Step 1. Playing the Sounds Connections The JP-8080 does not contain an amplifier or speakers. In order to hear the sound, you will need to con- nect a keyboard amp, audio system, or headphones. Audio cables, MIDI cables, and stereo headphones are not included. You may purchase these items sepa- rately at your dealer.
Set your MIDI keyboard to a mode in which it transmits only a single channel of MIDI messages. In order to take full advantage of the superior sound of the JP-8080, we recommend that you listen to it in stereo. If you are using a mono system, make connections using the OUTPUT L (MONO) jack.
Restoring the Factory Settings (Factory Reset) If you have modified the settings on your JP-8080 after you purchased it, you may find it difficult to fol- low the explanations in this Quick Start section. If this is the case, you can use the following procedure to restore the factory settings before you read through the Quick Start section.
The JP-8080 receives MIDI messages from another device, and produces sound in response. In order to play the JP-8080 from a MIDI keyboard connected to REMOTE KBD IN, you will need to set the transmit channel of the MIDI keyboard to match the Remote Keyboard Channel of the JP-8080.
Playing the Sounds The JP-8080 contains a wide variety of sounds. In this section we will select Performances to hear the vari- ous sounds. The Performances are organized into the following groups. USER: Sounds which can be rewritten PRESET1–3: Sounds which cannot be rewritten CARD01–64: Sounds saved on an optional memory card...
Press [WAVEFORM] three times to select “FEEDBACK OSC.” Solo SW [MONO] will be turned on, and the JP-8080 will play monophonically. (one note at a time) When FEEDBACK OSC is selected, the Solo SW [MONO] or [LEGATO] will be turned on. This cannot be...
Leave [CONTROL 2] at the position shown in the illustration, and rotate [CONTROL 1] to change the har- monics in various ways. When you move [CONTROL 1]/[CONTROL 2], the waveform name and parameter name will appear in the display. Using the same procedure, listen to the sound of other waveforms. Rotate [CONTROL 1]/[CONTROL 2] to change the sound in various ways.
Page 27
Settings have been made so moving the sliders or knobs will simultaneously modify both the Upper and Lower sounds. Use the various functions described below to modify the sound in. Be aware that selecting a sound on your synthesizer (keyboard) in step 4 or later will cause the JP-8080’s performance to change as well. (p.60) •...
Making the Sound Brighter/Darker (Cutoff Frequency) Let’s try modifying the brightness of the sound. Select the Performance P1: 88 (p.23). By playing the MIDI keyboard, you will hear the Upper Patch sound. Let’s modify this sound. Move the FILTER section [CUTOFF FREQ] slider. Raising the slider will make the sound sharper and brighter.
Leave [RESONANCE] at the position shown in the illustration, and now try moving [CUTOFF FREQ]. You will hear a characteristic synthesized sound. A combination of changes in [CUTOFF FREQ] and [RES- ONANCE] is one of the most frequently used sound modifications on synthesizers. •...
Broadening the Sound (Multi Effects Level) The JP-8080 provides 13 types of effects, and these can be assigned to [MULTI-FX LEVEL] and used. For this example, let’s select a performance to which “chorus” is assigned, and try modifying the sound.
Storing a Performance Now that you have worked through the examples in Step 2 and created a sound that’s to your liking, let’s write the Performance into memory. Once you modify the sound with a slider/knob and button, then “ * ” (asterisk) will appear at the left of the Performance number, indicating that the settings of the selected Performance have been modified.

If you hold down one of the [DEC]/[INC] buttons and then press the other button, the change will become more rapid in the direction of the first-pressed button. You can use this function whenever using the [DEC]/[INC] buttons to specify a value. The following characters can be selected.
To learn more about the formant filter “Chapter 8. Using Voice Modulator” (p.103) You can also input a human voice from a tape or CD, or use instrumental sounds other than the JP-8080. “Various Ways to Use Voice Modulator” (p.146)
Playing Patterns with One Finger (RPS) Normally, pressing a key on the MIDI keyboard will play only the note that was pressed. However RPS (Real-time Phrase Sequence) is a function that plays back a variety of musical patterns when a key is pressed, instead of the note for that key.
To cancel the pattern clear operation, press [CLEAR] or [EXIT]. Press [WRITE]. The display will indicate “Completed,” and the sound will stop. The pattern that had been assigned to the key has been cleared. Press [EXIT]. The [REC] indicator will go dark. •...

Move the slider or knob that you moved by mistake through its entire range of move- ment. When you move the slider or knob through its entire range, its data will be erased. After you have erased the movement for the incorrectly-moved slider or knob, press [EXIT].
Playing Two Sounds at Once (Key Mode) Settings for two sounds (called Patches) are assigned to each Performance of the JP-8080. The Key Mode setting determines how these two Patches will be combined. When you select a Performance, one of the three [KEY MODE] indicators will light to indicate the Key Mode setting of the selected Performance.
Playing Two Patches From Each Key (Dual) •••••••••••••••••• Now let’s layer the two Patches of Performance P1: 87. Press [KEY MODE] to select DUAL. When you play the MIDI keyboard, the Lower Patch and Upper Patch sounds will be heard simultaneously. Playing Different Patches in the Left and Right Keyboard Areas (Split) ••••••...
About maximum simultaneous polyphony The sound generator of the JP-8080 can produce up to 10 simultaneous notes (voices) when the Voice Modulator is off, and up to 8 notes (voices) when the Voice Modulator is on. If incoming messages request more than this number of notes at any one time, the newly received notes will take priority, and the oldest sounding notes will be turned off one by one.
Parts On the JP-8080, two Patches are always selected, and you can choose to play just one or both Patches. The two Patches are assigned to locations referred to as the Upper Part and the Lower Part. When you select a Patch, you are actually selecting the Patch that is assigned to one of these Parts.
(Common) On the JP-8080, the Patch numbers that are stored as part of each Performance do not simply refer to Patches that are kept separately in memory — the actual settings of the entire Patch can be stored in the Performance itself.
Page 57
Preset Memory It is not possible to modify the contents of Preset memory. Preset memory contains 384 Preset Patches and 192 Preset Performances. The Temporary Area When you select a Patch or Performance, the settings of the selected Patch or Performance are called into a temporary memory location known as the Temporary Area.

Copying a Pattern Use [DEC]/[INC] to specify the transposition value. With a setting of “0,” the pattern will be copied with its original key. The pattern of any key (internal or memory card) can be copied to a different internal key. At this time, you can specify that the data be copied with a transposition of up to 2 octaves in semitone steps.
Changes (Motion Control) The JP-8080 is able to record slider/knob movements, and play them back. By playing back the recorded slid- er/knob movements (Motions) in time with your music, you can add a variety of tonal changes to your playing.
Motion to the slider/knob movement. Switching Motion Sets The JP-8080 has two Motion Sets (SET A/SET B), with two motions in each set. Also, up to four sets (CARD1: SET A/SET B, CARD2: SET A/SET B) can be saved in a memory card.

Understanding Sound Since moving the controllers on the JP-8080’s front panel will modify the sound, it’s easy to make new sounds. However if you have a certain sound in mind, moving the controllers at random will not get you any closer to the desired sound. In order to create the sound you want, you will need a basic understanding of sound.
