JP-08 not receiving transpose data over midi

Post by johnxyz »

Hi - I can't get my JP08 to recognise note transpose data over midi from another keyboard. Is that correct?

No. Which keyboard are you using? Note that almost no Roland keyboards send the transpose command to external midi, it only works on the internal engine for 99% of roland gear. The exception is the Jupiter 50/80 and I think the JD-XA. I found this out the hard way, and it was surprisingly difficult to get customer services to tell me that most Roland gear couldn't do that function.

If it's not a Roland product check the manual or customer services of that brand to ensure that midi transposing is sent down the midi cable. I use a Kurzweil PC3LE which does support this feature, specifically to control 4 boutiques.
