DIP switch 5:

This switch is used to select OMNI mode. OMNI Mode allows the JX42 to respond to Control and Program changes on 

any MIDI channel (1-16). Setting the JX42 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  JX42  features  can  be  activated  using  MIDI  Control 

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

how the JX42 will respond to these messages. At least one of 

these switches needs to be in the UP position for the JX42 to 

respond to MIDI commands.

Select OMNI mode by setting DIP 

switch #5 in the UP position

When in the DOWN position, OMNI mode is OFF and the JX42  

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 JX42 will respond to MIDI messages sent on all MIDI 

channels.
