13. External Tone Parts (for MIDI module operation)
The JM-5 can also be used as a three-part multitimbral MIDI module in conjunction with an external controller (master
keyboard, MIDI accordion, etc.) or sequencer (software).
There are three MIDI parts (channels) that can be used
alongside the 16-part tone generator for Standard MIDI
File playback (for a total of 19 MIDI parts).
The JM-5 provides several parameters for these parts
that allow you to select the desired sounds (called
“Tones”) and several sound-related settings. These set-
tings can be saved to one of the 10 “User” memories.
