It does not support the MKS70 single patch/tone dumps nor does it support sysex editing of patch parameters.
The command format is the same as that used by the MKS70 rack version of the JX10.įor further information, see the links to other notes below. That is, if you are using Dual or Split mode, the Tone that is currently active for editing (the one with the dot by the number) will be modified by the SysEx. This firmware allows editing of the currently active tone via midi.

You could always erase and re-write the original EPROM, but back it up before you do.ĭetails of how to swap the ROM over are here. The binary image should be written to a suitable 32k EPROM (27C256) and swapped for the original firmware on the assigner board - the one with the 6303 processor. You may not download this file unless you are the owner of a Roland JX10 synthesizer. I only provide the image as a full dump rather than a patch file to save the hassle of reading then patching an existing ROM. The bulk of the code is copyright Roland Corp. This is the latest version, based on the v2.3 JX10 firmware.
Jx10se2.3.zip - This file is a zip of binary dump of my hacked version of the JX10 firmware If you're not sure how to go about writing and fitting a new EPROM, DONT DO IT! When I found the code for SysEx reception there was only a slight hint that they had planned to implement editing via midi, no 'broken' code for it, but with a little thought, I found a way to hack it in there myself.ĭISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility for any damage undertaking a ROM swap may cause to your JX10, or any coincidental damage. The Roland software engineers must have either been under real pressure to get the job finished, or they simply got the office cleaner to write it, because it is a poorly structured, badly written mess. In the process I learned a lot about how the JX works, how the PG800 works, and how NOT to write firmware for a synthesizer.

So I got hold of the service manual and the datasheet for the 6303 processor used in the assigner board, and set about dis-assembling the firmware, in the hope of finding the 'bug' that stopped SysEx sound edits working. Like many JX10 owners without a PG800 programmer I was disappointed to find that Roland had made a complete arse of the midi implementation - there is no way to edit sounds via midi. Any eBay sellers have simply downloaded the ROM image to burn onto chips and sell without permission.Ĭontrary to information from Roland, the voice board ROMs for the JX did not change for version 2.1 or 2.3 of the assigner code, so the sysex modified ROM should be usable with any version of JX. This is the final version of the assigner code. May 2013: The modified sysex code is based on version 2.3 of the JX10 assigner code. I sold my JX several years ago now, and no longer actively sell this ROM, as it has been superseded as described above. This page gives details of the modified firmware I developed for the Roland JX10 to add system-exclusive editing of tones via MIDI. It would be daft to go to the bother of upgrading your ROM, and not getting the extra features of Fred's ROM for the reasonable extra cost. I have decided therefore to stop selling my JX ROM. It includes a lot more features than my sysex add-on, and includes the same sysex support. This week I became aware of a new project by Fred Vecoven to completely re-write the JX10 assigner and voice board OS from scratch.įred has done a great job, and his assigner code is now available to buy on ROM.
