PLAY, EDIT
&
WRITE
Set
up the
JX-8P
with the
necessary equipment
(such as amplifier
and
speaker), then turn the
JX-8P
on,
and
it
will
be ready
to
be played
(=PLAY
Mode).
There are
96
different
tone
colors
preprogramnned
in
the
JX-8P's
memory; 64
preset tone
colors,
another
32
in
the
internal
memory,
(and
32 on the
optional cartridge).
You
can
recall
any
of
those
pat-
ches
by
flick
of a switch,
then
edit
it
to
your taste
(=
EDIT Mode).
This editing operation,
however,
does not automatically rewrite the existing
tone
color.
If
you wish
to
write
the edited tone
color,
an
ap-
propriate writing operation
is
required.
The 64
Preset
tone
colors,
however
will
never be erased, while the
other
32 can be
inevitably
replaced with
new
pat-
ches by the writing operation
(=
WRITE
Mode).
