12. 6  - MIDI Controller Parameters for

each mode

The following list displays which parameters are

available for continuous control in each mode, gives
you their value plus the abbreviated form and order
in which they appear on the LCD display.

* Mono Only

12.7 - System Exclusive Back-up

If you have access to a data filer, sequencer or

other external MIDI storage device you may wish to
down load the programmed data from your JFX-1
using the System Exclusive Back-up. You could also
use the ‘Back-up’ function to transfer data between
two JFX-1 units.

You would need to connect a standard MIDI

cable from the MIDI OUT of the JFX-1 to the MIDI
IN of the receiving device.

Press the ‘System’ key to get into the System

menu.

Use the ‘Up’ key to move the cursor until it

rests under MIDI.

Press the ‘System’ key a further five times to

take you into the System Exclusive Back-up
display.

The Display shows:

Press the ‘Up’ key to start the back-up.

The Display shows:

The three digits at the end of the display will

automatically scroll through until they reach ‘111’
which completes the back-up.

The display reverts to the System Exclusive

Back-up mode.

Reloading the Memory

To reload the stored information from an external

MIDI device you should connect the MIDI OUT of
the transmitting device to the MIDI IN of the JFX-1.

Press the ‘System’ key to get into the System

menu.

Use the ‘Up’ key to move the cursor until it

rests under MIDI.

Use the ‘System’ key to scroll through the other

MIDI functions until the 6th selection is made.

The Display shows:

Use the ‘Up’ key to ENABLE the System

Exclusive and the ‘Down’ key to DISABLE it.

Note :  The JFX-1 is factory set with the

system exclusive DISABLED.  It is a wise
precaution to ensure that the system is returned to the
DISABLED mode after information has been down
loaded

WARNING :  

Receiving a MIDI dump will re-

write all your existing program and mapping data - if
you are unsure that the data you are loading is
correct make a back-up of your current data before
re-loading.  The JFX-1 will only receive a data re-
load with the System Exclusive ENABLED.

When you start re-loading, the JFX-1 will

automatically default to the System Exclusive in
progress display.

The Display shows:

The three digits will automatically progress in

sequence up to ‘111’ until the re-load is complete.

The Display shows:

If there is an error in the MIDI data, The JFX-1

will abandon the load.

The Display shows:

In this instance you could try the re-load again,

the error could be due to a file corruption or a faulty
cable.

12. 8 - Battery Level

The final function of the System menu is to

provide an indication of the internal battery power
level.

The battery should provide sufficient power to

maintain the memory for a number of years but the
level should be checked periodically as follows.

Press the ‘System’ key to enter the System menu.

Use the ‘Up’ key to move the cursor until it rests

under BAT.

Press the ‘System’ key to display the battery

level.

The Display shows:

When the battery level becomes low-

The Display shows:

You should now make arrangements to return the

JFX-1 to your nearest authorised service centre for
battery replacement and also back-up your programs.

12. 5 - MIDI Controllers

For live performance it can be beneficial to be

able to adjust certain program parameters remotely
via a pitch wheel or expression pedal.

Each of the 127 programs in the JFX-1 can have

up to four parameters assigned for continuous
control.  Each effects mode features a selection of
assignable parameters from which you can choose
the most useful for your needs (see 12.6 for listing of
MIDI controller parameters available for each mode).

To program the MIDI controllers you

must first enter the system menu by pressing
the ‘System’ key.

Use the ‘Up’ key to move  the cursor

until it rest under MIDI.

Press the ‘System’ key four times to take

you through the MIDI channel, Input
mapping and Output mapping selections.

The Display shows:

Use the ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ keys to select

the internal number of the parameter to be
controlled (1 -4).

Use the Data Control 

to select the

external MIDI controller number (off and
000 - 121).

Note :  The JFX-1 leaves the factory with all the

MIDI  control numbers in the ‘Off’ position.

Use Data Control 

to select the

individual parameter to be controlled.

Note :  In certain effects modes there are

a greater number of parameters available
than the four allocated to each program.  In
this case you should scroll through using
Data Control 

before making your

selection.

Finally you will need to store the selected MIDI

Controllers for the individual program by
pressing the ‘Store’ key.

The Display shows:

If you are happy with the location displayed press

‘Store’ again to complete the process.
