Scene
Settings of all parts, scene eect settings, and I-Arpeggio settings can be stored together as a “scene”.
A scene lets you store the sequence data for each part, settings for each part (tone number, pan, volume, etc.), settings that are common to all parts (reverb, delay, chorus, etc.),
and favorite performance data.
By preparing several scenes in which you’ve stored your favorite settings, you can simultaneously change numerous settings simply by switching scenes.
The JUPITER-X can store 512 scenes.

Model
A “model” is a sound engine such as JUPITER-8 or JX-8P which reproduces the sound of a specic vintage synthesizer, or a sound engine
that has distinctive functionality.
The JUPITER-X is equipped with numerous models, meaning that a single JUPITER-X unit can be used as if you own a variety of dierent
synthesizers. Each model is equipped with distinctive parameters and eects, and you can use these to create tones that are unique to
those models.
Part
A “part” is a location to which you can recall a tone and save it together with settings such as pan and EQ.
Each scene has ve parts: for parts 1–4 you can select a synthesizer tone, and for PART R you can select a drum kit tone.
11
Reference Manual Ver. 3.0 and later
I-ARPEGGIO
This analyzes your keyboard performance, and plays multiple parts using appropriate arpeggio patterns.
As you play slowly or rapidly, this automatically switches arpeggio patterns based on your performance. By simply selecting a type and
rhythm, you can use a wide variety of arpeggio patterns.
You can create a song using the following workow: “Performing with I-Arpeggio” 0 “When you nd a phrase that you like, adjust it with
Step Edit” 0 Import it into your computer DAW as MIDI data”.
Tone
The sounds that you play from the keyboard are called “tones”. A tone consists of an oscillator (OSC) which creates the basis of the sound,
and a lter and eect (MFX) that modies that sound. The types of oscillator, lter, and eect dier depending on the model.
Category
Classications of instrument or types of sound, such as Ac.PIANO or Synth Lead, are called “categories”.
System
You can apply eects to the audio signal from the scene, and output the sound from an external device connected to the OUTPUT jacks or
the PHONES jack, or from the speakers that are built into the JUPITER-X.
The system settings let you edit the system eects. Unlike the scene eects, these parameters keep their settings even when you switch
scenes.
Controller
“Controllers” include the keyboard, the buttons, knobs, sliders on the panel, pitch bend and modulation, and a damper pedal etc.
connected to the rear panel. Performance data generated when you press or release a key or press the damper pedal is converted into
MIDI messages and sent to each part or to an external MIDI device.

Performing with a Connected Mic (Vocoder)
The “Vocoder” adds eects 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.
* For all other model banks besides VOCODER, the mic sound is output from
the JUPITER-X
By specifying the key range, a sound that you play or an arpeggio
performance can be restricted to a specic region of keys.
For example, you could specify that the left-hand region of the
keyboard plays only the bass part, so that an arpeggiated bass
continues without being aected by what you play in the right-hand
region of the keyboard. Alternatively, you could specify fades between
multiple parts to create gradations between sounds.
