It has a small-sized keyboard with 32 minikeys and a pitch-bend wheel, vibrato and sustain buttons, an internal Frequency modulation (usually referred to as FM) synthesizer offering 25 different voices with 6-note polyphony, two operators, and a very basic chord sequencer.
These sounds can be modified by 16 parameters, saved as drum patch presets, and combined into drum kits. The parameters are combined into edit groups, including Attack, Decay, Pitch, EQ, Bend, and Gate. [6] You are limited to only the factory PCM samples.
The Kontakt synthesizer includes several optional transformations to the sample's sound. Pitch level, pitch bend, velocity curve, tuning system (including quarter-tone), dynamics, microphone distance, equalizer, lid position (closed, half-, or full-stick) as well as choice of performance space may all be modified.
There are 11 tunings available including the standard Equal Temperament, useful to experiment or produce a performance of classical music in the tuning of its day (e.g. Pythagorean, Werckmeister, 1/4 tone, etc). Microtuning is also available allowing the user to specify the pitch of each note to create unique tunings.
The Minimoog also was the first synthesizer to feature a pitch wheel, which allows players to bend notes as a guitarist or saxophonist does, allowing for more expressive playing. Moog's associate David Borden felt that Moog would have become extremely wealthy had he patented the pitch wheel.
Roland equipped the JX-1 with practical performance features including pitch bend and modulation wheels, reverb and chorus effects, and a unique set of stereo inputs, allowing players to mix external audio sources with the internal sounds. This setup is intended for live performance scenarios where quick setup and broad sonic capability are needed.
As one of the earliest MIDI devices, the JX-3P's MIDI implementation is basic, supporting only note on/off, pitch bend, hold, modulation and program change messages. Neither "System Exclusive" nor "Continuous Controllers" (CC) are implemented, so external patch storage or real-time parameter updates are not possible through MIDI (except with ...
