High-performance synthesis engine
The all-important sound generator is a high-perfor-
mance synthesizer offering 64-note polyphony. A rich
array of parameters, including sharp filters and ADSR
envelopes can be modified using the knobs on the
panel to create your own sounds. The sound generator
can also be used as a multitimbral sound module, pro-
viding up to eight parts.
Cutting-edge patterns that lead the
scene
The JX-305 contains 274 high-quality preset patterns
for immediate use and 494 RPS patterns. Since the pat-
terns cover a wide range, from techno to reggae, this
instrument provides everything you need for most sit-
uations.
Sounds that match today’s trends
The diverse assortment of carefully selected sounds
and rhythm sets ranges from those from the TB-303,
JUNO, JUPITER and TR-808/909—indispensable for
the dance scene—to realistic acoustic sounds. From the
day you take the JX-305 home, you can enjoy today’s
leading-edge sounds.
You can also create your own original sounds and
store them in memory for immediate recall at any
time.
Three sophisticated digital effect units
High-performance DSP (digital signal processing)
technology provides you with a wide range of effects.
Three effect units are provided: Reverb adds reverber-
ation, Delay adds echo-like effects, and general-pur-
pose ffect unit provides 24 types of effect that have
been optimized for dance music.
Three key modes
The JX-305 provides three key modes: single, dual,
and split. It’s easy to divide the keyboard into left and
right zones, which can play different sounds simulta-
neously, or you can layer two sounds for every note.
A sequencer to help your ideas take
shape
You can construct a song in real time as you play, sim-
ply by switching the playback patterns. During
recording, you can switch the recording part to record
non-stop.
The JX-305’s internal memory by itself can contain
approximately 75,000 notes (up to 200 patterns). By
using a memory card (SmartMedia), the capacity can
be boosted to a maximum of approximately 480,000
notes (up to 200 patterns).
Use the arpeggiator to create phrases
You can play arpeggios simply by pressing the key-
board. Your musical imagination and taste are all you
need to create completely new phrases.
RPS (Real-Time Phrase Sequence) func-
tion
You can play back phrases simply by pressing a single
key. This has a wide variety of uses, such as adding
accents during a song, or playing an entire song using
just RPS.
Play quantize changes the groove in
real time
The JX-305 provides three types of play quantize:
Grid, Shuffle and Groove. Simply by rotating a knob,
you can produce your own “groove” in real time.
Controls for live performance
The JX-305 is designed for live performance, with fea-
tures such as a mute button that lets you instantly
silence the playback of a specific part or rhythm
instrument, and a Real-Time Transpose function that
lets you transpose during pattern playback. Of course,
you can also move knobs during pattern playback to
modify the sound in real time.
