Recording A Song; Editing Songs (Song Edit) - Roland JX-305 Owner's Manual

Recording a Song

On the JX-305, you can record a song by inputting the
order in which patterns will be played back.
1. Select the song that you wish to record.
2. Press [REC].
The indicator will light, and recording will begin.

REC
M.SCOPE
The display will show the pattern input number (the
order of playback).
If you have selected a new song and begun recording,
this will be "1."
3. Use [INC] [DEC] or the [VALUE] dial to select
the pattern that will be registered first.
4. Press [ENTER].
The pattern input number will advance by one.
5. Select the pattern that will be registered
next.
After making your selection, press [ENTER].
6. Repeat step 3, 4 to complete the song.
When you have finalized the last pattern, press [EXIT]
or [REC] to end recording.
If you input a pattern by mistake, press [BWD] to
return to the input page for the previous step.
* If you wish to keep the song that you recorded, you must
perform the Song Write operation.

Write)" (p. 157)
Re-recording from the middle
If you are re-recording a song from the middle, or
when you wish to add a new pattern to the end of a
song, use [FWD] to advance to the location (pattern
input number) where you wish to begin recording.
Then you can enter recording mode to re-record from
that location.
Auditioning a pattern
After selecting a pattern during recording, you can
press [STOP/PLAY] to audition that pattern. As in
Pattern mode, you can select different patterns while
you audition them. When you are finished audition-
ing, press [STOP/PLAY].
Chapter 11. Connecting Patterns in Playback Order to Create a Song
While the pattern is being auditioned, the name of the
pattern being auditioned will be shown in the display.

Assigning a pattern with modified Setup
parameters
While auditioning a pattern, you can modify the mute,
part mixer and effect settings, etc. for that part and
press [ENTER] to assign the part with those settings.
This will not affect the original pattern in any way,
since the setup parameters for each pattern are stored
as part of the song data.
Using this function, you can modify the mute settings
or multi-effects type of one single pattern and create a
song just by developing the same pattern in different
ways.

Editing Songs (Song Edit)

In the same way that you edited a pattern in Pattern
mode, you can edit a song in Song mode. The process
of making changes in Song mode is called "song edit-
ing."
* An edited song is held in the temporary area. If you wish
to keep the song that you created, you must perform the
Song Write operation.
Cautions for song editing
Song can be edited when the song select page of Song
mode is displayed (i.e., when the [PTN/SONG] indi-
cator is lit). It is not possible to enter the various edit-
ing pages during song playback.
Setting the parameters
To set or modify each parameter, use [INC] [DEC] or
the [VALUE] dial.
You can also use [FWD] [BWD] to specify the location
at which you will begin editing (the pattern playback
number).
During editing, if you wish to return to the previous
parameter setting page, press PAGE [<].
If you wish to cancel your editing, press [EXIT].
