using roland expansion card

I have a Roland 1010 Sound module with an orchestral expansion card. I can´t figure out how to use the sounds on the expansion card in Noteworthy Composer. The Roland JV 1010 i more or less the same as Roland JV 1080 and JV 2080. Can anyone help.
Thanks
Chris

Since this box supports many more than 128 instruments out of the box, I assume the techniques to access additional sound banks would be the same for the internal sounds, as well as add-on boards. Your manual should spell out how to access additional sounds.

Usually this is done by sending bank select messages. You can do this in NWC from the Instrument selection, either from Staff Properties, or in mid-performance from Insert | Instrument Patch. If the Roland box supports bank select changes, the manual should spell out the settings for Controller 0 and Controller 32 (which combine to form a bank select).
