We added Section Lock function to lock certain sections of the Editor to prevent changes up on part program changes or when randomizer is triggered. This is great when you find a perfectly adjusted filter or oscillator: lock the section to keep those settings locked in.
You can lock any of the sections which has the LOCK [1] symbol in it – There are more locks available in the other tabs too!
When LOCK [1] is toggled on at any section, RELEASE ALL LOCKS [2] button will allow you to release all locks with one click. This is ideal if you have overlooked your layers and data is being transmitted back and forth even if you don’t want that.
LOCK [3] on the “GENERAL SETTINGS” view locks or unlocks the entire layer at once. There is individual locks for both layers.
JP-80×0 Editor User Manual – Section Locks
NOTE: When you have sections locked, there will double the amount of SysEx traffic in the MIDI stream due to the fact that the Editor has to send the ”locked” info back to the hardware after the patch is changed. If you scroll patches from librarian, then the data stream is normal.
