"Warning —This equipment has been verified to comply with the limits for
aClass Bcomputing device, pursuant to Subpart J, of Part 15, of FCC rules.
Operation with non-certified or non-verified equipment is likely to result in
interference to radio and TV reception."
The equipment described in tinis manual
generates and uses radio-frsquency energy.
if it is not installed and used properly, that
is, in strict accordance with our instruc-
tions, it may cause interference with radio
and television reception.
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply v^/ith the limits for aClass B
computing device in accordance with the
specifications In Subpan J, of Pan 15, of
FCC Rules. These rules are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such
an interference in eresidential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that the
interference will not occur in aparticular
installation. If This equipmeni does cause
interference to radio or teievision recep-
tion, which can be determined by turning
the equipment on and off, the user is err^
couraged to try to correct the interference
by the following measure:
•Disconnea other devices and their input/
output cables one at atime. If the Inter-
ference stops, it is caused by either the
other device or its 1/0 cable.
These devices usually require Roland
designated shielded I/O cables. For Roland
devices, you can obtain the proper shielded
cable from your dealer. For non Roland
devices, contact the manufacturer or dealer
for assistance.
If you equipment does cause interference
to radio or television reception, you can
try to correct tne interference by using one
one or more of the following measures:
•Turn the TV or radio antenna until the
interference stops.
•Move the equipment to one side or the
other of the TV or radio.
•Move the equipment father away from
the TV or radio.
•Plug the equipment into an outlet that is
on adifferent circuit than the TV or
radio. (That Is, make certain the equip-
ment and the radio or television set are
en circuits controlled by different circuit
breakers or fuses.)
•Consider installing arooftop television
antenna with coaxial cable lead-in be-
tween the antenna and TV.
If necessary, you should consult your
dealer or an experienced radio/television
Technician for additional suggestions. You
may find helpful the following booklet
prepared by the Federal Communications
Commission;
"How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV
Interference Problems"

into the sequencer will be played. When all
the notes are played, the data will return to
the beginning and played again. Pressing
the Start/Stop button once more (Its indi-
cator will go out) will stop playing. The
tempo of the data is adjusted with the Rate
knob @.
*if you slop the data in the middle and
start again, the data will be played
from the right beginning.
*If you wish to play the data only once,
write some rests in the end of the data,
so that it is easier to stop the data in
the right place.
•The indicators of the Tone Selector
buttons tell you the step and the mea-
sure of the data being played. Simply
press the Start/Stop button while
holding the Rest button down.
*Pressing the Mute button (7) (Its indi-
cator will light up) will decrease the
volume of the sequencer. In this case,
the keyboard is not splited (Refe'" to
-^P.6).
[Keyboard Playing with the sequence]
The JX-3P generates up to 6notes (voices)
at atime. For instance, if 4notes are
played in the sequencer, 2notes are left
available on the keyboard. If altogether
more than 6notes are played on the key-
board and in the sequencer, the notes ex-
ceeded will be lost. Also, if you play the
same notes as the sequencer's, those notes
are stacked and sound richer (unison
effect).
[Synchronization]
The built-in sequencer of the JX-3P can be
synchronized with an external rhythm
machine, sequencer, etc. In this case, all
you need to write In the built-in sequencsr
is, the pitch.
C) Applications
[1] Overdubbrng
It is possible to write anew phrase over the
phrase previously written. You can write
up to 128 steps altogether and up to 6
notes in each step.
[l)Find the shortest time value in the
phrase you wish to write. Then divide
the longer time values with the shortest
one. The example below Is the 4voice
