Roland JV-1010 Problem

I know the JV-1010 is kind of old, but hopefully someone out there is still using it and can help me out.
I'm using the JV with Cakewalk and a MIDI keyboard.  When I start a session, everything works fine.  However, as time goes on, I experience this strange problem.  Here's what happens:

I start recording on Cakewalk.  I allow one measure lead-in, and then start playing my keyboard.  The first notes I play should therefore appear at the start of measure 2, but instead, when I stop recording, I find that they appear at the end of measure 1.  The longer I use Cakewalk, the worse the problem gets.  After a few hours, a note which I record at the start of measure 2 will be recorded by Cakewalk as being on the 3rd beat of measure 1 (assuming we're in 4/4 time.)

If I unplug the JV and try using one of my other modules, everything works fine.  However, as soon as I go back to the JV, the problem starts again.  Also, if I use the clicktrack, it seems to stumble over itself for the first measure, clicking too quickly for a few beats before settling into the proper tempo.

Any ideas on how to fix this would really be appreciated!  Thanks.

I have the JV-1080, and haven't had trouble recording, but I know that the Roland synths need a few "lead in" beats to "set" the proper tempo.  The "stumble" is normal; the synth is attempting to set everything in midi.  Try putting a silent measure before you want to come in to sync everything.  I believe Roland even recommends this in their owner's manual.

I use a jv-1010 and cakewalk homestudio(for about 3 years). I have not had a problem with it so far. It's always a good idea to leave at least two free  measures at the beginning. even when i don't leave any space at the beginning, I still don't have any problems. Maybe you should check your project properties.

Why are we discussing Cakewalk and Cubase in a Noteworthy Composer forum?
