10. MIDI
The JX-10 can be set up with other MIDI devices as shown below.
1. Controlling other MIDI device with the JX-10
The JX-10 allows to write some MIDI functions with each Patch Memory. Therefore, when the JX-10 is controlling
other MIDI device, changing Patch Memories on the JX-10 will automatically change the relevant transmitting MIDI
functions.
In other words, some MIDI functions are Factors of Patch Memories.
a. Receiving and Transmitting MIDI Messages
1) Setting MIDI Channels
The JX-10's MIDI allows to set two different channels separately for the Upper and the Lower sections. Even when
different channels are assigned to the upper and the lower, in the Dual Key Mode, the JX-10 will be played with the
Note ON/OFF messages (Key information) sent on the MIDI channel assigned to the upper. The MIDI channel of
the lower is ignored. Likewise, when the Key Mode is the Lower Whole. the JX-10 is played with the Note ON/OFF
messages of the lower section. And when in the Split Key Mode, the upper and lower sections are played
independently with the messages sent on each MIDI channel.
The Program Change messages basically work to change the Tone Numbers. Therefore, if two different MIDI
channels are separately set for the upper and the lower sections, the Tone of each section can be changed
independently.
The Program Change messages can also change the Patch Memories. This is fully explained later in "Selecting a
Patch Memory with MIDI Program Change".
1. Push the MIDI of the Edit Buttons
The corresponding indicator will light up, and the Display will show the MIDI function previously selected.
Now, using the Ten Keys, assign the number of the MIDI Function you wish to change. Here, it is MIDI Channel for
the upper section, so the number is 2, 0.
2. Push 2, 0 and ENTER of the Ten Keys.
3. Using the α Dial, change the MIDI channel number.
To set the MIDI channel for the lower section, push 3, 0 and ENTER in the step 2.
The MIDI channels you have set as this will be erased from the memory of the JX-10 unless you follow the writing
procedure.
