This sets the keyboard to a light touch. You can achieve fortissimo (ff ) play with a less forceful touch than
LIGHT MEDIUM setting, so the keyboard feels lighter. This setting makes it easier for children, whose hands
have less strength.
MEDIUM This sets the keyboard to the standard touch.

If this is "ON, " incoming MIDI messages from the MIDI IN connector will be re-transmitted without change
OFF, ON
from the MIDI OUT connector.
Specifies the synchronization message that the JD-Xi will use for operation.
The JD-Xi will be the master. Choose this setting when using the JD-Xi by itself without synchronizing to
