Roland JP-8080 - MIDI Settings (MIDI); Local Switch

● Turn [EXT] on for OSC 2
If the sound is being input from the INST/LOWER jack,
turn on [EXT] for the Lower Patch. If the sound is being
input from the VOCAL/UPPER jack or MIC jack, turn on
[EXT] for the Upper Patch.
● Adjusting the level of the external input
sound
Use EXTERNAL INPUT [INST/LOWER]/[VOCAL/UPPER]
to adjust the volume of the external input.
If even a small amount of sound is input, the SIG/LIMITER
indicator will light green.
The limiter will operate on sounds which exceed a specified
level, automatically adjusting the volume to keep the sound
from distorting. When this happens, the SIG/LIMITER indi-
cator will light red.
Also, use the OSC 2 [CONTROL 1] to specify the input level
at which the envelope will start. The envelope attack will
start when the input level exceeds the specified value, and
the envelope release will start when the input level falls
below the specified value.
● Adjust the OSC COMMON [OSC BALANCE]
If sound is being input from the INST/LOWER jack, adjust
[OSC BALANCE] for the Lower Part. If sound is being
input from the VOCAL/UPPER jack or MIC jack, adjust
[OSC BALANCE] for the Upper Patch.
For example if this is set to OSC 1, the external input sound
will be used only as a trigger, and will not be heard.
Also, if this is set to OSC 2, the external input sound will
start the envelope of the external input sound itself.
MIDI Settings (MIDI)
These settings are common to the entire JP-8080.
* For details on MIDI, refer to “What is MIDI?” (p.168).
1 Press [EDIT].
The [EDIT] indicator will light and the BANK [1]–[8]
indicators will blink.
2 Press [MIDI] (BANK [5]) several times to select the
parameter whose settings you wish to modify.
* If you hold down [SHIFT] and press [MIDI], you will
return to the previous display page.
The [MIDI] indicator will light.
3 Use [DEC]/[INC] to set the value.
4 When you finish making settings, press [EDIT] or
[EXIT].
The previous display will reappear.
■ Local Switch
This switch determines whether or not the JP-8080’s con-
trollers (knobs, sliders, buttons), will be connected to its
sound generator (p.54), and whether the controller (key-
board, sliders etc.) connected to the REMOTE KBD IN will
be connected to the sound source.
* To avoid problems such as failure to sound, the Local
Switch will automatically be turned ON when the JP-
8080 is powered on.
OFF: The JP-8080’s controllers will not control its built-in
sound source. Nor will it be possible for MIDI messages
from the REMOTE KBD IN connector to control the sound
source.
Only MIDI messages from the MIDI IN connector will con-
trol the sound source.
* However if the Edit Transmit/Receive Switch (p.124) is
off, messages from the JP-8080’s controllers and MIDI
messages (other than note messages) from the REMOTE
KBD IN connector will control the sound source.
ON: The JP-8080’s controllers will control its built-in sound
source. MIDI messages from both REMOTE KBD IN and
MIDI IN will also control the sound source.
