[net.music.synth] JX-3P in MIDI mode

michael1@ihlpm.UUCP (pula) (04/03/85)

Can someone out there help with the following problem/observation:

On my JX-3P (a six voice synth), when I play normally (mode switch
in middle position)  six notes will sound at one time if I play a
six note chord.  When the seventh note is played assuming all six have
still been held down, the lowest order note will turn off.  

Yesterday, I oberved that when I swithched to MIDI interface mode,
I was not able to hold a six note chord, inface only three notes seem to 
operate at once!  What's the deal?  Is my JX-3P screwed up?  Does
the connection with my MPU-401 have anything to do with it?  NOTE:
this is on power up.  I did not sent any commands to the MPU-401 yet!

Thanks in advance,
-mike-
