Roland JX-3P - Playing; Applications

B)
Playing
if you press the
Start/Stop
button
@,the
Indicator will
light up
and the data
written
into the
sequencer will be
played.
When all
the
notes are played, the data
will return
to
the beginning
and
played
again. Pressing
the Start/Stop
button
once more
(Its indi-
cator will go
out) will stop
playing.
The
tempo of
the data is adjusted
with the
Rate
knob
@.
*
if you
slop
the
data
in the
middle
and
start
again, the data
will be
played
from
the
right
beginning.
*
If
you wish to
play
the
data only once,
write some
rests
in the end of
the data,
so
that it is easier to stop
the data
in
the right
place.
•The indicators of the
Tone Selector
buttons tell you the step
and
the mea-
sure
of the data being
played.
Simply
press
the Start/Stop
button
while
holding the Rest button
down.
*
Pressing
the Mute button
(7)
(Its indi-
cator
will light up) will decrease
the
volume of the sequencer.
In this case,
the
keyboard
is not splited (Refe'"
to
-^P.6).
[Keyboard Playing
with the sequence]
The JX-3P generates
up to 6 notes (voices)
at a time. For instance, if
4 notes are
played in
the
sequencer, 2 notes are left
available on
the keyboard.
If
altogether
more
than
6
notes are played
on the key-
board and
in the sequencer, the
notes ex-
ceeded will
be lost. Also, if you
play the
same
notes as the sequencer's,
those notes
are stacked and
sound richer (unison
effect).
[Synchronization]
The built-in sequencer of the JX-3P
can be
synchronized with an external
rhythm
machine,
sequencer, etc. In this
case, all
you need to write In the built-in
sequencsr
is,
the
pitch.
C)
Applications
[1]
Overdubbrng
It is possible to
write
a
new
phrase
over
the
phrase
previously
written. You
can
write
up to
128 steps altogether
and
up to
6
notes in
each step.
[l)Find the shortest
time value in
the
phrase you wish
to
write.
Then divide
the longer time values
with
the
shortest
one.
The example below Is the 4 voice
phrase having the
^i
(1/16 note) as its
shortest time value.
