Common Roland JX-03 Questions
How do I sync the JX-03's sequencer to an external MIDI clock source like a DAW?
Set the JX-03's system settings to 'MIDI Sync = Internal' or 'MIDI Sync = External' via buttons in the Utility section. Then, configure your DAW to send MIDI clock signals to the JX-03's MIDI input.
How do I save my custom patches on the Roland JX-03?
After editing a patch, press the 'Manual' button, then press and hold the 'Write' button, followed by the desired patch number (1-16 for A bank or 1-16 for B bank with Bank switch) to overwrite the existing patch in that slot.
The JX-03 is making no sound. What are some things I should check?
Verify that the volume knob isn't turned down, the MIDI channel settings on the JX-03 and your controller/DAW match, and ensure that the correct MIDI input/output ports are selected in your DAW's preferences.
How do I access the different banks of sounds (A, B) on the JX-03?
Press the 'Bank' button to toggle between Bank A and Bank B. Each bank contains 16 patch locations.
What are the key differences between the JX-03 and the original Roland JX-3P?
The JX-03 is a scaled-down Boutique recreation with added features like a built-in sequencer, chorus effect, and USB audio/MIDI, but lacks the full-sized keyboard and some of the hands-on control of the original.
