pitch (Fine Tune)” (p. 57).
Rnd Pitch (Random Pitch Depth)
This applies a degree of randomness to the pitch of
each note.
Range: 0–1200
As this value is increased, a greater degree of random-
ness will be applied. As this value is decreased, there
will be less randomness.
With a value of “0” there will be no effect.
Key Follow (Pitch Key Follow)
This setting causes the pitch to be affected by the key
position.
Unless you are creating a special type of sound, you
will normally leave this at “+100.”
fig.5-15TEXT (=MC fig.3-14)
Range: -100–+200
With positive (+) settings, the pitch will rise as you
play higher notes (i.e., notes toward the right of the
keyboard). With negative (-) settings, the pitch will fall
as you play higher notes.

+100: As on a conventional keyboard instrument, the
pitch will rise one octave when you move 12
notes upward on the keyboard.
+200: The pitch will rise two octaves when you move
12 notes upward on the keyboard.
0:The pitch will be the same regardless of which
note you play.
-100: The pitch will fall one octave when you move 12
notes upward on the keyboard.
When you are creating sounds of instruments that nat-
urally have minimal change in pitch, such as percus-
sion instruments, it is effective to set Pitch Key Follow
to a setting of “+10” or “+20.”

Env Depth (Pitch Envelope Depth)
This is the setting page for “Specifying the envelope
depth (Pitch Envelope Depth) (p. 59). ”
Velo Sens (Pitch Envelope Velocity
Sensitivity)
This setting lets you control the Pitch Envelope depth
by the force with which you play the keyboard.
Range: -100–+150
With positive (+) settings, the pitch will change more
greatly as you play the keyboard more strongly. With
negative (-) settings, the pitch will change less as you
play the keyboard more strongly.
If you wish to change the loudness of the notes
played on the keyboard...

the Keyboard (Keyboard Velocity)” (p. 163)

When Velocity Sensitivity is set to a positive (+) value,
softly-played notes will have little pitch change, and
strongly-played notes will have greater pitch change;
this lets you simulate “the pitch instability at the
beginning of each note” that is characteristic of wind
instruments.

The four front panel knobs [ATTACK] / [DECAY] /
[SUSTAIN] / [RELEASE] can be used to set the most
commonly-used parameters of the pitch envelope, but
the JX-305 also allows you to make more detailed pitch
envelope settings.

Time1–4 (Pitch Envelope Time 1–4)
Specifies the time until the next pitch level is reached.
You can make settings for the four parameters Time
1–4.
Range: 0–127
Higher settings will result in a longer time until the
next pitch level is reached.
* The front panel parameter [ATTACK] (Attack Time) cor-
responds to Time1, [DECAY] (Decay Time) to Time3,
and [RELEASE] (Release Time) to Time4.
