f. MKS-70 Addendum
Operating the arpeggiator in the MKS-70 isn’t obvious.
Commands are selected via “shifted” mode.
Press the SHIFT button (shift LED will illuminate).
Once in SHIFT mode:
Select CHASE to enter arpeggiator menu
Select MTUNE to toggle arpeggiator ON or OFF
Select PATCH to toggle arpeggiator HOLD
When you are in the arpeggiator menu:
Selecting SHIFT takes you back to PLAY mode
Selecting CHASE takes you back to PLAY mode
Selecting MTUNE toggles arpeggiator ON or OFF
Selecting PATCH toggles arpeggiator HOLD
Since the MKS-70 doesn’t have a keyboard, all instructions are sent to it via MIDI. From Firmware Version 3.14 an
8
th
parameter was added: MIDI. This can be added to each arpeggiator patch.
Possible values for this parameter are: MIDI or MIDI+OUT.
Essentially what this means is: “Where the notes are taken from” (Keyboard, MIDI or both), and if arpeggiated,
notes go to MIDI out (+OUT in the string).
All other commands are similar to the JX-10
Extra JX-10 options with Firmware version 3.14 (or 4.08)
The JX-10 also gets the extra (8
th
) parameter with this version.
On the JX-10, however, there are a few more options: KEYBOARD, MIDI, ALL, KEYB+OUT, MIDI+OUT,
ALL+OUT.
Explanation for these options are as the MKS-70 (
“Where the notes are taken from” – see above).
