Re: JX-8P Preset Questions

Rainer,

Thank you for the helpful response.  I now realize that I need to be in "parameter" mode in order to see the changes on the synth.  The other question I had doesn't concern me that much.  It was just something that I was curious about.  

Again, thanks for your hard work on the template.  All of us JX-8P owners are benefiting from it! :-)
