(Turntable) - Roland JX-305 Owner's Manual

Simultaneously Changing the
Tempo and Pitch (Turntable)
Turntable is a function which lets you use the pitch
bend lever and modulation lever to affect the playback
of a pattern. When you move the modulation lever, all
parts will be instantly muted. When you move the
pitch bend lever, the tempo and pitch will change
simultaneously, producing an effect similar to when
the pitch of a record turntable is changed.
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and move the modula-
tion lever away from yourself.
The following screen will appear, and you will be able to use
the pitch bend lever to control the Turntable function.

SHIFT
2. Move the pitch bend lever to left and right.
The tempo and pitch of all parts will change simulta-
neously.
Moving the pitch bend lever toward the left will
simultaneously lower the tempo and pitch.
Moving it toward the right will simultaneously raise
the pitch. Returning the lever to its normal position
will restore the initial tempo and pitch.
* If the tempo of the pattern is fast, the tempo will not
increase even if the pitch bend lever is moved toward the
right.
3. Move the modulation lever away from
yourself.
While the modulation lever is moved away from your-
self, all parts will be muted.
* The keyboard performance (including arpeggios) and RPS
playback will not be muted.
When the modulation lever is returned to its normal
position, the initial mute status will be restored.
4. To turn off the Turntable effect, once again
hold down [SHIFT] and move the modula-
tion lever away from yourself.
The following screen will appear, and the pitch bend
lever and modulation lever will return to their normal
function.
