3. OUTLINE OF THE JX-10
The JX-10 features the functions that are quite different from those of the past synthesizers. So, it is very important
to understand the functions. Read the following explanation, then go to "4. OPERATION"
1. The JX-10 retains 100 different sounds (Tones) – 50 of them can be rewritten, other 50 non-volatile – and
more, the 64 combinations of the Tones and various performance control functions (this combination is called
Patch Memory). That is, a Patch Memory consists of a Tone or a pair of Tones and performance control
functions which we call Factors in this manual. Normally, to change sounds during live performance, select a
different Patch Memory.
(See page 10 "1. Selecting a Patch Memory")
2. The Factors of the Patch Memory can be edited easily whenever you want.
(See page 17 "a. Editing a Patch Memory")
3. The Tone of a Patch Memory can be edited just like you would do on a usual synthesizer, A tone consists of
various parameters, and a tone is edited by changing these parameters.
(See page 20 "b. Editing a Tone")
4. To write the edited Patch Memory into the JX-10's memory, take an appropriate writing procedure
(See "a. Writing a Patch Memory" on page 30)
5. By using the supplied Memory Cartridge (M-64C), the following data transfer is possible.
a. Saving each Patch Memory or Tone to the memory cartridge and loading it back to the JX-10.
b. Saving the entire data (50 Tones and 64 Patch Memories) on the JX-10 to the memory cartridge and
loading it back to the JX-10.
(See page 35 "8. Memory Cartridge")
6. Sequencer – not present anymore – there's a programmable 8 memory arpeggiator in its place
7. All the Patch Memories and Tones have their own names which can be changed as you like.
(See page 32 "c. Naming")
8. The JX-10 features the MIDI functions necessary for operating or being operated with other MIDI devices. The
MIDI functions can be changed according to your requirement.
(See page 40 "10. MIDI")
9. To make the above operations quicker and easier, the JX-10 has a display window. If the operation is wrong,
the Display will respond with error messages.
(See page 39 "c. Error Message")
