DIP switches 1-4:

These four switches select which MIDI channel (1-16) the JX44 will respond to. The guide below shows which position 

each switch should be in for each corresponding channel.  

DIP switch 5:

This switch is used to select OMNI mode. OMNI Mode allows the JX44 to respond to Control and Program changes on 

any MIDI channel (1-16). Setting the JX44 to a specific channel is particularly useful when linking multiple MIDI devices 

as they can all be set to only respond to changes on their assigned channel. 

Some MIDI equipment will default to OMNI mode when first switched on, so it is important to check configurations upon 

power-up and re-select the channel on your device if necessary. 

DIP switches 6-7:

The  JX44  features  can  be  activated  using  MIDI  Control 

Changes, Program Changes, or both. Switches 6 and 7 select 

how the JX44 will respond to these messages. If both switches 

are in the same position the JX44 will respond to both Control 

Changes and Program Changes.

DIP switch 8:

Dip switch 8 is used to toggle between two modes of operation 

for the stereo EFX Loop. When switch 8 is in the default UP 

position, the JX44 is in ‘normal’ mode. When switch 8 is moved 

to the DOWN position, ‘wet/dry/wet’ mode is activated. Please 

see page 8 of this manual for further details on this feature.

Select OMNI mode by setting DIP 

switch #5 in the UP position

When in the DOWN position, OMNI mode is OFF and the JX44  

will only respond to MIDI messages on the channel selected 

with switches 1-4. When in the UP position, OMNI mode is ON 

and the JX44 will respond to MIDI messages sent on all MIDI 

channels.
