Installing the Batteries
Eight Ni-MH batteries (AA, HR6) are required to run the JUPITER-Xm on
battery power.
With these batteries you can expect about 3.5 hours of continuous
operation, although this depends on how the JUPITER-Xm is being used.
* When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the buttons and knobs
from damage. Also, handle the unit carefully; do not drop it.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and uid leakage. Make
sure that you carefully observe all of the items related to batteries that are listed
in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (leaet “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” and Owner’s manual).
1. Turn o the power of the JUPITER-Xm.
2. While pressing inward on the tabs of the bottom panel
battery compartment cover, remove the cover.
3. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment, taking
care to observe the “+” and “–” polarity.
Be sure that the “+” and “-” markings on the batteries are oriented
correctly.
4. Close the battery compartment cover.

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-Xm 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-Xm is equipped with numerous models, meaning that a single JUPITER-Xm 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 5 you can select a drum kit tone.
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”.
11
Reference Manual Ver. 3.0 and later
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-Xm.
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.
Interface
This section lets you input/output MIDI, and transfer audio and MIDI data to and from another device that’s connected via Bluetooth or USB. If you
connect a USB ash drive to the rear panel, you can use it to save or load scene and tone data.

arpeggio is sounded.
You can specify whether the arpeggio is
sounded in the octave(s) above (+) or below
(-) the notes you play.
Species the range that is detected for
arpeggio performance. Pressing a key
outside the specied range does not aect
the arpeggio function.
4. To save the settings, save as described in “Saving a Scene”
(p. 14).
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-Xm. When not using the mic for all other model banks besides
VOCODER, set “Mic Thru” to “OFF”.
* VOCODER models can be selected only for part 1.
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.
1. Press the [MENU] button.
2. Use the [1] knob to select “KEY RANGE SETTINGS”, and then

Adjusting the Mic Settings
Depending 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.

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.
Performing with a Connected Computer or Other External Device
You can connect a computer and use a plug-in synth in combination with
