General MIDI parameters
Below please find a number of MIDI parameters (most
of the filters) that apply to the JM-5’s overall MIDI
behavior.
1.
Use [MENU] button ‰ “MIDI” ‰ “Edit
Parameters” to go to the following display
page:
2.
Use the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select and
set the required parameters.
The following parameters can be set here:
Song Clock Tx Off, On This option means that
the song sends MIDI
Clock messages that
tell the receiving
instrument or MIDI
device which tempo to
choose.
Note: This only works if
the “MIDI Direction”
parameter is set to
“OUT” (see p. 58).
Song Position
Tx
Off, On If you switch this
parameter on, the
player of the JM-5
sends Song Position
Pointer (SPP) mes-
sages that indicate the
current playback posi-
tion.
Note: See your exter-
nal sequencer’s, etc.,
manual to find out
whether it accepts
Song Position Pointer
messages.
Mode Explanation
Internal The JM-5 uses its internal tempo (no syn-
chronization).
Auto This is a good setting for remote control of
song playback (using a PK-5A dynamic
MIDI pedal board, for example). Whenever
the JM-5 receives a MIDI Start message
(FA), it waits for Clock messages that spec-
ify the tempo. If those Clock messages are
not received, the JM-5 starts playback
using its internal tempo. If, however, Clock
messages (F8) follow after the Start mes-
sage, the JM-5 uses the external tempo.
You can nevertheless go on using the SMF
player without MIDI Start/Clock messages.
MIDI Song playback can only be started or
stopped with MIDI real-time messages
(Start, Stop, Clock) received from an exter-
nal clock source.
Remote When the JM-5 receives a start message, it
starts using its own tempo. When it
receives a stop message, playback stops.
External clock messages are ignored.
Parameter Setting Explanation
Parameter Setting Explanation
Rx Transpose Off, On Use this parameter to
specify whether note
messages received via
MIDI should be trans-
posed.
Rx Velocity On,1~127 Your JM-5 is equipped
with a sound source
capable of responding
to velocity messages.
This parameter allows
you to switch the
reception (RX) of
velocity messages on
or off.
If you don’t want to
use “On”, specify which
velocity value to use
instead of the continu-
ous flux. This value will
be used for all notes
received via MIDI
(hence “Rx”).
Rx Sysex Off, On Use this parameter to
specify whether the
JM-5 should receive
SysEx messages from
other devices. Such
messages are not stan-
dardized, so that each
manufacturer can use
them ad lib for tempo-
rary (or permanent)
changes to the way a
part behaves. They may
slow down playback or
yield no effect at all,
which is why you have
the option to switch
off their reception.
