1.
Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select
the desired “Common” parameter, then
press the dial.
The following parameters are available:
Reverb Type: This parameter allows you to specify
what kind of reverb effect you need. The available
reverb types are:
Reverb Level: This parameter allows you to modify
the output level of the Reverb processor.
Chorus Type: Chorus broadens the spatial image of
the sound and creates a stereo impression. You can
choose from 8 types of chorus.
Chorus Level: This parameter allows you to modify
the output level of the Chorus processor.
Song Volume: This parameter allows you to set the
overall volume of the selected song if you think it is
too loud/soft compared with other songs.
Song Tempo: Allows you to change the song’s tempo
(q= 20~250).
Transpose: This parameter allows you to transpose all
song parts (except the drums) up to 12 semitones (1
octave) up or down. This value is written to the song
data and used every time you play back this song.
Undo Changes: This function allows you to cancel all
“SMF Makeup Tools” settings you have made and to
revert to the previously saved version. After selecting
this parameter with the [CURSOR÷VALUE], press the
dial to restore the setting of the last version you
saved.
2.
If you are satisfied with your changes and
wish to preserve them, save your song to the
USB storage device.
See “Saving your new song version” on p. 53.
NOTE
The changes you make using the procedure described
above can be “burned” into the song file using the “Freeze
Data” (see p. 53) and “Save” commands. Doing so will allow
you to hear those changes on any sequencer (software)
you use. Changes you don’t “freeze” are nevertheless stored
when you save the edited song file—but only the JM-5 can
read them.
■ If you select “Instrument”
The display will show a list of all instruments that are
used by the selected song:
Setting Meaning
Original This setting means that the song uses its own
(programmed) reverb settings.
Room1,
Room2,
Room3
These types simulate the reverb characteris-
tics of a room. The higher the number (1, 2 or
3), the bigger the “room” becomes.
Hall1,
Hall2
These types simulate the reverb of a small (1)
or large (2) concert hall and thus sound much
“bigger” than the Room types above.
Plate This algorithm simulates the acoustics of a
concert hall.
Delay A delay effect (no reverb). Works a lot like an
echo effect and thus repeats the sounds.
Pan Delay This is a stereo version of the above delay
effect. It creates repetitions that alternate
between the left and right channels.
Setting Meaning
Original The song uses its own (programmed)
chorus settings.
Chorus
1~4
These are conventional chorus effects
that add spaciousness and depth to the
sound.
Fbk Chorus This is a chorus with a flanger-like effect
and a soft sound.
Flanger This is an effect that sounds somewhat
like a jet airplane taking off and landing.
Short Delay This is a full-fledged delay effect that
can be used instead of a chorus or
flanger. As you will see, there are a lot of
parameters you can program.
Short Dly FB This is a short delay with many repeats.
