JUPITER-Xm Version 1.10 Supplementary Manual
This manual explains the functions that were added in JUPITER-Xm version 1.10.
Read this in conjunction with the JUPITER-Xm Owner’s Manual and Reference Manual (PDF).
ZEN-Core Tone Import Function Added
Tones that you download or tones that you exported from another
unit can be imported into the JUPITER-Xm as added tones.
Saving Tones to a USB Flash Drive
1. By downloading it or by using the export function of
another unit, obtain an SVZ file containing the tones
that you want to import into the JUPITER-Xm.
2. Save the SVZ file in the ROLAND/SOUND folder of the
USB flash drive.
* If you’re using the USB flash drive for the first time, format it
using the JUPITER-Xm.
&“Formatting a USB Flash Drive”(Owner’s Manual)
3. Disconnect the USB flash drive, and connect it to the
JUPITER-Xm.
Importing Tones into the JUPITER-Xm
1. Press the [MENU] button.
2. Use the [1] knob to select “UTILITY,” and then press the
[ENTER] button.
You can also make this selection by using the PAGE [ ] [ ]
buttons instead of the [1] knob.
3. Use the [1] knob to select “IMPORT TONE,” and then
press the [ENTER] button.
4. Use the [1] knob to select the file that contains the tone(s)
that you want to import, and then press the PAGE [>]
button.
The number of tones saved in the file is shown in parentheses.
5. Use the [1] knob to select the tone that you want to
import, and then use the [2] knob to add a check mark.
To select or de-select all tones, hold down the [SHIFT] button
and operate the [2] knob.
To select or de-select a specific range of tones, press the
[ENTER] button at the beginning of the range; then at the
end of the range, hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the
[ENTER] button.
6. Press the PAGE [>] button.
7. Use the [1] knob to select the import-destination tone,
and then press the [ENTER] button to add a check mark.
NOTE
5An “ * ”is displayed for tones used in scene.
5Be aware that the import-destination tone you select will
be overwritten.
5If the import-destination has fewer tones than the
import-source, not all of the selected tones will be
imported. Add check marks so that the import-source
and import-destination have the same number of tones.
The number of tones is shown in the upper right of the
screen.
Number of import-destination/import-source tones
5If there is a tone named “INIT TONE,” it is automatically
selected as the import-destination tone (a check mark is
added automatically).
Even if it is an edited tone, it might be selected as an
import-destination tone if the tone name is“INIT TONE.”
If you want to keep that tone, clear the check mark.
8. Press the PAGE [>] button.
9. To execute, use the [2] knob to select “OK,” and then
press the [ENTER] button.

TR-REC Input Method Supported in STEP
EDIT Mode
What is TR-REC?
TR-REC is a method in which you use the [1]–[16] buttons to
specify the timing at which each key plays a note.
You can use it while listening to a rhythm that you yourself created.
For example to create the drum pattern shown in figure 1, you
would make the settings shown in figure 2.

Button lit
Button unlit
figure 1
figure 2
When pressing a key of its corresponding note that you want to
edit, the [1]–[16] buttons light or go dark to indicate the steps on
which that instrument will sound.
Pressing one of the [1]–[16] buttons switches it between lit and
unlit, changing whether the instrument will or will not sound on
that step.
1. Press the [STEP EDIT] button.
Arpeggio playback stops, and the STEP EDIT - COPY I-ARPEGGIO
screen appears.
2. Use the [2] knob to select the data that you want to edit,
and then press the [ENTER] button.
3. Press the key for which you want to enter a note.
4. Use the [1]–[16] buttons to illuminate each step at which
you want a note to sound.
5. To check the playback, use the [S3] button to play/stop.
If you want to change the number of steps, or the grid and
shuffle settings, you can edit these in the ARP PART EDIT screen.
If you want to change the tempo, use the [TEMPO] knob.
6. When you have finished editing, press the [EXIT] button.
To save the pattern data that you created, save the scene.
&“Saving a Scene” (Owner’s Manual)
When you exit STEP EDIT mode, the ARP PART EDIT Switch and
Step Mode are automatically turned“ON”for parts whose steps
you edited in STEP EDIT mode.
Instead of an arpeggio, you can immediately play the pattern
data that you created in STEP EDIT mode.

Parameters Added
SYSTEM Parameter
Parameter Value Explanation
AGING
Warm-Up OFF, ON, FAST,
FIXED
Specifies whether the character of the sound
(pitch variance) changes according to the
varying internal temperature of this unit.
This has an effect only on analog synthesizer
models.
The internal temperature value is shown
in the upper right of the top screen of the
scene.
OFF: The character of the sound is not
affected by the temperature. Nor is there a
temperature indication in the SCENE screen.
ON: The internal temperature starts at the
value specified by Aging Init Temp, and
changes to the actual temperature (REAL).
Although it depends on the temperature
difference, the REAL temperature is reached
in approximately ten minutes. After reaching
the REAL temperature, the setting follows
the actual temperature change.
FAST: The internal temperature starts at
the value specified by Aging Init Temp, and
then quickly (in approximately ten seconds)
changes to the actual temperature (REAL)
when you play the keyboard. After reaching
the REAL temperature, the setting follows
the actual temperature change.
FIXED: The internal temperature is fixed at
the value specified by Aging Init Temp, and
the character of the sound is maintained at
that point.
Init Temp
REAL,
0–60°C/
32–140°F
Specifies the initial internal temperature for
Aging.
REAL: The internal temperature that
is actually measured will be the initial
temperature.
0–60°C/ 32–140°F: Virtually specifies the
initial internal temperature (Centigrade/
Fahrenheit).
Age OFF,
1–100 years
Simulates the aging of an analog
synthesizer’s internal components.
Increasing this value changes the sound as
it would be on a unit that is a corresponding
number of years old. This is valid only for
sounds of an analog synthesizer model.
ARPEGGIO
Arp Sync (*1) OFF, BEAT,
MEASURE
Specifies the synchronization setting for
arpeggio performance when connected
to an external device and playing in
synchronization.
OFF: Does not synchronize to measures or
beats. Arpeggio performance starts at the
moment that MIDI messages are received.
BEAT: Synchronizes to beats. Arpeggio
performance starts at the next beat after
MIDI messages are received.
MEASURE: Synchronizes to measures.
Arpeggio performance starts at the first beat
of the next measure after MIDI messages are
received.
(*1) This is valid only if Sync Mode is“MIDI” or “USB.”

the current part and the Keyboard SW, so
that the selected part can be played from
the keyboard. By pressing multiple parts
simultaneously, you can turn Keyboard SW
on for multiple parts.
KeySw: Functions as the keyboard switch to
change the part played from the keyboard.
PartSw: Turns on/off the sound of each
part. This is useful for DJ-like performances
in which you turn each part’s sound on/off
while you perform.
ArpSw: Switches whether each part is played
by the arpeggio.
EfxSw: From the left button, turns MFX,
DRIVE, REV, DLY, and CHO respectively on/off
for all parameters simultaneously.
