General procedure
Selecting the ‘SMF MAKEUP TOOLS’ environment
(1) Press the [EXIT] button repeatedly until it stops
flashing to return to the main page (if necessary).
(2) Press
[MENU]
‰
[ADVANCED]
‰
[ SMF¥MAKEUP¥TOOLS ]
.
(If this page is not displayed, press the
[PALETTE]
dis-
play button in the upper left corner.)
All modifications on this page and the related pages
are SysEx data that alter the actual song data (with-
out replacing them).
(3) Now continue with one of the following sections:
Selecting the instrument you want to edit
(a) Use the PAGE
[ø][ ˚ ]
display buttons in the lower
right corner to select the instrument you want to
edit.
If you select a Drum Set, the display changes as
shown below. Drum Sets are used for the drum part
of the selected song.:
(See page 92 for an explanation of the
[PERC¥MUTE]
and
[DRUM¥MUTE]
display buttons.)
The
[OCTAVE]
display field disappears (because trans-
posing the drum part in octave steps doesn’t make
sense).
(b) Press the
[JUMP¥TO¥1st¥NOTE]
display button to
jump to the location where the instrument is used.
Playback starts automatically from that point.
Soloing or muting the instrument
(a) Select the instrument with the PAGE
[ø][ ˚ ]
display
buttons.
(b) If you can barely hear the Tone/Drum Set, press the
[SOLO]
display button (its indicator icon must
“light”), then use
[JUMP ≈ TO¥1st¥NOTE]
to jump to
the first note of that instrument. Press
[SOLO]
again to switch this function off.
(c) Use the
[MUTE]
display button to switch the
selected instrument off.
The corresponding part is no longer played back. (Just
as a reminder: this setting only applies to the
selected instrument and thus not necessarily to the
entire track.)
Note: In the case of the drums, you can mute two instru-
ment groups separately.
Selecting a different Tone or Drum Set
To select a different Tone or Drum Set, proceed as fol-
lows:
(a) Select the instrument with the PAGE
[ø][ ˚ ]
display
buttons.
(b) Press the long sound name field (next to the
instrument icon).
(c) If available, use the Family
[ø][ ˚ ]
display buttons to
select the Tone family.
The JM-8’s Tones are grouped into 15 families: guitar,
bass, strings, etc. The name of the selected family is
displayed in the upper left corner. The Drum Sets are
all part of the same family.
Note: See page 139 for a list of available Tones and Drum
Sets.
Note: All Drum Sets belong to the same family. The Family
[ø][ ˚ ]
display buttons are not available when the indication
in the upper left corner reads “Drums”.
