Roland JX-3P MIDI Expansion Kit

Finally! In via Dennis on AH. updated link. A software editor is also coming. Very cool.



"The Roland JX-3P synthesizer is a nice analog synth produced in 1983. Today people still use this synth very often. The JX-3P was one of the first synthesizers with MIDI. The sounds can be edited only with a PG-200 programmer. One of the biggest disadvantages is that the MIDI functionality is very limited. It is impossible to edit the sounds via MIDI. The second disadvantage is that the PG-200 programmer and the MIDI-IN can not be used simultaneously."

"With this kit you can:

• use the MIDI Input and PG-200 simultaineously.


• control the JX-3P realtime with standard MIDI-Controller messages. (i.e. with a MIDI-Knob controller)


• all knobs and switches on the PG-200 send out standard MIDI-Control messages.


• record the PG-200 knob and switch movements in your favorite sequencer.


• use the PG-200 as MIDI-controller to control other MIDI devices.


• create, load and store new JX-3P patches with your computer, and share them with other people.


• select the MIDI channel on the JX-3P as 1, 2, 3 or OMNI.
