Disconnecting The Keyboard From The Internal Sound; Generator (Local Switch); Using An External Midi Keyboard In Place Of The Keyboard Of The Jx-305 (Remote Keyboard Switch); Differentiating Between Units Of The Identical Model - Roland JX-305 Owner's Manual

Disconnecting the Keyboard from the
Internal Sound Generator (Local Switch)
This specifies the destination to which MIDI messages
from the controller section (keyboard, pitch
bend/modulation lever, knobs, pedals etc.) will be
transmitted.
Range:
INT: Messages from the controller section will
be transmitted only to the internal sound
generator.
EXT: Messages from the controller section will
be transmitted only to MIDI OUT.
Messages from the controller section will
BOTH:
be transmitted both to the internal sound
generator and to MIDI OUT.
Normally you will leave this set at "BOTH."
If you do not want messages from the controller sec-
tion to be transmitted from MIDI OUT, select "INT."
If you want to use the controller section to control only
the external sound generator, select "EXT."
Using an External MIDI Keyboard in
Place of the Keyboard of the JX-305
(Remote Keyboard Switch)
An external MIDI keyboard can be used instead of the
JX-305's keyboard.
Range: OFF, ON
When this setting is "ON," so regardless of the trans-
mit channel setting of the external MIDI keyboard, it
will play the patch of the current part.
If you wish to use the JX-305 as a 8-part multitimbral
sound generator controlled by an external sequencer,
turn this "OFF." This will allow MIDI messages trans-
mitted from the external sequencer to play patches
independently for each channel (part).
* If you wish to control RPS or arpeggios from an external
MIDI device, turn this "ON."
Differentiating Between Units of the
Identical Model (Device ID Number)
This parameter sets the Device ID Number.
MIDI devices have an identifying number called the
Model ID, which is different for each model of device.
When system exclusive messages are transmitted and
received, this number is used to distinguish between
different models. However, when two or more devices
of the identical model need to receive and transmit
system exclusive data independently, the Model ID by
itself is not a sufficient distinction. For this reason, the
Device ID Number is used to distinguish between two
or more JX-305 units.
Range: 17–32
With the factory settings the Device ID Number is set
at "17." If you are using only one JX-305, there is no
need to change this setting.

Re-Transmitting Messages Received at
MIDI IN from MIDI OUT (Thru Function)
When this function is "ON," MIDI messages received
at the MIDI IN connector will be re-transmitted from
MIDI OUT without change.
Range: OFF, ON
* When the arpeggiator is on, messages received at MIDI
IN will not be re-transmitted from MIDI OUT even if
this Thru setting is ON.
Specifying the Reception Status
for Each Part (Rx Switch)
Specifies whether each part [1]–[R] is to receive MIDI
messages (ON) or not (OFF). If this is OFF, the part
will respond to the keyboard, but not to the internal
sequencer or external MIDI devices.
Use [PART SELECT] and PART [1]–[R] to select the
part whose setting you wish to change.
Specifying How Knob Data Is
Transmitted (Edit Transmit/Receive Mode)
This specifies the type of MIDI messages which will be
exchanged with external devices when panel knobs or
the control pedal are operated during normal play.
* When panel knobs are operated during patch editing, their
settings will be transmitted as system exclusive messages
that contain data for each tone. Similarly, data from the
REVERB LEVEL, DELAY LEVEL and MULTI CTRL
knobs is always transmitted as system exclusive messages
regardless of the mode.
Range: MODE1, MODE2
MODE1 : Knob or the control pedal data will be
MODE2 : Knob or the control pedal data will be
With the factory settings this is set to "MODE1."
* With MODE1, some control changes will be automatical-
ly converted to a system exclusive message for transmis-
sion. Also, when such a converted exclusive message is
received, it will automatically be converted to a control
change inside the JX-305.
* With MODE2, knobs will transmit and receive MIDI
messages in a way that differs from the official MIDI spec-
ification. Be aware that MODE2 is a non-standard use of
MIDI.

changes and as system exclusive data.
