Other MIDI parameters for the EXTERNAL IN parts

edit and set the desired value with the dial.

the upper left corner should receive (RX) MIDI data.
■
MIDI RX
CHANNEL (1~16):
Allows you to assign a MIDI chan-
SHIFT (–48~48):
This parameter allows you to trans-
pose the received note messages before sending
them to the JM-8’s tone generator. The maximum
possible transposition is four octaves up (48) or down
(–48). Each step represents a semi-tone.
LIMIT HIGH/LIMIT LOW (C–1~G9):
“LIMIT HIGH” and
“LIMIT LOW” allow you to set the note range to be
received. If not all note messages received on a given
MIDI channel should be played by the selected JM-8
part, narrow down the range.
Note:
The LOW LIMIT value cannot be higher than HIGH
LIMIT (and vice versa).
