OUTLINE
OF THE JX-10
The JX-10
features
the
functions that are quite
different
from those
of
the past
synthesizers.
So, it is very
important
to understand the func-
tions.
Read the following
explanation, then go to
"B
OPERATION".
1. The
JX-10
retaines 100 different sounds
{Tones}
-
50 of them can be rewritten,
other 50
non-volatile
-
and
more,
the 64 combinations
of the
Tones and various
performance control
functions
(this
combiantion is called Patch
Memory).
That is, a Patch Memory
consists of
a
Tone or
a pair of Tones and
performance control
functions which we call Factors in this manual.
Normally,
to change sounds
during live perfor-
mance, select
a
different Patch Memory.
(See page 11
"1.
Selecting a
Patch Memory".)
2.
The Factors
of the Patch Memory can be edited
easily whennever
you want.
(See
page 24 "a. Editing
a
Patch Memory".)
3. "Die
Tone of a Patch
Memory can be edited just
like
you would do on
a
usual synthesizer,
A
tone consists
of various parameters, and a tone
is edited
by changing
these
parameters.
(See
page 31
"b. Editing a Tone".)
4. To
write the edited
Patch Memory into the
JX-10's
memory, take an appropriate writing
procedure.
(See "a. Writing
a Patch Memory" on page 41.)
(See "b. Writing
a Tone" on page 42.)
5. By using
the supplied Memory
Cartridge
{M-64C},
the foilowing
data transfer is possible.
a. Saving
each Patch Memory or Tone to the
memory cartridge
and loading it
back
to the
JX-10.
b.
Saving the entire
data (50 Tones and 64
Patch
Memories) on
the JX-10 to Ihe
memory
cartridge and
loading
it
back to the JX-10.
6. The sequencer
data
can be saved on
the
supplied Memory
Cartridge
{M-16C). By using
one more Memory
Cartridge M-64C which is
optional,
you can save the data
four times more.
(See
page 21
"5.
Sequencer".)
7. All
the Patch Memories and Tones have
their
own names
which can be changed as you like.
(See page
43 "c. Naming".)
8.
The JX-10 features
the
MIDI
functions neces-
sary for
operating or being operated with
other
MIDI
devices. The
MIDI functions can be
changed
according to your requirement.
(See
page 56
"10.
MIDI".}
9.
To
make the above operations quicker
and
easier,
the JX-10 has a display window. If the
operation is wrong,
the
Display will respond
with error
messages.
(See
page 55 "c. Error Message".)
(See page 47
"8.
Memory
Cartridge.)
