Roland JP-80×0 Editor – How To Sync Data From Hardware
Performance data and individual layers
Method #1
If PERFORMANCE [1] mode is toggled on, Sync Data from HW [2] button will request performance data [3] and individual parts to the user interface like discussed earlier. This will take some time depending on the selected JP model. JP-8080 requests take a bit longer due to difference in the data package.

Method #2
If BROWSER [1] view is toggled on, Sync Data from HW [2] button will request performance data and individual parts to the user interface just like the previous method. Data mode change doesn’t have a play here.

Individual Layers
You can also make a quick request for individual layers when BROWSER [1] is toggled off. Sync Data from HW [2] will request active data to selected layer [3] instead of complete data request, but ONLY if data mode is set to Patch Mode [4].

TIP: Be patient and do not disturb the data flow with any knob movements or so. This will ensure the data packages are being sent and received as expected and you are not going to receive any SysEx error messages!
If you feel like your MIDI device can do faster requests than what we have set, you can try to play around with the Request Interval multiplier. Open Utilities [1] menu, select Editor Preferences [2] and select first value from the options [3] available. Editor will automatically increase the value if it experiences drop-outs during request process.
