Hi guys

I have a Roland JD-08 Boutique and I converted the sounds from original sysex by Francis Rimbert to Roland JD-08 and Roland Cloud.

In this archive you can find the original sysex files from Rimbert, backup of JD-08 with factory sounds (Bank A&B)+ Rimbert's sounds (Bank C&D) and Roland Clouds sounds. You can find also JDTools, an utility than I have used for conversion.

*for load sounds into JD-08 please refer to instruments manual in restore backup section.

Best Regards.

Thanks, man! I got hold of a JD-800 Chronologie 2 lead .syx file right after the Roland Cloud JD-800 VST was released, but since no one made a similar preset converter for the VST as they did for the D-50, I lost interest. This should do fine

Sounds good - many thanks! https://soundcloud.com/virtualstudioabuse/cover-chrono2

Tried to convert the organ .syx file I already had - even tried the "JDTools convert syx <input.file> <output.syx>" method but the resulting file was 0kb in size and completely empty - but Roland Cloud couldn't load it. Other .syx files I tried (KBMag.syx for example) were processed just fine. Included the .syx file here just in case.

Opening the original patch itself in Notepad (for what it's worth) does show some content and a patch name, tho'

I also tried to convert your VST file to bin format with the following command:

Code: Select all

D:\Roland JD-800\Chrono_Organ>JDTools convert bin Chrono_Organ.syx Chrono_Organ.bin

Oh well, so it goes. Thanks for trying, in any case!
