Controlling an External MIDI
Device from the JX-305
Although it is fully enjoyable to play the JX-305 by
itself, even more interesting uses become possible
when it is used to control other MIDI devices as well.
Playing a sampler from the JX-305
By using the JX-305 in conjunction with a digital sam-
pler such as the SP-202 (sold separately), samples such
as human voice or sound effects that were recorded on
the sampler can be played from the keyboard of the
JX-305. Or, you can create patterns that use both JX-
305 sounds and sampled sounds, for more variation.
Here we will give an example showing how part 1 of
the JX-305 can control the SP-202.
fig.14-5(#MC fig.16-7)
1. Set the MIDI channel of the SP-202 to “1.”
2. Set the Local Switch of the JX-305 to “EXT”
(p. 165).
3. Select part 1 as the current part, and play
the keyboard.
The sampled sounds of each pad of the SP-202 will
sound.
While you play back a pattern, try playing samples as
well. Even after switching patterns, you can still con-
trol the SP-202 from part 1.
* The notes C2–G4 of the JX-305 can be used to play the
SP-202. Playing notes outside this range will not make
the SP-202 sound.
Next, let’s record musical data on the JX-305 that will
play the SP-202, and create a pattern that will add SP-
202 sampled sounds to the performance of the JX-305.
1. Select the pattern to which you want to
add SP-202 sampled sounds.
For this example as well, we will record the musical
data for the SP-202 on part 1. If musical data has
already been recorded on part 1, erase that data before
you begin.
☞ “Erasing Unwanted Data (Erase)” (p. 141)
2. Set the Sequencer Output Assign setting of
the JX-305’s part 1 to “EXT” (p. 36).
3. Record the musical data for the SP-202
onto part 1.
It is probably best to use real-time recording to record
by playing the keyboard.
4. When you are finished recording, press
[STOP/PLAY] to play back the pattern.
The SP-202 sampled sounds will play in addition to
the sounds of the JX-305.
5. Use the Pattern Write operation to save the
pattern (p. 36).
Playing an External MIDI Sound
Module from the JX-305
The same procedure can be used to control an external
MIDI sound module or a digital sampler other than
the SP-202.
In the following example, part 1 controls the external
MIDI sound module, and part 7 controls the SP-202.
fig.14-6(#MC fig.16-9)
When the JX-305’s current part is part 1 or part 7, you
will be able to play the external MIDI sound module
or the SP-202 from the keyboard.
When you record, the external MIDI sound module
will be recorded on part 1, and the SP-202 on part 7.
If you wish to play the internal sound source of the JX-
305, set the Local Switch to “INT” (p. 165).
