INTRODUCTION
The Roland JX-10 is a fully programmable 12 voice polyphonic synthesizer. Various sounds and performance
control functions can be stored, ready to be used.
• The JX-10 features the memory capacity that can retain up to 64 different programs (= Patch Memory) which
are the combinations of sounds (Tones) and performance control functions.
• Any of the Patch Memory can be called just by pushing appropriate buttons.
• The Patch Memory you have written into memory can be easily edited whenever you like
• Using the Memory Cartridges, it is possible to expand the memory capacity.
• Thanks to the new and refined MIDI implementation the JX-10 can be edited via sys-ex and dedicated Editor
Librarians such as emagic SoundDiver®, SoundQuest MidiQuest® and other editors expecially designed for
the Apple iPad. To dump and load patches there’s no need to keeping M-64C inserted
• The 76 key keyboard and MIDI functions make the JX-10 an excellent masterkeyboard
New midi implementation
• Each parameter is now OFF/RECV/SEND/ON, allowing fine control of what gets sent and what is filtered.
• Sysex support : allow edition of patch, tone A and tone B individually. (No need for M64 cartridge)
• Fast bulk dump/load : 4-5 seconds to dump everything. Can dump to/from cartridge and internal memory.
• Edition of parameters (patch and tones) sends sysex, so all editions can be sequenced. PG800 is also
supported here, so editions made from the PG800 can also be sequenced.
• Copy from/to cartridge to create a full backup of the internal memory (all settings are now copied to the
cartridge or restored from it)
Controls C1 and C2 enhancements
• Any tone parameter can be assigned to C1 or C2
• Any arpeggiator parameter can be assigned to C1 or C2
• C1 and C2 can be used, in tone edit mode, to modify upper/lower tone parameter. This allows quick editing of
tones for those who don’t have a PG800.
Arpeggiator
• 8 arpeggiators “patches”
• Internal or external synchronization
• Supports up, down up/down, as played and random notes ordering
• Various arpeggio types
• Velocity setting (fixed or as played)
• Note duration (1-15 or legato)
• Use lower split point to control which notes are arpeggiated
PG-800 support
• New display options
• Control whether updates from sysex, PG-800 or controllers are displayed temporarily on-screen
Compatibility mode
• Allows to disable new features for full compatibility with old software (for example, sysex changes made to tone
A can be redirected to the currently selected tone, etc...)
Test modes
• Test hardware controllers (voices, A/D controllers (aftertouch, bender, C1/C2), keyboard)
• Test memory chips
