How a Rhythm Tone Is
Organized
A rhythm set is a group of many rhythm tones. Each
rhythm tone consists of the following elements.
fig.6-1 (#MC fig.1-5)
WAVE
Select the PCM waveform that will be the basis of the
sound.
The JX-305 contains 636 types (A001–A254, B001–B251,
C001–C131) of waveform. Each of the JX-305’s rhythm
tones is based on these waveforms, and a rhythm tone
is assigned to each key to create a rhythm set.
PITCH
This specifies how the pitch will change.
FILTER
This specifies changes in the frequency components of
the sound.
AMPLIFIER
This specifies changes in volume and pan.
Creating the Sounds
In Rhythm Edit, you can modify the parameters of
each rhythm tone independently.
1. Select the rhythm part as the current part.
2. Select the rhythm set that you wish to edit
(p. 28).
3. Make sure that the rhythm set select page
is displayed.
4. Press [EDIT].
The indicator will light, and the edit page will appear
in the display.

5. Select the rhythm set parameter that you
wish to modify.
There are two ways to select rhythm set parameters.
Selecting setting pages for editing
In this method, you will use NUMBER [2] (WAVE)–[8]
(RHY TONE) to select the various setting pages, use
PAGE [<] [>] to switch parameter pages, and edit the
desired parameter. This method allows you to edit all
parameters, and is suitable when you wish to edit a
sound in a logical sequence such as “waveform”→
“pitch”→ “brightness,” etc.
To modify the value, use [INC] [DEC] or the [VALUE]
dial.
For how to access the setting pages, refer to “Making
More Detailed Settings” in each section.
Using knobs and buttons to select the
page for editing
By operating the knobs or buttons of the front panel,
you can directly call up the editing page for that para-
meter. For example, if you operate [CUTOFF] knob,
the display will automatically change to the cutoff fre-
quency setting page, and you can view the settings for
each rhythm tone as you modify them.
* This method cannot be used to edit parameters for which
there is no front panel knob or button.
In the rhythm edit page, the display will show the cur-
rently selected rhythm set parameters and the note
number of the rhythm tone selected for editing.

Selecting only the edit page without modify-
ing the value
If you wish to see the current value before you modify
it, hold down [SHIFT] while you operate the knob.
This will access the editing page without modifying
the value.
