Table of Contents

LOCAL: Allows you to disconnect the part from the

internal sound source ("OFF"), or to re-establish that

connection ("ON"). If you select "OFF" the SONG part

in question is no longer controlled by the JM-8's SMF

player.

SHIFT (–48~48): This parameter allows you to trans-

pose the note messages before they are transmitted

to an external MIDI instrument or computer. The

maximum possible transposition is four octaves up

(48) or down (–48). Each step represents a semi-tone.

EVENTS" window.

MIDI RX section

CHANNEL (1~16): Allows you to assign a MIDI chan-

nel to the selected part. The default settings usually

work best, but you are most welcome to change

them.

Note: Although the RX channel does not have to be the

same as the TX channel, working with different channels

may cause confusion.

SHIFT (–48~48): This parameter allows you to trans-

pose the received note messages before sending

them to the JM-8's tone generator. The maximum

possible transposition is four octaves up (48) or down

(–48). Each step represents a semi-tone.

LIMIT HIGH/LIMIT LOW (C–1~G9): "LIMIT HIGH" and

"LIMIT LOW" allow you to set the note range to be

received. If not all note messages received on a given

MIDI channel should be played by the selected JM-8

part, narrow down the range.

Note: The LOW LIMIT value cannot be higher than HIGH

LIMIT (and vice versa).

whether (ON) or not (OFF) the messages in question

should be received.
