Roland Super JX-10 - Page 31

b. Editing a Tone
A
Tone consists of various
parameters.
Lil<e
any
usual synthesizer, the JX-10 allows editing
these
parameters for sound synthesis.
The
JX-10,
how-
ever, does not feature knobs of switches
on its
pane! for you to touch or
move.
Instead,
there are
two methods of
synthesizing.
One is
calling
each
parameter
and
changing the value. This
method
does
not allow
to
edit more than one
parameter
at a time, so may be used for making
a slight
edit
during live performance, etc. The
other
method is using the optional programmer PG-800
which works just
like
the panel
controls on the
usual synthesizer. For quicker and easier
editing
or synthesis from scratch, the PG-800
may be
essential.
1} Editing with the
Programmer PG-800
As shown right, set up the
programmer and the
JX-10 using the 6P DIN cable
supplied with
the
composer.
The
PG-800
works
just like the control
panel of a
usual synthesizer, that is, you can
edit the existing
Tone
or make a complete
new Tone from scratch,
by actually using the tangible knobs and
buttons.
The PG-800 does not
work when the JX-10 is set
to
the Writing mode.
In the
Display,
the Tone numbers of the
Patch
Memory currently selected
are shown, and a dot is
shown
at the
lower corner of either Tone number.
Always, the Tone number
with
a dot at
the lower
corner can be edited. So,
it is necessary to make
sure that a dot is
seen at the corner of the Tone
number which you
wish
to
edit. If the dot is seen
at the corner
of
the
other Tone number, simply
push the
Upper or Lower Button which is
relevant.

The Tone
Number flashes
If any
of
the switches or
buttons on the
program-
mer is even slightly moved, the Tone
number
in
the Display flashes. This
flashing always
means
that the Tone is
edited,
therefore
different
from
the one in
memory.
