Although you can use Real-Time Modify to modify
the sound of a patch in real time while a pattern plays,
it is also possible to modify the various aspects of the
sound beforehand to create the perfect patch for your
music. This process is called Patch Edit, allows you to
make detailed parameter settings for each tone.
The sound parameters that can be set during patch
editing are referred to as Patch parameters.
The Basis for the Sound of a
Patch (Tones)
What a Tone Consists of
On the JX-305, the Tone is the smallest unit of sound.
However it is not possible to play tones. Patches are
the unit that you normally play, and tones are the
building blocks which make up these patches.
A tone contains the following elements.
fig.5-1TEXT (=MC fig.1-4)
WAVE
Select the PCM waveform (wave) that is the basis of
the sound.
The JX-305 contains 636 types (A001–A254, B001–B251,
C001–C131) of waveform. Each of the patches in the
JX-305 consist of tones, which in turn are based on
these waveforms.
PITCH
Specify how the pitch will change.
FILTER
Specify how the frequency components of the sound
will change.
AMPLIFIER
Specify how the volume and pan will change.
LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
The LFO creates cyclic change (modulation). There are
two LFOs, and these can apply change to the PITCH,
FILTER, and AMPLIFIER. When the LFO is applied to
pitch, a vibrato effect is produced. When the LFO is
applied to filter cutoff frequency, a wah effect is pro-
duced, and when it is applied to the amplifier volume
a tremolo effect is produced.
Sound-Editing Procedure
1. Select one of the parts 1–7 as the current
part.
2. Select the patch that you wish to edit (p.
18).
3. Make sure that the patch select page is dis-
played.
4. Press [EDIT].
The indicator will light, and the edit page will appear
in the display.

5. Select the patch parameter that you wish
to modify, and edit it.
There are two ways to select patch parameters.
Accessing the setting pages and edit-
ing
Here’s how you can use NUMBER [1] (COMMON)–[7]
(CONTROL) to access the various setting pages, use
PAGE [<] [>] to switch parameter pages, and edit the
desired parameter. This allows you to edit all parame-
ters, and is a good method when you wish to create
sounds in a logical sequence such as “waveform”
“pitch” “brightness,” and so forth.
Use [INC] [DEC] or the [VALUE] dial to modify the
values.
For the procedure of how to access each setting page,
refer to “Making More Detailed Settings.”
