An Overview of the JUPITER-Xm
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.
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.
For example, 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.
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.

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 respec-
tively.)
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 respec-
tively.)
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 (p. 4) 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.
1. Press the [WRITE] button.
The WRITE MENU screen appears.
2. Use the [1] knob or [2] knob to select "PART* TONE" (* is the
part to which the tone you're saving is assigned), and then
press the [ENTER] button.
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.
6. To execute, press the [ENTER] button.
If you decide to cancel, press the [EXIT] button.

Performance detection
Turning the Arpeggio On/Off
If this is “ON,” the arpeggiator waits for you to play the keyboard; the
moment you play the keyboard, the arpeggio starts.
You can use PART settings to specify the parts for which the arpeggia-
tor will or will not turn on.
To stop the arpeggio, press this once again to turn the arpeggiator off.
Continuing the Arpeggio Even After
Releasing Your Hand (I-ARPEGGIO HOLD)
If the [HOLD] button is lit, the arpeggio continues playing even if you
take your hand off the keyboard after playing notes.
If the [HOLD] button is unlit, the arpeggio stops when you take your
hand off the keyboard.
* You can use PART settings to specify the parts for which HOLD will or will
not be on.
Selecting the Arpeggio Type
Here’s how to change the arpeggio settings for parts 1–4. Some
arpeggio types are heard only for one part, and other arpeggio types
play multiple parts as an ensemble.
Select the type that’s closest to the performance that you have in
mind, and edit the tones and parameters to customize the arpeggio.
1. Turn the [TYPE] knob to change the setting.
* With the factory settings, changing the type will specify a suitable sound
(TONE) and volume (PART LEVEL). If you want to keep the current tone
settings and change only the phrase, set the SYSTEM parameter Arpeggio
Set Tone to the OFF setting.
Selecting the Type of Rhythm
Here’s how to change the phrase that’s played by the rhythm part (part
5).
Select a rhythm that’s closest to what you have in mind, and then
edit the tempo, drum kit, and other parameters to customize your
performance.
1. Turn the [RHYTHM] knob to change the setting.
* With the factory settings, changing the rhythm will also set a suitable
tempo (TEMPO), sound (DRUM KIT), and volume (PART LEVEL). If you
want to change only the phrase while keeping the current tempo and
sound settings, change the SYSTEM parameters Arpeggio Set Tempo and
Arpeggio Set DrumKit each to the OFF setting.
Changing the Arpeggio Tempo
Here’s how to set the tempo of the arpeggio. For some sounds, the
tempo of the LFO or DELAY is also synchronized.
1. Turn the [TEMPO] knob to change the setting.
Automatically Changing the Arpeggio
(PLAY DETECTOR)
PLAY DETECTOR lets you change in real time whether your keyboard
performance is detected.
* If both KEYS and BEAT are“OFF,” the current loop performance is repeated.
This is convenient when you want to continue performing for a while with
the same accompaniment.
Changing the arpeggio according to the harmony you play (KEYS)
You can specify whether the pitch of the arpeggiated notes changes
according to the pitches that you play on the keyboard.
* If you want to layer the sound of your keyboard performance without
changing the chord, turn KEYS“OFF.”
Changing the arpeggio at the timing of your playing (BEAT)
You can specify whether the pattern will change according to the
rhythm inferred from the timing interval between the notes you play.
* The pitch of the notes you play on the keyboard is detected even if BEAT
is “OFF.” If you want to maintain the sense of beat while you play a chord
progression, turn BEAT “OFF.”
