I heard that It is possible for Roland JV-1080 real hardware to play any General MIDI file by change it into GM mode.
https://rolandus.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/article … bile_site=false

I tried trial version of JV-1080 vst plugin , but I cannot found any way to change it into GM mode.(JV-1080 vst plugin doesn't have any SHIFT or PERFORMANCE or PATCH button unlike real hardware of JV-1080)
I also tried trial version of XV-5080 vst plugin,But It can neither change it into GM mode.
Is there anyone who have tried JV-1080 or XV-5080 vst plugin from Roland cloud and succeed to play normally any General MIDI file?

My understanding is that, according to page 76 of the manual, sending a "GM System On" SYSEX message to a JV-1080 should toggle it into General MIDI mode .
The SYSEX message to send is F0 7E 7F 09 01 F7 .

This is also known as a GM RESET .

Thank you very much for your rapid reply! By the way,I always use SAVIHost for DAW in order to load vst plugin,and It seems that there is no options which is able to send SYSEX message of "GM System On" in its menu.
Is there any good method to send SYSEX message of "GM System On" in SAVIHost DAW?

You will need to send the SYSEX message file gmreset.syx using an application such as MIDI-OX or, simply play the GMRESET.MID MIDI file through the JV-1080 using a MIDI file player (SYSEX message is embedded).

This should work, if the emulated JV-1080 behaves like a real one . I have never used either, so I do not know .

EDIT : I used MIDI-OX to create the SYSEX file and SYX2MIDI (DOS program) to embed it in a MIDI file . I have attached SYX2MIDI to this post in case somebody needs it . If there are better ways to embed SYSEX messages in a MIDI file, please let me know .

I extracted "GMRESET.MID" from gmreset.zip which you have attached in this thread,and played it,but It seems that it fails to toggle "JV-1080 vst plugin" into GM mode.
I used the form below to send a message which ask about method how to toggle "JV-1080 vst plugin" into GM mode in order to normally play any midi files of General MIDI specification.

If I receive any response from Roland Cloud I'll post it on this thread.

I'm sorry for too late reply.
In fact, I have not received any message since I had sent a message to Roland Cloud.
So I resend a message to Roland Cloud yesterday, and I finally got below answer about my question.
It seems that Roland intentionally have disabled JV-1080 vst plugin from toggling into General MIDI mode....

Thanks for contacting us.
Sorry, the JV-1080 doesn't include the General MIDI mode.
