Set the transmit channel of the external MIDI key-

board to match the receive channel of the JX-305 that
you wish to play. For example, if you wish to play part
2, set the transmit channel of the external MIDI key-
board to "2" since the receive channel of part 2 is "2."

Selecting patches from an external MIDI device
By transmitting control change Bank Select messages
(CC#0, CC#32) and Program Change messages (PC)
from an external MIDI device to the JX-305, you can
change the patch (rhythm set) of each part. At this
time, the Receive Program Change Switch and the
Receive Bank Select Switch must be turned ON (p.
166). For details on how bank select and program
change messages are transmitted from your external
MIDI device, refer to the owner's manual for your
device.
If you would like to know how the incoming
bank select and program change messages
correspond to each patch (rhythm set), refer to:
"Preset Patch List" (p. 190)
"Preset Rhythm Set List" (p. 195)
"MIDI Implementation" (p. 236)
