Roland SUPER JX - A, Editing a B, Editing a Tone

b. Editing a Tone
A Tone consists of various parameters. Like 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
panel 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.

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