to find one yet.

I found a few places here’s one from the old Cakewalk form. Boy there’s some old names there haven’t seen for a long time.

Therez a lot of information and even people have written editing software for it. It’s a little newer than my GR50 which was also hard to find ins files for but you just keep digging on the internet and a huge source is these old user forums.

It's been a while since I had a JV-1080 (some wiener stole it) so I can't test these, but they used to work.?
There's the master file with all the core banks, one for Orchestral 1, and one for Orchestral 2.
