Writing Procedure
1. Set the Protect switch on the JX-10 to the OFF position.
2. Press the WRITE button, then the Enter Key.
The Display will react as above, then return to the normal Patch Memory indication.
3. Return the Protect switch on the JX-10 to the ON position.
2) Selecting a Patch Memory with MIDI Program Change
You can select a Patch Memory using the MIDI program change messages. In this case, a MIDI channel different
from those used for the Upper and the Lower sections is available. This is useful for when playing the JX-10 with a
computer; you can change the Tones of the Upper and the Lower using corresponding channels and change the
Patch Memories using the third channel (Patch Memory CH).
• The JX-10 is designed to produce no sound while you are changing Patch Memories. This serves to mute the
noise which otherwise would be heard. If you do not like muting the sound, instead of changing Patch
Memories, change the Tones. In this way, you can call the sound you like without any silence at all.
If you assign the same channels to the Patch Memory (Patch Memory CH) and the upper section (Upper MIDI CH)
the Program Change of the upper MIDI channel can change the Patch Memories. In this case however, the Tone
numbers of the upper cannot be changed with the Program Change.
Only when the lower MIDI channel is different from that of the Upper, can the Lower Tone numbers be changed.
To set the MIDI channel for the Patch Memory, call the Function Number 15 with the Ten Keys and set the
Channel Number 11 to 16 or OFF) with the α Dial. Select OFF, if you do not need to change Patch Memories with
the Program Change.
3) Program Change ON/OFF
The Program Change ON/OFF function can select whether to use Program Change or not. ON/OFF can be set
independently for the Upper and the Lower.
Call the Upper or Lower using the corresponding Function Number 31 for Upper, 41 for Lower, then select ON
or OFF using the α Dial.
4) Other MIDI Functions
The following MIDI Functions can be set to ON or OFF using the α Dial.
• Aftertouch
Upper .................. Number 32
Lower .................. Number 42
• Bender
Upper .................. Number 33
Lower .................. Number 43
• Hold
Upper ..................Number 36
Lower ..................Number 46
• Local
Upper .................. Number 11
Lower .................. Number 12
Usually this function should be set to ON.
Local OFF separates the keyboard section from
the synthesizer section. Therefore, the keyboard
messages sent out from the MIDI OUT does not
cause the JX-10 to sound. The JX-10’s
synthesizer section is played with the messages
fed into the MIDI IN.
• Modulation
Upper .................. Number 34
Lower .................. Number 44
• Volume
Upper ..................Number 37
Lower ..................Number 47
The Volume On/OFF can be set with the
α Dial, but selecting the MIDI Volume with
the Control Assign will automatically set it to
ON.
• Portamento
Upper .................. Number 35
Lower .................. Number 45
