Synchronization Settings (Sync Mode)

This specifies how the internal sequencer will operate
and how MIDI Clock messages will be transmitted
and received.
Range:
INT: The internal sequencer will synchronize
to the internal tempo clock, and will
transmit MIDI Clock messages. Any
MIDI Clock messages received from an
external device will be ignored.
REMOTE: Operation will be essentially the same as
"INT." However, Start/Stop messages
from the external MIDI device will con-
trol playback/stop for the internal
sequencer.
SLAVE: The internal sequencer will synchronize
to MIDI Clock messages received from an
external device. If no MIDI Clock mes-
sages are being received, pattern/song
playback will not occur even if you press
the [STOP/PLAY] button.
Transmitting Synchronization
Messages (Sync Out)
This specifies whether or not synchronization-related
MIDI messages will be transmitted.
Range: OFF, ON
When this is ON, the following messages will be trans-
mitted from the MIDI OUT connector.
Timing Clock: F8
Start: FA
Continue: FB
Stop: FC
Song Position Pointer: F2
Making Songs Play Continuously
(Loop Mode)
This specifies how songs will play back.
You can make the same song play back continuously,
or make all songs play back in succession.
Range:
OFF: This is the normal playback mode. The cur-
rently selected song will play back only once.
LOOP1: The currently selected song will play back
repeatedly.
LOOP2: All songs will play back in succession.
* When using LOOP2 to play back songs, we recommend
that a pattern which mutes all parts (i.e., a silent pattern)
be inserted at the end of each song, so that songs are
joined smoothly.
Chapter 13. Setting the Operating Environment of the JX-305 (System)
Setting the Metronome
(Metronome Mode)
Here you can specify how the metronome will sound.
Range:
OFF:
REC ONLY:
REC&PLAY: The metronome will sound during
ALWAYS:
Adjusting the Metronome
Volume (Metronome Level)
This sets the volume of the metronome.
Range: 0–127
Increasing this setting will raise the volume.
Specifying the Timing for RPS
Playback (RPS Trigger Quantize)
When using RPS while a pattern is playing back, the
playback of the pattern and the phrase may be
skewed, depending on the timing at which you press
the keyboard. On the JX-305 you can specify the play-
back timing of the phrase, so it will play back in pre-
cise synchronization with the pattern.
Range: REAL

MEASURE: The pattern will be divided into one-mea-

the keyboard slightly before the actual desired timing will
help you synchronize the phrase to the pattern.

playback and recording.
The metronome will sound constantly.
MEASURE
The phrase will play back immediately, at
the timing at which you pressed the key-
board.
The pattern will be divided into 16th note
units, and when you press the keyboard,
the phrase will begin playing at the
beginning of the next 16th note unit.
The pattern will be divided into 8th note
units, and when you press the keyboard,
the phrase will begin playing at the
beginning of the next 8th note unit.
The pattern will be divided into quarter
note units, and when you press the key-
board, the phrase will begin playing at
the beginning of the next quarter note
unit.
sure units, and when you press the key-
board, the phrase will begin playing at
the beginning of the next measure. This
lets you ensure that the phrase will begin
playing at the beginning of the next mea-
sure.
