Explanation
SOUND
Local Switch OFF, ON
Enables/disables the connection between
the controller section (keyboard, pitch
bend/modulation lever, wheels, panel knobs
and buttons, pedals, etc.) and the internal
sound engine.
Normally you should leave this “ON.” Choose
the “OFF” setting if you want operations on
the JD-XA to control only an external sound
module.
MasterTune 415.3–466.2
Sets the JD-XA’s overall tuning (the
frequency of the A4 key).
MasterKeySft -24–+24
Shifts the JD-XA’s overall pitch range in
semitone steps.
Master Level 0–127 Sets the JD-XA’s overall volume.
Output Gain -12 dB–+12 dB Adjusts the JD-XA’s overall output gain.
SYNC/TEMPO
Sync Mode
MASTER
The JD-XA will be the synchronization
master. Choose this setting if you’re using
the JD-XA on its own without synchronizing
it to another device, or if you want the
tempo of an external MIDI device to
synchronize with the JD-XA.
REMOTE
The JD-XA will obey start, and stop
messages from another device, but the
JD-XA’s own tempo setting is used as the
playback tempo.
SLAVE
The JD-XA will be the synchronization slave.
Choose this setting if you want the JD-XA
to synchronize to MIDI clock messages
received from an external device.
Sync Output OFF, ON
Specifies whether clock, start, and stop
messages are transmitted to another device
(ON) or are not transmitted (OFF).
Clock Src MIDI, USB
When the Sync Mode is “SLAVE,” this setting
specifies whether the JD-XA will synchronize
to synchronization messages from the MIDI
IN connector or from the USB port.
TempoSrc
SYSTEM,
PROGRAM
Specifies whether the tempo will use the
system tempo setting (SYSTEM) or the
tempo setting of the program (PROGRAM).
Sys Tempo 5.00–300.00 Specifies the JD-XA’s system tempo.
CLICK
Mode
OFF No click is sounded.
PLAY-ONLY The click sounds when a pattern is playing.
REC-ONLY
The click sounds when a pattern is being
recorded.
PLAY&REC
The click sounds when a pattern is playing
or being recorded.
ALWAYS The click sounds at all times.
* Regardless of the Mode setting, the click always sounds
from the CLICK jack.
Level 0–10 Adjusts the click volume.
Accent Sw OFF, ON Adds an accent to the click sound.
CLICK OUT
Level 0–127
Adjusts the output volume from the CLICK
jack.
Stereo Sw MONO, STEREO
Switches the CLICK jack between stereo and
mono.
Specify “MONO” if you’re using a monaural
cable, or “STEREO” if you’re using a stereo
cable.
MIDI
Device ID 17–32
When transmitting and receiving system
exclusive messages, the device ID numbers
of both devices must match.
Remote Kbd OFF, ON
Turn this “ON” if you’re using an external
MIDI keyboard instead of the JD-XA’s
keyboard. In this case, the MIDI transmit
channel of your external MIDI keyboard
does not matter. Normally, this can be left at
“OFF.”
* If you want to control the arpeggiator
from an external MIDI device, turn this
“ON.”
Prog Ctrl Ch 1–16
Specifies the MIDI receive channel on
which program change messages to switch
programs or control change messages that
control parameters of the entire program
are received from an external MIDI device.

AFT
Specify the MIDI messages that will be used
as system controls.
System Control settings allow you to specify
MIDI messages that will apply in common
to the entire JD-XA, and can be used for
controlling volume, tone, etc.
You can assign up to four MIDI messages for
this type of control.
If you want to make assignments for
realtime control of the sound and effects
for each tone independently, use “matrix
control” or “multi-effect control.”
