¥\ OUTLINE OF THE JX-10
The JX-10 features the functions that are quite
different from those of the past synthesizers.
So, it is very important to understand the func-
tions. Read the following explanation, then go to
"B OPERATION".
1. The JX-10 retaines 100 different sounds
{Tones} -50 of them can be rewritten, other 50
non-volatile -and more, the 64 combinations
of the Tones and various performance control
functions (this combiantion is called Patch
Memory). That is, aPatch Memory consists of a
Tone or apair of Tones and performance control
functions which we call Factors in this manual.
Normally, to change sounds during live perfor-
mance, select adifferent Patch Memory.
(See page 11 "1. Selecting aPatch Memory".)
2. The Factors of the Patch Memory can be edited
easily whennever you want.
(See page 24 "a. Editing aPatch Memory".)
3. "Die Tone of a Patch Memory can be edited just
like you would do on ausual synthesizer, A
tone consists of various parameters, and atone
is edited by changing these parameters.
(See page 31 "b. Editing a Tone".)
4. To write the edited Patch Memory into the
JX-10's memory, take an appropriate writing
procedure.
(See "a. Writing aPatch Memory" on page 41.)
(See "b. Writing aTone" on page 42.)
5. By using the supplied Memory Cartridge
{M-64C}, the foilowing data transfer is possible.
a. Saving each Patch Memory or Tone to the
memory cartridge and loading it back to the
JX-10.
b. Saving the entire data (50 Tones and 64
Patch Memories) on the JX-10 to Ihe memory
cartridge and loading it back to the JX-10.
6. The sequencer data can be saved on the
supplied Memory Cartridge {M-16C). By using
one more Memory Cartridge M-64C which is
optional, you can save the data four times more.
(See page 21 "5. Sequencer".)
7. All the Patch Memories and Tones have their
own names which can be changed as you like.
(See page 43 "c. Naming".)
8. The JX-10 features the MIDI functions neces-
sary for operating or being operated with other
MIDI devices. The MIDI functions can be
changed according to your requirement.
(See page 56 "10. MIDI".}
9. To make the above operations quicker and
easier, the JX-10 has adisplay window. If the
operation is wrong, the Display will respond
with error messages.
(See page 55 "c. Error Message".)
(See page 47 "8. Memory Cartridge.)

The 64 Patch Memories are stored either in
the JX-10's internal memory or on the
Memory Cartridge (M-B4C). The display
here shows whether the Patch Memory
currently selected is in the JX-10 or on the
Cartridge.
Internal Memory of the JX~10
The 64 Patch Memories are stored in the
locations of 8Banks (1 to 8) and the Num-
bers (1 to 8). The display here shows the
Bank and the Number of the Patch Memory.
C:Each Patch Memory can be named with up
to 18 characters (this is called Patch Name.)
Here, the patch name is displayed.
D, E:The numbers 1to 100 are assinged to the
100 Tones in the JX-1 0's memory. The num-
Ibers of the Tones used for the Patch Mem-
ory currently selected are displayed here.
The Tone number of the lower section of
the keyboard is shown at Dand that of the
upper section is shown at E.
*What are shown at A(Memory Mode) and at B

modes.
To select aPatch Memory, assign the Bank and
Number by using the Patch Memory Buttons®.
*The JX-10 is designed to produce no sound
while you are changing Patch Memories. This
serves to mute the noise which otherAwise would
be heard. If you do not like cutting sound,
instead of changing Patch Memories, change
the Tones (See page 18 "Selecting aTone
Number"). In this way, you can call the sound
you like without any silence at all.

2. Functions of the Control
Knobs
The following controls can be operated even while
you are piaying the JX-10.
a. Control Assign Knob &
Each of these two knobs can be used for control-
ling the performance control function you select
with the Control Assign Button. (See page 14 "3.
Control Assign".)
b. Bender Lever O
This Bender Lever can be used during live perfor-
mance for creating guitar's chocking-Hke effect.
The left and right extremes of movement create
the same amount of pitch bending effect. The
maximum effect of the bender can be selected
with the Bend Range Switch: major 2nd, minor
3rd, major 3rd or perfect 5th higher or lower.
Pushing this lever forward will create the vibrato
effect. When the tone you are using has already
taken in avibrato effect, the effect will be deepened.
c. Aftertouch Rne Adjust Knob O
The Aftertouch effect is the sound's alteration
obtained by pressing the key stronger after playing
it in anormal manner. The JX-10's aftertouch
effect works on the Vibrato, Brilliance and Volume.
Vibrato: The dpeth of the vibrato effect is
deepened.
Brilliance; The tone will become brighter.
Volume: The volume of the sound will increase.

3- =
=3r
The setting of On/Off or value of each aftertouch
effect can be written in each Patch Memory inde-
pendently, but the Aftertouch Fine Adjust Knob
allows even more delicate adjustment of the
effect When this knob is set to the center position,
the same effect as set in the Patch Memory can be
obtained, and no effect is obtained at the lowest
position [— ].
*Different On/Off settings and values of the after-
touch and bender are written in each of the 64
Patch Memories. Therefore, those effects you
acturatly gain will greatly differ depending on
how these are set in the Patch Memories. No
effect may be obtained in some particular
settings.

d. Voice Memory Switch @
This switch selects which memory mode; the JX-
10's interna! memory or the Cartridge memory to
be used.

*Even after you have changed the Memory
modes with the Voice Memory Switch, the new
position does not affect the memory unless you
select anew Patch Memory.
When you select anew Patch Memory, "I"
(internal) or "C"(cartridge) is shown at the left
end of the Display, depending on which position
has been selected with the Voice Memory
Switch.
*When the Memory Cartridge is not connected,
be sure to set the Voice Memory Switch to the
INT position.

3. Control Assign
The JX-10 allows you to control some of the per-
formance control functions with the Control
Assign Knobs on the control panel and the Pedal
Switch {DP-6 or DP-2). This is exeilent in live per-
formance. However, the functions which can be
controlled are only two of the four with the two
Control Assign Konbs and one of the four by the
pedal switch at atime. (See the table shown on
the next page!. The following explaines how to
assign the functions to the i<nobs and the pedal
switch. The function assigned to each knob is con-
trolled by moving the slider, and the function
assigned to the pedal switch is controlled with the
pedal operation. We call these eight functions
Control Assign functions.
PROCEDURE
CD Select the Control Assign Knob 1, 2or Pedal
Switch where you wish to assign the function
by pushing the appropriate Control Assign
Button; CI, C2 or PEDAL SWITCH Button.
EDED
The Display will show the Control Assign function
that is previously assigned.
©Rotating the aDial, call the new function to
be assigned. (See the table shown on the next
page.}
@To continue to assign other functions, repeat
the step ®and @.
®When you have completed assigning all the
Control Assign functions, push the Control
Assign Button currently in use.
The Display will return to the usual indication.
While the Display shows Control Assign function,
nothing can be done on the JX-10 except for play-
ing the keyboard.
When the Expression Pedal EV-5 is connected to
the Control Assign Jack on the rear panel, the
assigned Control Assign function cannot be con-
trolled with the Control Assign Knob but only with
the pedal.
•Writing the Contro! Assign
The Control Assign functions you have set can be written
into the JX-TO's internal memory as follows.
After stepCs), set the Protect Switch ®on the JX-10 to
the OFF position, then push the WRITE Button ®.

just like two sets of 6voice synthesizers of diffe-
rent sounds.
The JX-TO's unique Split system allows to set the
lowest key in the Upper section and the highest
key of the Lower section separately on the same
keyboard. The Quick Edit, however, does not
include this function. This is possible only when
editing aPatch Memory.
PROCEDURE
in this mode, the JX-10 can be used as ausual 12
voice polyphonic synthesizer. That is, all the 76
keys will have the same Tone. Therefore, it is
required to select one of the two different Tones
provided for the upper and the lower sections.
When the Tone for the upper section is selected, it
is called Upper Whole Mode, and when the lower
Tone is selected, called Lower Whole. Pressing
the Whole Button will alternately select the Lower
and Upper Tones.
The Display shows the Tone Number currently
selected.
While holding the SPLIT of the Key Mode Button
down, press the key which is to be the Split Point.
While holding this
button down.
Dual Mode
The Dual Mode turns the JX-10 to the 6voice
synthesizer that allows both the Upper and the
Lower Tones to sound simultaneously. Arich
sound is obtained.
There are two independent pareiiel outputs for the
upper and lower Tones, which serve to create the
effect as if two synthesizers were simultaneously
played.
Push the Key where the keyboard should be
divided into two sections. Upper and Lower.
The right side including the pushed key will be
the Upper, and the left will be the Lower
keyboard.

b. Tone Number
To change the Tones in aPatch Memory, simply
assign the Tone Number of the relevant Tone by
using the Ten Keys.
PROCEDURE
(T) Push the Upper or the Lower Button ®to
select the Upper or Lower Tone which you
wish to change.
@Pushing the appropriate Ten Keys, assign the
new Tone Number, then hit the Enter Key.

"0" of the Ten Keys can be used instead of the UPPER and LOWER Buttons.
Even when using the Patch Memory of the JX-10's
internal memory, the Tone Number of the Car-
tridge can be called.
After taking the step (V), change the Voice Memory
Switch to the CART position.
Then return It to the INT position after taking
the step (2).
If you call other Patch Memory without writing it
into memory, the Tone called from the Cartridge
memory will be erased.
To call the Tone from the Memory Cartridge (M-
16C), take exactly the same procedure as above.
The available Tone Numbers, however, are from
1to 32.

c. Chase Play
The Chase Play function makes it possible to out-
put the Lower sound slightly later than the Upper
sound. This function, however, is available just in
the Dual Mode.
Depending on the delaying time and the Tone in
use, the effects created differ; delay-like effect,
sound-on-sound like effect etc.
PROCEDURE
Push ON/OFF of the Chase Play Buttons ®.
The corresponding indicator wili light up, showing
that now the Chase Play function is turned on.
(2) Set the following 3functions: Time, Level and
Mode so that the ..'^isired effect will be obtained.
The "Level" and "Mode" are alternately selected
by pressing the FUNCTION of the Chase Play But-
tons. The Display shows the function selected.
The "Time" function can be selected by pressing
the TIME of the Chase Piay Buttons. The value of
the selected function can be changed by using the
QDial.
1) Level
This sets the level of the delayed sound (= lower
sound).
Rotating the aDial, set the value you like. The
value changes from 00 to 99, and the higher
number sets higher level.

2) Mode
This sets how the delayed sounds are output
sequencially. As you rotate the aDiai, the Display
changes as "U-UU-", "U-L-L-" or "U-L".
•U-L-U-: in this mode, Upper sound is output
first, then Lower, Upper, Lower
repeatedly.
•U-L-L-: in this mode. Upper sound is output
first, then Lower sounds repeatedly.
•U-L: in this mode. Upper sound is first
output then Lower. No more sound is
output.

This sets the time between the first (Upper) sound
and the second (Lower) sound.
Push the TIME of the Chase Play Buttons to turn to
the Time adjusting mode, then change the value
rotating the aDial. 01 to 99 are valid and the
higher number is longer time.

As the ievel described on the previous page in
"D Level" is set higher and the key touch is
stronger, more delay sounds are obtained. If the
Tone Parameter Number 63 "VGA Dynamics
Range" is set to OFF, the volume of the sound
does not change, but repeats in the same volume.
