This manual explains the functions that have been added in JUPITER-50.
Read this manual in conjunction with the JUPITER-50 Owner’s Manual.
Editing a Synth Tone
Synth tones are synthesizer-type SuperNATURAL sounds.
These tones allow you to freely create original sounds, as on
an analog synthesizer. One tone can produce the sound of
three synthesizers, each with an oscillator (OSC), lter (FILTER),
and amplier (AMP). The oscillator (OSC) provides not only
the waveforms of a standard analog synthesizer, but also PCM
waveforms.

MEMO
• It’s not possible to edit SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tones, Manual
Percussion, or Drums/SFX.
• To modify Synth tones from the Live Set, refer to “Editing the
Tones Assigned to a Layer (Tone Modify)” (Owner’s Manual; p.
60).
Tips for editing Synth Tones
Decide which layers you want to hear
Live Set consists of up to four tones. Editing will be easier if
you’re listening to only the layer with the Synth Tone that you
want to edit (turn its layer button on) (Owner's Manual; p. 58).
Turn the eect o
The Live Set may apply an eect to the layer, causing the
Synth Tone to sound dierent than it otherwise would. If you
turn o the eect, you’ll hear the actual sound of the Synth
Tone itself, and it will be easier to discern the results of your
editing (Owner's Manual; p. 58).
1. From the Menu screen (Owner’s Manual; p. 35) select
“Edit” “SynthTone (UPPER)” “Layer 1–4” (the tone you
want to edit).
The SYNTH EDIT screen will appear.
MEMO
• You can also access the SYNTH EDIT screen by positioning
the cursor at the Synth Tone that you want to edit in the Live
Set screen (Owner’s Manual; p. 36) and then pressing the [F4]
(MODIFY)
[F6] (SYN EDIT) buttons.
• You can access the SYNTH EDIT screen for individual layers by
holding down the [SHIFT] button while you press one of the
buttons below (shortcut).
