* Master Parameters
Tune: This adjusts the pitch that becomes the overall standard
for the unit (middle A =,A4)..This.display.shows “27,4.Hz".to
“52.6 Hz,” which represents a value of from 427.4 Hz to 452.6
Hz.
Device ID: The same model ID may be held by other sound
modules in this series, or by the [V-80, JV-90, JV-1006, or JV-880.
The device ID is information that is used to individually distin-
guish each device when MIDI devices are used together. If you
are using any of the above units at the same time, change the
device ID when sending system exclusive (SysEx) messages to
them.
Reverb (Reverb Switch): This toggles the reverb effect for the
entire unit on or off.
Chorus (Chorus Switch): This toggles the chorus effect for the
entire unit on or off.
° MIDI Rx (MIDI Message Reception)
Vol&Hold (Volume/Hold Message Reception Switch):
Determines whether Volume and/or Hold messages are to be
received or not. The meaning of the settings shown in the display
is as follows:
or Volume messages and hold messages are both
received.
hid Hold messages are received, but volume messages are
not.
ual Volume messages are received, but hold messages are
not.
oFF Neither volume messages nor hold messages are
received.
Prog Chg (Program Change Message Receive Switch): Allows
you to enable/disable reception of Program Change messages.
Program Change messages are accepted when “on” is displayed,
and ignored when “oFF” is selected.
Bank Sel (Bank Select Message Reception): This changes the
unit's Patch, using a Bank Select message (Controller Number 0
or 32) in combination with a Program Change message. When
shipped from the factory the Patch can be changed with a
Controller Number 0 value of 80 or 81. The display reads “80” at
this time. When the display shows “0,” Patches can be switched
with Controiler Number 0 values of 0 and 1. Similarly, Patches
can be switched with Controller Number 0 values of 10 and 11
when “10” is shown. You can set this value to any number from
0 to 126. When set to “oFF,” no Bank Select messages are
received. When the Patch Table set to “2,” this parameter cannot
be work.

determines whether or not system exclusive messages are
received. Bulk Dump.data is also.one.type.of system exclusive

Muting a Part ...ccccccccssorsescoeonee sabe ssecests
Parts for which the Mute button is pressed (the indicator lights)
will remain silent.
Hl Monitoring o Part .......sccccsscsecessecensecesessosescesesuse
After pressing the Monitor button to light up the indicator, only
one Part will be heard at a time, with all other Parts muted out.
During ensemble play with a sequencer, it can sometimes be
hard to tell how each Part is being played. At such times, you
can activate the Monitor button (get its indicator to light) and
then switch through the Parts to listen to how each is played.
: Try Listening to Sounds
in the Patch Mode
In the Patch mode, the unit functions as a sound generator for
just one Part. Reverb and Chorus can be selected for each Patch
in this mode, which can give you powerful sounds for live per-
formances.
lf Switch to the Patch Mode .....cccsscecscscensssseneosasons
The Patch mode is enabled by switching on the power while
holding down the Patch button. This setting remains in memory
even after the power is switched off. The indicator for the Patch
button flashes when in the Patch mode.
@ Setting Patches.
In the same way as for the Performance mode, you can make
changes to the various Parameters printed on the right-hand side
of the unit's front panel. The functions of the Parameters are no
different from the Performance mode — check out “Changing
Parameter Settings” (p. 4) for more information.
However, Key Shift, Detune and Assign parameter of the Part
Param 2 and Vol&Hold, Prog Chg parameter of the MIDI Rx
doesn’t work in the Patch mode. When these parameters are
selected, “- - -” appears on the display as shown below.
