Rx Exclusive SW
(Exclusive Receive Switch)
This specifies whether or not exclusive messages will be
received from MIDI IN connector.
* Regardless of the Exclusive Receive Switch setting,
REMOTE KBD IN will always receive exclusive messages
for the parameters of the patch/performance in the tem-
porary area. However, patch parameters and performance
part parameters will be received by the part that is select-
ed by Panel Select. No other exclusive messages will be
received.
Perform Ctrl CH
(Performance Control Channel)
This selects the MIDI channel on which MIDI Program
Change messages will be transmitted and received to select
Performances. If you do not wish to select Performances via
MIDI, turn this OFF.
Remote KBD CH
(Remote Keyboard Channel)
MIDI messages received at the REMOTE KBD IN connector
will be received on this MIDI channel. With a setting of
ALL, MIDI messages of all channels will be received.
The MIDI messages transmitted and received by the MIDI
IN/OUT connectors will follow the Part MIDI Channel set-
tings (p.118), and have no relation to the Remote Keyboard
Channel setting.
Operations performed on an external MIDI device connect-
ed to REMOTE KBD IN will be handled exactly in the same
way as when JP-8080 controllers are operated (including
test playing in preview mode).
This means that when an external MIDI device is connected
to REMOTE KBD IN, the following things are possible.
(These things cannot be controlled from the MIDI IN con-
nector.)
• Playback arpeggios (p.90)
• Record/playback RPS patterns (p.92, 94)
• Record controller messages from an external MIDI
device as Motion Control (p.100)
MIDI Thru (MIDI Thru Switch)
This setting specifies whether or not MIDI messages
received at the MIDI IN connector will be transmitted from
the MIDI OUT connector.
OFF: No MIDI messages will be transmitted.
ON (w/o SysEx): MIDI messages except for exclusive mes-
sages will be transmitted.
ON (ALL): All MIDI messages will be transmitted.

When two or more sound sources are connected as shown
below, and you wish to use different channels to play
sounds on different sound sources, turn the MIDI Thru
Switch to ON (w/o SysEx) or ON (ALL).

This setting specifies whether MIDI messages will be trans-
mitted/received when panel buttons, sliders and knobs are
used to edit a Patch or Performance, or System settings.
However, reception of exclusive messages will be deter-
mined by the setting of the Exclusive Receive Switch.
When JP-8080 sliders/knobs other than the following are
moved, this setting specifies whether or not the edited data
will be transmitted as MIDI messages.
• VOLUME [LEVEL]
• [TEMPO]
• VOICE MODULATOR [CONTROL 1], [CONTROL 2]
• EXTERNAL INPUT [INST/LOWER], [VOCAL/UPPER]
• When both [UPPER] and [LOWER] are blinking, sliders /
MODE1: Editing data of the sliders/knobs will be transmit-
ted and received using the prescribed MIDI messages.
MODE2: Editing data of the sliders/knobs, you can specify
the MIDI messages that will be used to transmit and receive
editing data. The MIDI message that will be assigned to
each controller is set by the Transmit/Receive Settings.
For the MIDI messages that are assigned to each slider/
knob in MODE1 and for the factory setting of MODE2, refer
to "Transmit/Receive Setting List" (p.188).
