Introduction

Model A “model” is a sound engine that reproduces a specific vintage unit or a sound engine that is optimized for specific functionality.

For example, there is a model that reproduces the vintage JUPITER-8 synthesizer.

Each model is equipped with different unique parameters and effects, and the effect of operating the knobs and other controllers will also differ. This means that you can use a single JUPITER-Xm unit as if you owned a variety of units.

There is a model that reproduces the vintage JUPITER-8 and JUNO-106 synthesizer.

You can create tones for each model.

Tone The sound assigned to a part is called a “tone.”

For each tone you can make settings such as oscillator, filter, and effects (MFX). The structure and effects of a tone differ depending on the sound engine (model).

Part To each of the five parts, you can assign a sound (tone), and specify pan and EQ settings.

You can assign a tone to each part and play it.

There are five parts. You can assign a synthesizer tone to each part 1–4, and a rhythm tone to part 5.

Certain sound engines (models) can be assigned only to part 1.

Scene Settings for all parts, the I-ARPEGGIO settings, and the scene effect settings are all saved together as a “scene.”

A scene stores the entire state of your favorite performance settings, including settings for each part (such as tone number, pan, and volume), settings common to all parts (such as reverb, delay, and chorus), and sequence data for each part.

It is convenient to save your settings beforehand as scenes, and then switch between these scenes while you perform.

You can save a total of 256 scenes, which are organized as 16 scenes × 16 banks.

I-Arpeggio Based on an analysis of your keyboard performance, this plays an optimal arpeggio pattern using multiple parts.

Simply by selecting a TYPE and RHYTHM, you can use I-ARPEGGIO with a wide variety of settings.

When thinking of ideas for a song, you can change the settings while trying out various keyboard performances; when you find a good phrase use the STEP EDIT function to capture and edit it, then import it as MIDI data into the DAW on your computer.

Introduction

[10] on/off to remove or bring back just the drum sound as a performance effect.

[11]–[16] buttons

The following performance functions are assigned to these buttons. These functions are active when the [PART] or [FUNCTION] button is lit.

[11 (MONO)] button When on, that sound plays in mono (single notes). (SCENE PART EDIT> Mono/Poly)

The mono setting alternates between on (Mono)/off (Poly) each time you press the [11 (MONO)] button.

[12 (UNISON)] button If this is on, that sound plays in unison. (SCENE PART EDIT> Unison Sw)

When “unison” is on, the same tone at a slightly different pitch is layered with the part 1 tone, making the sound thicker.

Unison alternates on/off each time you press the [12 (UNISON)] button.

MEMO

The depth of the effect depends on the settings of the tone that’s selected.

[13 (VELOCITY OFF)] button If this is on, notes are sounded at a fixed velocity value (which you can set); i.e., velocity is turned off. (SCENE PART EDIT> KBD Velo)

The velocity off setting alternates on/off each time you press the [13 (VELOCITY OFF)] button.

The fixed velocity value can be specified in SCENE PART EDIT> KBD Fixed Velo.

[14 (PORTAMENTO)] button If this is on, portamento is applied to that sound. (SCENE PART EDIT> Porta Sw)

Portamento is a function that smoothly varies the pitch between the first-played note and the next-played note.

Portamento turns on/off each time you press the [PORTAMENTO] button.

MEMO

The way in which portamento applies differs depending on the settings of the selected tone.

02 When one of the ASSIGN settings in SCENE EDIT COMMON is PART FADE 1/2

The volume of parts whose Keyboard Sw is on is controlled by the controller that is assigned to PART FADE 1/2, so sound might not be heard depending on the setting of the controller.

If you want to always play the corresponding part from the keyboard, assign all of the SL1, SL2, and Ctrl settings to something other than PART FADE 1/2.

Alternatively, if only one Keyboard Sw is on, the PART FADE effect is disabled, and you can play just the corresponding part.

03 When Part Sw is off

If when the PART button is lit, you hold down the [SHIFT] button and press a [6]–[10] button, the Part Sw turns on/off. If you accidentally turn this off, the corresponding part won’t produce sound.

Normally you’ll leave all Part Sw settings on.

04 If a volume or similar setting is lowered

In addition to the above situations, the corresponding part will not be heard of one of the volume settings is lowered. Since there are numerous parameters that affect the volume, a simple way to bring back the sound is to clear the settings by switching scenes. In this case, the current scene settings will be lost, so save the scene before you try this.

Assigning the Desired Model or Category to the [1]–[16] Buttons

By holding down the [MODEL BANK] button and pressing a [1]–[16] button, you can assign a MODEL/CATEGORY/USER to each button.

Up to eight models or categories can be assigned to a button.

1 . Hold down the [MODEL BANK] button and press the button ([1]–[16]) that you want to assign .

2 . Press the PAGE [ ] button .

3 . Choose whether you want to assign a model or a category .

4 . Press the PAGE [ ] button .

5 . Select a model name or a category name to assign it .* Up to eight models or categories can be assigned to a button.* You can’t assign both models and categories to a button simultaneously.

6 . If you want to save the setting, execute the System Write operation .& “Saving the System Settings (System Write)” (p. 33)

What’s the differences between models and categories?

Both refer to attributes of tones.

“Models” organize tones by their sound engine or tone bank (e.g., JUPITER, PR-A).

“Categories” organize tones by the type of instrument or sound (e.g., Ac.PIANO, Synth Lead).

When you make assignments for a [MODEL BANK] button, you are specifying how you intend to look for tones.

Selecting or Turning On/Off an Oscillator or Partial ([FUNCTION] Button)

You can use the [1]–[4] and [6]–[9] buttons to select or turn on/off oscillators or partials without changing the indication in the display.

[1]–[4] buttons

Select an oscillator or partial of the tone you’re editing. The number of oscillators that can be selected will differ depending on the model.

For some models, you can select multiple oscillators or partials by pressing multiple buttons simultaneously, allowing you to edit them together.

[6]–[9] buttons

Turn the tone’s oscillators or partials on/off.

For some models, there is no on/off switch (they are always on), and the sound is adjusted only by increasing or decreasing the OSC LEVEL.

Playing a Pattern You Entered ([STEP EDIT] Button)

This button selects step edit mode.

In this mode, the arpeggio performance stops, and each part can play a step-recorded pattern that you entered.

Introduction

Performing with a Connected Mic (Vocoder)

The “Vocoder” adds effects to a human voice. If you run your voice through the vocoder, you can give it a toneless, robotic tone. Control the pitch by playing the keyboard.

1 . Connect a microphone to the rear panel MIC IN jack .

NOTE

The JUPITER-Xm supports dynamic microphones and electret condenser microphone (plug-in power system). It does not support condenser microphones.

2 . Use the rear panel [MIC GAIN] knob to adjust the volume .Make detailed adjustments to the MIC IN volume after you select the sound.Initially, set the knob to approximately the center position.

3 . Select part 1, and then press the [MODEL BANK] button to make it light .

4 . Press the [MODEL BANK] button and then press button [15] .

5 . Use knob [1] to select a vocoder sound (two types) .

6 . While playing the keyboard, vocalize into the microphone .Use the [MIC GAIN] knob to make fine adjustments to the volume.

Adjusting the Mic SettingsDepending on the environment in which you’re performing, noise from the surroundings might be picked up by the mic, causing the vocoder to not work as you intend.

In this case, adjust the microphone sensitivity and the noise suppressor (NS) settings, so that it is less likely to pickup noise.



3 . Use the [1] knob to select a parameter, and use the [2] knob to edit the value .

MIC IN parameters

Parameter[1] knob


MIC INMic In Gain -24.0–+24.0 [dB] Adjusts the input level of the MIC IN jack.

Mic Power 0–1 If this is “ON,” plug-in power (5 V) is supplied to the MIC IN jack.

NS Switch OFF, ON

Switches the noise suppressor on/off.The noise suppressor is a function that suppresses noise during periods of silence.

NS Threshold 0–127 Adjusts the volume at which noise suppression starts to be applied.

NS Release 0–127Adjusts the time from when noise suppression starts until the volume reaches 0.

CompSwitch OFF, ONSpecifies whether the mic compressor (a compressor applied to the mic input) is used (ON) or not used (OFF).

Parameter[1] knob


CompAttack 0.1, 1, 2,... 100 [ms]

Specifies the time from when the input to the mic compressor exceeds the Comp Thres level until the volume is compressed.

CompRelease 10, 10, … 1000 [ms]

Specifies the time from when the input to the mic compressor falls below the Comp Thres level until compression is no longer applied.

CompThreshold -60–0 [dB] Specifies the level at which the mic compressor starts applying compression.

CompRatio1: 1, 2: 1, …4: 1, 8: 1, 16: 1, 32: 1, INF: 1

Specifies the compression ratio for the mic compressor.

CompKnee 0–30 [dB]

Smooths the transition until the mic compressor starts to be applied.Higher values produce a smoother transition.

CompOutGain -24.0, -23.5, … 0, …, +24.0 [dB]

Specifies the output volume of the mic compressor.

Rev Send Lev 0–127 Specifies the amount of reverb that is applied to the mic input.

Cho Send Lev 0–127 Specifies the amount of chorus that is applied to the mic input.

Dly Send Lev 0–127 Specifies the amount of delay that is applied to the mic input.

Mic Thru ON/OFF If you want the mic to be cut when the vocoder is off, turn this “OFF.”

4 . If you want to save the setting, execute the System Write operation .& “Saving the System Settings (System Write)” (p. 33)

Preventing acoustic feedback

Acoustic feedback could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to built-in speakers (or the external speakers). This can be remedied by:

5 Changing the orientation of the microphone(s). 5 Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers. 5 Lowering volume levels.

Basic Editing Operations

Selecting the oscillator to edit

When the [FUNCTION] button is lit, press a [1]–[4] button .(The [1]–[4] buttons correspond to OSC (oscillator) 1–4 respectively.)The oscillators that can be selected differ depending on the model.

Selecting the oscillators that produce sound

When the [FUNCTION] button is lit, press a [6]–[9] button .(The [6]–[9] buttons correspond to OSC (oscillator) 1–4 respectively.)Some oscillators cannot be selected for some models.

Switching pages

Press a PAGE [<] [>] button .

Selecting parameters

Turn the [1] knob .

Editing a value

Turn the [2] knob .

OSC (Oscillator)

The pitch is determined by the speed at which the waveform repeats. A waveform that takes one second to repeat is said to have a frequency of 1 Hertz (1 Hz). The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch. Conversely, the lower the frequency, the lower the pitch.

FILTER

The brightness of a sound can be modified by boosting or cutting specific frequency ranges. Boosting the high-frequency range produces a brighter sound, while boosting the low-frequency range produces a darker sound.

LFO (Low frequency oscillator)

The OSC, FILTER, and AMP can be modulated at a rate specified by the LFO to create vibrato (by modulating the pitch) or tremolo (by modulating the volume).

ENVELOPE

The OSC, FILTER, and AMP each have an envelope that operates each time you play a key, applying time-varying change to the pitch, tonal character, and volume.

Each aspect of the sound is controlled by its own envelope.

EFFECTS

“Effects” allow you to modify or enhance the sound in various ways, such as by adding reverberation or delaying the sound.

Saving a Sound You’ve Created (WRITE)

The sound you create will change if you move a knob or select a different tone, and will be lost when you switch off the JUPITER-Xm’s power.

When you’ve created a sound you like, you should save it as a user tone.



3 . Use the [1] knob to select the save-destination, and then press the [ENTER] button .

4 . If you want to rename the tone that’s being saved, use the PAGE [<] [>] buttons to move the cursor and use the [2] knob to specify characters .

5 . Press the [ENTER] button .A confirmation screen appears.

Q&A

Overall / System

01 Can I specify a MIDI channel for each part?

Yes.

You can specify a desired channel as the Basic CH (part 1), and part 2 and following will be assigned channels Basic CH + 1–4.

PART1: Basic Ch setting value

PART2: Basic Ch + 1

PART3: Basic Ch + 2

PART4: Basic Ch + 3

PART5: Basic Ch + 4

02 Does the sound change as on an analog synthesizer according to temperature and the passage of time?

If the Aging function is “ON,” an internal temperature sensor is used to apply change to some synthesizer sounds (sounds for which the TONE parameter Pitch Drift is specified), simulating the way in which temperature variation and the passage of time after startup can affect the sound of an analog synthesizer.

Turn the Aging function “ON” as described below, and notice how the sound changes.


2 . Use the [1] knob or [2] knob to select “SYSTEM,” and then press the [ENTER] button .

3 . Use knob [1] to select “Aging,” and use knob [2] to select either “ON” or “FAST .”

ON: Simulation is on. The status of Pitch Drift will change in approximately ten minutes, and will subsequently stabilize at the value of the TONE setting Pitch Drift.

FAST: This mode shortens the change of the ON setting to approximately ten seconds, allowing you to hear the effect of Pitch Drift.

FIXED: The internal temperature is fixed at the value specified by Aging Init Temp, and the character of the sound at that point is maintained.

4 . Press the [WRITE] button to save the setting .A confirmation message appears.

03 Can the internal speaker be turned off at all times?

Yes.

Use the following procedure to turn the internal speaker "OFF."

Q&A

06 How many hours can I continue to use the unit on battery power?

Approximately 3.5 hours (when using nickel-metal hydride batteries with 1,900 mAh capacity).

However, the usable time might decrease depending on the volume of the internal speakers.

07 Do the internal speakers produce enough volume for a live performance?

They are not suitable for this purpose.

The internal speakers are intended for personal enjoyment by the individual who is playing the instrument. For use in a live performance, we recommend that you connect an external amp or speaker.

Operating the Unit

08 Why do the panel knobs and buttons work sometimes and not at other times?

The parameters are different for each model, so there are cases in which a controller has no parameter. Since the controllers without a parameter differ between models, a controller might or might not have an effect.

The parameter that is controlled by each knob or button will differ depending on the model used by the tone that’s assigned to the current part (the currently selected part).

& “Correspondence Between Controllers and Parameters” (p. 16)

09 Is there a way to move quickly to the edit screen for the parameter controlled by each knob?

Yes.

1 . Hold down the [SHIFT] button and turn the knob of the parameter that you want to edit .The setting screen appears.& “List of SHIFT Operations (Shortcuts)” (p. 30)

10 Is there a way to check the current value of a setting without affecting the state of the sound?

Yes.

1 . Hold down the [EXIT] button and operate the knob that you want to check .The current value of the setting is shown.

11 Is there a way to quickly change the PORTAMENTO TIME?

Yes.

1 . While the [FUNCTION] button (or the [PART] button) is lit, hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [PORTAMENTO] button .The PORTAMENTO TIME setting screen appears.

2 . Use knob [2] to edit the PORTAMENTO TIME .

12 The part on/off button is lit, but I can’t play the sound of that part from the keyboard.

(Buttons [6]–[9] when the [PART] button is lit)

This might be due the following reasons. 5 The part might be assigned for arpeggio performance 5 The I-ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] button is ON, and the ARPEGGIO PART EDIT parameter Switch

is “ON” or “KEYSW”

& “If the keyboard does not play sound” (p. 10)

13 Is there a way to move quickly to the TONE (PARTIAL) edit screen?

Yes.

1 . When the [FUNCTION] button is lit, hold down the [SHIFT] button and press a [1]–[4] button .The edit screen for the corresponding tone or partial appears.

14 Is there a way to move quickly to the assignment screen for the [SL1/2] sliders or [S1/S2/S3] buttons?

Yes.

1 . Hold down the [SHIFT] button and operate the slider or button that you want to assign .The assignment screen for the corresponding controller appears.

15 Can I change the models or categories that are recalled by the MODEL buttons [1]–[16]?

Q&A

Sound Engine

16 What is the meaning of “MODEL” in a model bank?

A model is a sound engine that reproduces the sounds and parameter changes of famous vintage analog synthesizers and other historical instruments.

Some models provide not only the sounds that were found on the original, but also newly re-created sounds.

17 What varieties of “MODEL” are provided?

Six types are provided: JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, JX-8P, SH-101, XV-5080, and RD (Piano).

18 Can a model be used with more than one part?

This depends on the model.

“RD” and “VOCODER” can be used only with part 1.

Other models can be used with parts 1–4.

19 Can a drum kit be used with any part?

No, a drum kit can be used only with part 5.

It cannot be used with parts 1–4.

20 Is the unit equipped with a vocoder?

Yes, it is.

To use the vocoder, proceed as follows (with the factory settings).

1 . Connect a dynamic microphone or an electret condenser microphone to the rear panel MIC IN jack .

2 . Adjust the MIC GAIN .

3 . Select part 1, and then press the [MODEL BANK] button to make it light .

4 . Press the [MODEL BANK] button and then press button [15] .

5 . Use knob [1] to select a vocoder sound (two types) .

6 . While playing the keyboard, vocalize into the microphone .The vocoder effect is applied.

* Phantom-powered condenser microphones are not supported.

21 Can I input audio playback from my computer instead of audio from the mic input, and apply the vocoder?

Yes, you can.

1 . Connect the JUPITER-X/Xm with your computer via USB .

2 . Choose “OUT MIC” as the audio output device of your computer .Now the audio playback of your computer can be used for vocoder performance.

22 What is the maximum simultaneous polyphony?

It differs depending on the type and combination of models.

As an example, if the JUPITER-8 is assigned to all four parts, the maximum simultaneous polyphony will be 32 voices (up to eight voices per part).

In the case of PCM sounds, up to 256 notes (for MONO) can be produced.

23 When JUNO-106 or SH-101 is selected, why can’t the OSC [TYPE] knob change the type?

On the JUNO-106 and SH-101 synthesizers, the sound is created by adjusting the volume of (or turning on/off) PW (square wave / pulse wave), SAW (sawtooth wave), SUB OSC (sub oscillator), and NOISE (noise) respectively.

This means that these models do not use the concept of selecting an oscillator waveform, and therefore the OSC type cannot be changed.

Create the sound as follows.

1 . Select JUNO-106 or SH-101 .If you want to start editing from the simplest possible sound, use “TONE INITIALIZE” to initialize the tone.& “24 Can I edit from the initialized sound of a model?” (p. 43)

2 . Press the [FUNCTION] button .

3 . Use the [1]–[4] buttons to select the waveform that you want to adjust .Button [1]: PW (square wave / pulse wave)Button [2]: SAW (sawtooth wave)Button [3]: SUB OSC (sub oscillator)Button [4]: NOISE (noise)

4 . Use the OSC section’s [LEVEL] knob to adjust the volume (or turn it on/off) .

43

Q&A

24 Can I edit from the initialized sound of a model?

Yes.

Initialize the tone as follows.


2 . Use the [1] or [2] knob to select “TONE INITIALIZE .”

3 . Press the [ENTER] button .The message “INITIALIZE TONE Are you sure?” appears.

4 . Press the [ENTER] button to execute initialization .You return to the WRITE MENU screen.

* The initialized sound and settings differ depending on the model.* Depending on the scene settings, the sound of multiple parts might be

layered, or the part parameter settings might not produce the sound that you expect. In this case, you should first initialize the scene (SCENE INITIALIZE) before initializing the tone.

25 What is the difference between the VINTAGE FILTER [R] [M] [S] buttons?

[R]: This is the filter of the original Roland model, and is selected by default.

[M] [S]: These model the filters of vintage synthesizers made by other companies.

When a vintage type model is selected, you can use the VINTAGE FILTER [R] [M] [S] buttons to change the filter type.

Effect

26 Is there a way to quickly turn off the effect such as reverb or delay?

Yes.

For presets and factory-set scenes, the [S1] button is assigned to turn “scene delay” on/off, and the [S2] button is assigned to turn “scene reverb” on/off. Each time you press the button, the delay or reverb for all parts turns on/off.

If the delay sound remains even after you make the [S1] button go dark, it could be that delay is specified for the part’s MFX. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and turn the [MFX] knob to access the setting screen, and turn the Switch “OFF .”

27 Which parameters are associated with the knobs of the effect section?

This varies depending on settings such as SCENE PART EDIT: OUTPUT and SCENE PART MFX: FllwToneMFX.

The easiest way to find the associated parameter is to hold down the [SHIFT] button and operate the corresponding button, so that the associated parameter screen appears.

Arpeggio

28 What is the I-Arpeggio function?

I-Arpeggio (I-ARPEGGIO) is a new type of arpeggiator in which built-in AI analyzes your keyboard performance and switches to the optimal arpeggio pattern in real time.

It differs from conventional arpeggiators in the following ways.

It allows multi-part performance, and lets you freely specify the parts to play manually and the parts played by the arpeggiator.

Depending on the type (TYPE) and rhythm (RHYTHM) that you select, you can change the way in which the arpeggio pattern is affected by your keyboard performance. You can also enable or disable change by turning the PLAY DETECTOR [KEYS] and [BEAT] buttons on/off.

29 How do I use the PLAY DETECTOR [KEYS] button and [BEAT] button?

[KEYS] button: This specifies whether the constituent notes of the arpeggio performance will change according to your keyboard playing.

For example, if you want the constituent notes that you’ve once specified from the keyboard to remain the same while you add additional notes from your keyboard performance, turn the [KEYS] button off.

[BEAT] button: This specifies whether your performance will affect the arpeggio pattern.

For example, if you want to change the chord without changing the performance pattern, turn the [BEAT] button off and the [KEYS] button on.

If KEYS and BEAT are both off, the current arpeggio performance is kept. You can freely solo on the keyboard while that accompaniment remains fixed.

44

Q&A

30 Can I mute a part while the arpeggio is playing?

Yes.

1 . With the [PART] button lit, hold down the [SHIFT] button and press button [6]–[10] for the part that you want to mute .The switch of each part (PART SW) can be turned on/off.For example, you can temporarily mute just the drum sound during the performance (hold down the [SHIFT] button and press button [10]).

31 Can I edit the I-Arpeggio pattern data?

No, it is not possible to edit the I-Arpeggio pattern data itself.

A pattern that you entered using STEP EDIT can be used as part of an I-Arpeggio. In this case, however, it is used as fixed pattern data, and does not change according to the performance.

32 Can I record or edit the I-Arpeggio performance?

You can edit it.

Each cycle of the arpeggio performance is always recorded internally, and can be accessed and edited by the STEP EDIT function. The edited pattern can be used as an arpeggio user pattern, or used as MIDI data in your DAW software.

33 Can I prevent the I-Arpeggio [TYPE] and [RHYTHM] knobs from changing the sound or tempo?

Yes.

Proceed as follows.


2 . Select "SYSTEM," and press the [ENTER] button .

3 . Use knob [1] to select the following ARPEGGIO parameters, and use knob [2] to turn each "OFF ."Set ToneSet DrumkitSet Tempo

4 . To save the changes, press the [WRITE] button .

5 . When the screen asks, “SYSTEM WRITE Are you sure?,” press the [ENTER] button .The screen indicates “Now writing . . .,” and you return to the SYSTEM setting screen.

34 Can the I-Arpeggio synchronize with the tempo of an external sequencer?

Yes.

Both master and slave synchronization are supported. In SYSTEM settings, set the SYNC/TEMPO parameters as appropriate for your situation.

& “SYNC/TEMPO each parameters”

35 Can I connect an external MIDI keyboard and use it for keyboard performance with I-Arpeggio?

Yes.

6 . When the screen asks, “SYSTEM WRITE Are you sure?,” press the [ENTER] button .The screen indicates “Now writing . . .,” and you return to the SYSTEM setting screen.

36 Can I use STEP EDIT to change the number of recorded steps for the arpeggio performance?

Yes.

Change the necessary parameter settings as follows.

1 . Press the [STEP EDIT] button .

2 . Press the [ENTER] button .

3 . Press the PAGE [<]button .Change the Grid Length etc.

37 When I copy in the Copy I-Arp screen, parts that don’t play are sometimes recorded.

(STEP EDIT)

If in SCENE EDIT COMMON, any one of the ASSIGN parameters SL1, SL2, or Ctrl are assigned to “PART FADE1” or “PART FADE2,” a part whose volume was too small to hear might be played in STEP EDIT.

In this case, delete the STEP data of the unwanted part.

Other

38 What type of batteries can be used?
