Editing
Tones
The
JX-1
allows
you
to
change
the character of
a
selected
Tone
by editing
its
parameters. Each
Tone
has
a
number
of
parame-
ters
which
can
be changed
using
buttons
and
sliders.
When-
ever editin
g chan ges have b een made, the
indicators
on
the
PRESET Al and/or [PRESET
B
I
buttons
will
start
blinking
to
indi-
cate that
a
Tone
has
been
altered.
*
whenever the Dual
function
is
being used
(to layer Tones),
only the
Main Tone
can
be edited. Also, effect status
(on/off)
is
only indicated
for
the
Main
Tone.
The Sub
Tone cannot be
edited.
