Midi Sync - Roland JP-8080 Owner's Manual

When should I turn the Local Switch OFF?
If you wish to play a MIDI keyboard connected to REMOTE
KBD IN and record your playing on an external MIDI
device (sequencer, etc.), then turn the Local Switch OFF.
This will prevent identical MIDI messages received at
REMOTE KBD IN and MIDI IN from being transmitted to
the sound source in duplicate.

MIDI Sync

This specifies whether or not the tempo will be synchro-
nized to MIDI Clock messages received from an external
device.
OFF: The internal sequencer will operate using the
[TEMPO] setting. Any MIDI Clock messages received from
an external device will be ignored.
MIDI IN: While MIDI Clock is being received from the MIDI
IN connector, the internal sequencer will synchronize to
MIDI Clock. If you move the [TEMPO] while not receive
MIDI Clock, the internal sequencer will operate using the
[TEMPO] setting.
REMOTE KBD IN: While MIDI Clock is being received
from the REMOTE KBD IN, the internal sequencer will syn-
chronize to MIDI Clock. If you move the [TEMPO] while
not receive MIDI Clock, the internal sequencer will operate
using the [TEMPO] setting.
* Some external MIDI devices do not transmit MIDI Clock
messages unless they are recording or playing back. If
such an external MIDI device is connected, be aware
that the tempo cannot be synchronized to MIDI Clock
unless the external MIDI device is recording or playing
back.
Also, if the JP-8080 is being synchronized to an external
MIDI device which transmits Stop (FC) at the end of the
loop during loop playback (or recording), the synchro-
nization may become skewed. In particular when syn-
chronizing to an external MIDI device as you record
Patterns or Motions, do not transmit Stop during record-
ing. If Stop is transmitted, the performance can not be
recorded correctly.

About Chorus/Delay/LFO Sync/Voice Modulator
delay/Ensemble Sync and MIDI Sync
When Chorus/Delay/LFO Sync (p.119, 120) and Voice
Modulator Delay/Ensemble Sync (p.110) is set to a note
value or measure interval, the MIDI Sync setting will deter-
mine whether Chorus Rate, Delay Time, LFO 1 Rate, Voice
Modulator Delay Time, and Ensemble Rate will be synchro-
nized to the tempo specified by the JP-8080's [TEMPO] or to
the tempo of an external MIDI device.

Device ID (Device ID Number) 17–32
This sets the Device ID Number.
Each type of MIDI device has its own model ID number,
which allows it to be distinguished from other types of
device. However when MIDI data is transmitted/received
between two or more identical devices, this is not enough to
distinguish them, since their model IDs are the same. This is
why a Device ID Number is provided so that two or more
JP-8080 units can be distinguished. With the factory set-
tings, the Device ID Number is set to 17. If you are using
only a single JP-8080, there is no need to change this.
