Recording a Performance on
an External Sequencer
This section will explain the procedure for using the JP-8080,
a MIDI keyboard, an external MIDI sound source, and an
external sequencer to layer performances in multiple tracks.
The JP-8080’s sound source can play either one part or two
tracks (parts). The other tracks must be played on an exter-
nal sound source.
Settings for Recording
Before you record, you need to check the settings of each
device. In order for your performance to be recorded cor-
rectly, the following parameters must be set correctly.
<JP-8000 settings>
■ Key Mode/Panel Select
If you want to use the internal sound generator to play up
to ten voices (eight voices if Voice Modulator is on) on one
track (part), set the Key Mode to single, and use panel select
to choose the part that you wish to play. If you want two
tracks to be sounded by the JP-8080’s sound generator, set
the Key Mode to split. The number of voices allocated to
each part is determined by the Voice Assign (p.116) setting.
■ Part MIDI Channel
([PART]: Part MIDI CH) (p.118)
Select the MIDI channel of the track which will play each
part of the JP-8080.
* Select a channel which does not coincide with the
Performance Control Channel or the receive channel for
each part of your external MIDI sound module.
■ Local Switch ([MIDI]: Local Switch) (p.122)
Turn this off.
This will prevent identical MIDI messages from REMOTE
KBD IN and MIDI IN to be sent to the sound generator in
duplicate.
■ Exclusive Receive Switch
([MIDI]: Rx Exclusive SW) (p.124)
Turn this on.
This will allow exclusive messages recorded on the external
sequencer to be received in order to control various parame-
ters.
■ Performance Control Channel
([MIDI]: Perform Ctrl CH) (p.124)
Select the MIDI channel which will be used to select perfor-
mances.
* Select a channel which does not coincide with the Part
MIDI Channel or the receive channel for each part of
your external MIDI sound source.
■ Remote Keyboard Channel
([MIDI]: Remote KBD CH) (p.124)
Select the MIDI channel which will receive MIDI messages
from REMOTE KBD IN. Set this either to the same setting as
the transmit channel of your MIDI keyboard, or to ALL.
■ MIDI Thru Switch ([MIDI]: MIDI Thru) (p.124)
Turn this off.
This will prevent the “loop” of MIDI messages which
would otherwise occur if MIDI messages received at MIDI
were re-transmitted from MIDI OUT.
■ Edit Transmit/Receive Switch
([MIDI]: Tx/Rx Edit Switch) (p.124)
Turn this on.
When a controller is moved or a motion is played back, con-
trol change or exclusive messages will be transmitted and
recorded on your external sequencer.
* The edit transmit/receive mode and the transmit/receive
setting must be the same for both recording and play-
back. If these settings differ between recording and play-
back, the data cannot be played back correctly.
■ Program Change Transmit/Receive Switch
([MIDI]: Tx/Rx ProgChg SW) (p.125)
Set this to BANK SEL+PC.
When you switch patches or performances during recording,
program change and bank select messages will be transmit-
ted and recorded on your external sequencer. Also, program
changes recorded on the external sequencer will be received
to select patches or performances on the JP-8080.
* The program change receive switch for each part of the
external MIDI sound source must also be turned on.
