1. Panel descriptions

Front panel

MASTER VOL knob

Use this knob to set the JM-8’s global output volume

(all signals transmitted to the OUTPUT sockets). The

setting of this knob also determines the volume in

the headphones you may have connected.

BACKING knob

This knob allows you to set the balance between the

songs (audio or MIDI) and the signal sources you can

connect to the JM-8 (microphones, guitar, audio

devices).

AUDIO IN knob

This knob allows you to set the input level of the sig-

nals received via the AUDIO IN jacks to establish the

desired mix with the signals received via MIC 1 and

MIC 2.

EXTERNAL MEMORY port (USB)

This port is mainly intended for compact storage

devices, like USB memory, etc. Though you could also

connect a USB hard disk here, be sure to use a pow-

ered one (i.e. with its own adapter).

Note: Roland does not recommend using USB hubs, irre-

spective of whether they are active or passive. Please con-

nect only one USB storage device to this port.

Display

This full-color LCD display not only displays impor-

tant information while you are using the JM-8, it is

also touch-sensitive. This means that you can select

and edit parameters simply by touching them on

screen.

VIDEO section

The buttons in this section provide access to the

video signals the JM-8 receives from its VIDEO IN

socket, to picture files (in the .jpg format) and to the

available video effects (EFX).

The [MIC 1] knob controls the level of the micro-

phone connected to the MIC 1 jack. The [REVERB]

that is added to this signal.

The [VOCAL] button activates the vocal effect. Press

and hold it to select the desired voice transformation

and/or harmony effect (see p. 30).

MIC 2 section

The [MIC 2/GUITAR] knob controls the level of the

microphone or electric guitar connected to the MIC 2

jack. The [REVERB] knob in this section sets the level

of the reverb effect that is added to this signal.

The [GUITAR] button activates the guitar effect pro-

cessor. Press and hold it to select the desired effect

for your electric guitar (see p. 29).

Note: The GUITAR effect is only available if you set the

TAR”.
