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.

Cartridge.)
