Sets the MIDI message used to change the parameter with the Matrix Control.
Ordinarily, if you wanted to change analogue part parameters using an external MIDI device, you would need to send
System Exclusive messages–MIDI messages designed exclusively for the JD-XA.
However, System Exclusive messages tend to be complicated, and the amount of data that needs to be transmitted can
get quite large.
For that reason, a number of the more typical of the JD-XA’s analog part parameters have been designed so they accept
the use of Control Change (or other) MIDI messages for the purpose of making changes in their values. This provides you
with a variety of means of changing the way tones are played. For example, you can use the Pitch Bend lever to change
the LFO cycle rate, or use the keyboard’s touch to open and close a lter.
The function which allows you use MIDI messages to make these changes in realtime to the tone parameters is called the
“Matrix Control.”
Up to four Matrix Controls can be used in a single part.
To use the Matrix Control, specify which MIDI message (Source) will be used to control which parameter (Dest) and how
greatly (Sens).
* Velocity and Keyfollow correspond to Note messages.
* If you want to use common controllers for the entire JD-XA, select “SYS1”–“SYS4.” MIDI messages used as System
Control 1–4 are set with the Tone Control 1–4 Src (Owner’s Manual “Overall Settings for the JD-XA” (p. 12) 0

Explanation
When portamento is used, this species the time over which the pitch will change. Higher
settings will cause the pitch change to the next note to take more time.
Applies legato. The term “legato” refers to a playing style in which notes are smoothly
connected to create a owing feel. This creates a smooth transition between notes, which is
eective when you wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-o techniques used by a
guitarist.
* This is available only if poly stack is “o .”
This layers a single sound. If the Unison Switch is on, the number of notes layered on one key
will change according to the number of keys you play.
* This is available only if poly stack is “on.”
Species the amount of pitch change that occurs when the pitch bend/modulation lever is
moved all the way to the left.
Species the amount of pitch change that occurs when the pitch bend/modulation lever is
moved all the way to the right.
The pitch lever aects only the last-sounded note. If you play a note while the pitch bend lever
is already moved, that note sounds at its normal pitch (as though the lever were in the center).
The pitch starts changing only after the lever passes through the center position.

When portamento is used, this species the time over which the pitch will change. Higher values

Portamento will be applied only when you play legato (i.e., when you press the next key before
releasing the previous key).
Turns ring modulator on/o.
By multiplying partial 1’s OSC and partial 2’s OSC, this creates a complex, metallic-sounding
waveform like that of a bell.
The partial 1’s OSC waveform will change as shown in the illustration, and partial 2’s OSC will be
output with its original waveform.
Setting the partial 1 OSC and the partial 2 OSC to dierent pitches will make the ring modulator
eect more apparent.

If Ring Switch is turned “ON,” the PWM Depth, PW, and S-Saw Detune of partial 1 and partial 2
cannot be used.
In addition, if an asymmetrical square wave is selected as the OSC waveform, the OSC variation
will be ignored, and there will be a slight dierence in sound compared to the originally selected
waveform.
Species whether notes will sound polyphonically (POLY) or monophonically (MONO).
This is valid only if the Mono/Poly parameter is set to “MONO.”
If this is “ON,” pressing a key while the previous key remains held down will cause the pitch to
change to that of the newly pressed key while maintaining the state in which the previous note
was being sounded. This creates a smooth transition between notes, which is eective when you
wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-o techniques used by a guitarist.
This layers a single sound.
If the Unison Switch is “ON,” the number of notes layered on one key will change according to the
number of keys you play.

Species the depth of 1/f modulation that is to be applied to the tone (1/f modulation is a pleasant

NORMALThe pitch bend lever works in the conventional way.
The pitch lever aects only the last-sounded note. If you play a note while the pitch bend lever is
C+L
(CATCH+LAST)
already moved, that note sounds at its normal pitch (as though the lever were in the center).
The pitch starts changing only after the lever passes through the center position.
Shortens the FILTER and AMP Attack Time according to the spacing between note-on events.

Higher values produce a greater eect. With a setting of 0, there will be no eect.
This is eective when you want to play rapid notes using a sound that has a slow attack
(Attack Time).
Shortens the FILTER and AMP Release Time if the interval between one note-on and the next note-
0–127
o is brief. Higher values produce a greater eect. With a setting of 0, there will be no eect.
This is eective when you want to play staccato notes using a sound that has a slow release.

The cycle of the Timing Pattern is based on a 4/4 time signature.
You can use Rate to adjust the synchronization speed as follows.
Rate maximum: One cycle of Timing Pattern corresponds to one measure.
Rate minimum: One cycle of Timing Pattern corresponds to a 32nd note.
By changing the Rate setting you can change the cycle in the range between a 32nd note to one full measure.
*3: Set Balance to the center value, adjust PITCH to raise the frequency of the sine wave, and set Threshold so that the sine wave is heard appropriately for the input source.
After you’ve nished setting the Threshold, adjust the Pitch and Balance. This is a useful way to strengthen a kick drum.

Adjusts the change in the density of the reverb over time.
The higher the value, the more the density increases with time.
(The eect of this setting is most pronounced with long reverb times.)
If this is set to “msec,” you can specify the DELAY Time in msec units.
If this is set to “NOTE,” you can specify the DELAY Note in terms of a note value relative to the
tempo.
If Fx TempoSync is “ON,” this indicates (NOTE), and operation is the same as when “NOTE” is
specied.
Delay time from when the original sound is heard to when the delay sound is heard
Speed at which the current delay time changes to the specied delay time when you change
the delay time. The rate of change for the Delay Time directly aects the rate of pitch change.
Adjusts the amount of the delay sound that’s fed back into the eect.
Negative (-) values invert the phase.
Adjusts the frequency above which sound fed back to the eect is ltered out.

About the STEP RESET Function
04: Step Filter
18: Slicer
The above types contain a sixteen-step sequencer. For these types,
you can use an MFX CONTROL to reset the sequence to play from
the rst step. To do this, set the MFX CONTROL Destination to “Step
Reset.”
For example, if you are using the modulation lever to control the
eect, you would make the following settings.
ParameterValue
SourceCC01: Modulation
DestinationStep Reset
Sens+63
With these settings, the sequence will play back from the rst step
whenever you operate the modulation lever.
Controlling an MFX via MIDI (MFX CONTROL)
You can use MIDI messages such as control change messages to
control the principal MFX parameters. This capability is called “MFX
CONTROL (multi-eects control).”
The parameters that can be controlled are preset for each MFX type,
and are the parameters marked by a “#” symbol in the explanations
of each MFX parameter on p. 25 and following. Up to four multieects control settings can be assigned using MFX CONTROL.
To use MFX CONTROL, you’ll need to specify which MIDI message
(Source) will aect which parameter (Destination), and how greatly
(Sens).

corresponding MFX CONTROL parameter.

Explanation
If you’re using a condenser mic, connect it via the balanced (XLR) plug and turn this “ON”
(phantom power is not supplied to the 1/4” plug).
If you’re using a dynamic mic, turn this “OFF.”
* You must leave phantom power turned o unless you have connected a condenser mic
that requires a phantom power supply. Supplying phantom power to a dynamic mic or an
audio playback device can cause malfunctions. For details on mic specications, refer to the
owner’s manual of the mic you’re using. (This unit’s phantom power supply provides DC 48 V,
10 mA maximum.)

If you hold down a pedal switch while playing a chord, the arpeggio continues playing even if you release the keyboard.
1. Connect your pedal switch (e.g., DP series; sold separately) to the HOLD jack.
2. Press the [ARPEGGIO] button.
3. Play a chord while holding down the pedal switch.
If you play a dierent chord or key while the arpeggio is being held, the arpeggio also changes.
Species the time signature and swing of the arpeggio.
This determines the note value of one grid unit, and species the shue strength (none/light/heavy).
1/4: Quarter note (one grid unit =one beat)
1/8: Eighth note (two grid units = one beat)
1/8L: Eighth note, light shue (two grid units = one beat; light shue)
1/8H: Eighth note, heavy shue (two grid units = one beat; heavy shue)
1/12: Eighth note triplet (three grid units = one beat)
1/16: 16th note (four grid units = one beat)
1/16L: 16th note, light shue (four grid units = one beat; light shue)
1/16H: 16th note, heavy shue (four grid units = one beat; heavy shue)
1/24: 16th note triplet (six grid units = one beat)
Species the duration that each arpeggiated note is sounded.
This determines whether notes are played briey to produce a staccato feel, or lengthened to produce a tenuto feel.
30–120: For example if this is set to “30,” a note on the grid (or in the case of a note that is extended across multiple
grid units by a tie, the last tied note) will have a duration that is 30% of the note value specied by the Grid setting.
Full: Even if consecutive grid units are not connected by a tie, the note continues to sound until the same note is again
assigned to play.
Species how notes are sounded if more keys are pressed than the number of notes specied by the arpeggio.
Refer to “Selecting the upward/downward variation (Motif)” (p. 60).
Species the strength at which the arpeggiated notes are sounded.
REAL: The velocity depends on the strength at which you play each key.
1–127: The notes are sounded at the velocity you specify here, regardless of how strongly you play the keys.
Species the range across which the arpeggio’s pitch is shifted.
The pitch range is shifted in steps of an octave each cycle.
You can specify this separately for the upward direction and the downward direction (maximum ±3 octaves).
Species the strength of the arpeggio’s accents.
If this is set to “100,” dynamics are applied to the notes according to the velocities of the notes assigned to the
arpeggio. If this is set to “0,” all notes are sounded at the same strength.
