Increasing the Volume of a
Specific Patch (Patch Gain)
■ Patch Gain 0dB, +6dB, +12dB
When Mono or Legato are used, one voice will be played
one note at a time, meaning that in comparison with poly-
phonic playing (normal playing condition), the volume may
appear to be softer. In such cases, you can use Patch Gain to
boost the volume of a specific patch. A setting of +6dB will
be double the gain (amplitude) of 0dB, and a setting of
+12dB will be four times that of 0dB.
* Depending on the patch, a setting of +6dB or +12dB may
cause the sound to crack. If this occurs, return the set-
ting to 0dB.
Starting an Individual Envelope While a
Key Remains Pressed (2) (External Trigger)
In normal playing, the pitch, filter, and amplitude
envelopes will start at the moment that you play the MIDI
keyboard, causing the sound to begin changing. However
on the JP-8080, you can cause just the filter or the amplitude
envelope to start at a different timing than the other
envelopes.
The factor or event which causes the envelope of the filter
or amplifier to start is called the “trigger.”
If the trigger is an external input sound, this function is
called “external trigger.”
<Example>
Input a trigger sound to the EXT IN VOCAL/UPPER jack
(Key Mode: Single, Panel Select: Upper)
* If the External Trigger Switch is ON, and you play with-
out having input a trigger sound, the filter envelope or
amplifier envelope will not take effect, and the sound
may not be produced as you intend.
There are two parameters for External Trigger. You will also
need to make settings for the external input.
■ Ext Trig Switch
(External Trigger Switch)
This switches External Trigger on/off.
OFF: External triggers will not be used. For normal playing,
leave this turned off.
ON: External triggers will be used.
■ Ext Trig Dest
(External Trigger Destination)
Specify the envelope(s) which will be started by the external
input sound.
At this time, the result will be clearly noticeable if you
adjust the envelope to produce a sharply defined sound.
For example if FILTER is selected, increase the FILTER
ENVELOPE [DEPTH] to a high setting, and lower the FIL-
TER [CUTOFF FREQ]. If AMP is selected, raise the AMP
[LEVEL] setting.
FILTER: The filter envelope will be started.
AMP: The amplifier envelope will be started.
FILTER&AMP: The filter and amplifier envelopes will be
started.
■ External input settings
Make the following four settings.
● Input a trigger sound from the EXT IN jack
or the MIC jack
The sound from the EXT IN INST/LOWER jack will be
input as the OSC2 of the Lower Patch. The envelope(s) of
the Lower Patch will start at the timing that this input
sound occurs.
The sound from the EXT IN VOCAL/UPPER jack or the
MIC jack will be input as the OSC2 of the Upper Patch. The
jack which will be used is determined by the EXTERNAL
INPUT [REAR/FRONT] setting. When off (REAR), the EXT
IN VOCAL/UPPER jack is used, and when on (FRONT) the
MIC jack is used. The envelope(s) of the Upper Patch will
start at the timing that this input sound occurs.
The sound which is input from the MIC jack will be ampli-
fied by the mic amp. The sound which is input from the
EXT IN jack will be used at its original level.
Also, if [REAR/FRONT] is turned off (REAR), and sound is
input only from the INST/LOWER jack without inserting a
plug into the VOCAL/UPPER jack, the sound will be split,
and input to both upper and lower. This is convenient when
you wish to input the same sound to both parts.
