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.

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.
