Roland JX-8P - Operation - Patch Chain

C.
PATCH
CHAIN
There
may
be
some
tone colors
which are
more often
used.
It will be
handy if these
patches
are
collected
in
sequence
and
called during
live
performance
in
the
same
sequence.
The JX-8P's
Patch
Chain
function
allows you
to
write
8
particular
patches in
sequence
and
recall
them one
after
another,
just
by
pressing
buttons.
Each
patch
in
the
Patch
Chain
can retain
a
tone
color
with different
settings
of
Key Mode,
After
Touch, Bender
Range,
Portam-
ento
ON/Off, Bend
LFO
Depth,
Unison Detune
and
Portamento
time.
Operation for
calling the
Patch Chain
©Press either
the Patch Chain Bunon
| J
or
I "J
®.
Then the Display shows
"1"
at
the left
side, and the
number and name
of
the
correspon-
ding patch.
(D
Press either
|
"J
or
|
'J
to
advance
or back
up a patch
program
in
the Patch Chain.
While
using
a
patch
program
of
the Patch Chain,
you
may notice that
it does
not
sound
faithful to
each
position of
the
knobs
in
the
Performance
Control
Section (such
as
Bend
Range,
Portamento).
This
is
because
the settings
of the
Performance
Control
Section are
written into
each patch
program
together
with other settings,
and
the actual
positions of
knobs
have no
effect on the
sound.
However,
if
you
move
the
knob
even
slightly,
the value
of
the
parameter
written in memory
is
temporarily
cancelled and
ready
to
be
controlled
manually.
This does
not rewrite
the
value in
memory, so
if you
want
to retain
it, ap-
propriate
writing
operation
is required. (See
Editing
Patch
Chain in"
il
4
WRITE MODE" on page 22.)
Patch
Chain is a
function of
remembering the
com-
bination of the 8
patch
programs
with
different
ef-
fect
and
mode
settings,
that is,
it has no
ability
of
retaining
the
nature
of
the
patch programs
in the
Chain. Therefore,
if
the
patch
programs are
edited
and overwritten or
replaced
with new patches,
the
Patch Chain
accordingly
changes.
If you want to
return
to
the usual
Play mode,
turn
the
Power
Switch
Q
OFF once,
then turn
it ON
again.
