For connecting MIDI device.
Introduction Turning On/Off the Power Selecting a Part ** Once everything is properly connected (p. 3), be sure to follow the procedure below to turn on their power. If you turn on equipment in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment failure. ** Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

Editing a Sound (Program) Initializing a Sound (Init) Here’s how to initialize the settings of a program, part, partial, or pattern. 1. Hold down the [Shift] button and press the [Program Select/Init] button. The INIT screen appears. 2. Use the cursor [K] [J] buttons and the [-] [+] buttons to specify what you want to initialize.
Recording (Pattern Sequencer) The pattern sequencer lets you record keyboard performance and knob operations, and play them back repeatedly. When you record, the currently selected part is recorded. Erasing Only a Portion of a Phrase 1. During playback or recording, press the [Erase] button (Erase Mode). The button is lit, allowing you to erase notes. The Erase screen appears. 2. Use the [-] [+] buttons to choose what you want to erase, and then press the [Enter] button.

Using the Microphone Using the Vocoder A “vocoder” is an effect that is typically applied to a human voice. By sending a human voice through a vocoder, you can give it an unexpressive robotlike character. The pitch is controlled by playing the keyboard. ** Acoustic feedback could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by: 55 Changing the orientation of the microphone(s). 55 Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.
Connecting External Devices Using the JD-XA as a MIDI Controller Connecting a Computer via USB The JD-XA’s panel operations can be transmitted as MIDI messages from its MIDI OUT connector or from USB MIDI OUT. 1. Press the [MIDI CTRL] button. Keyboard performance and panel operations transmit MIDI messages on eight channels (channels 9–16 by default) that are separate from those used by the analog parts and digital parts.
