02  About the JUPITER-50’s Sounds
The Structure of the JUPITER-50’s Sound Generator
The JUPITER-50’s sound generator consists of three parts, and settings for these three parts are collectively managed as a 
“registration.”

What is a Live Set?
The smallest unit of sound in the JUPITER-50’s sound generator is called a “Tone”; this consists of a SuperNATURAL sound.
A Live Set consists of up to four of these tones layered, producing the richly expressive sounds that you’ll mainly be playing 
on the JUPITER-50.
You can freely create and save Live Sets, and select them as the sound for the Upper Part.
What is a Registration?
In addition to the Upper Part, the JUPITER-50 lets you assign SuperNATURAL tones to a Percussion/Lower Part and to a Solo 
Part, allowing you to use sounds for a total of three parts.
The combination of sounds assigned to each part, along with the JUPITER-50’s settings, are collectively called a “registration.”
By calling up a registration, you can instantly switch sounds as appropriate for the song you’re playing, or switch setups for 
live performance or studio recording.
Selecting Favorite Sounds (Live Sets)
When you press the [MANUAL] button, only the Upper Part will be on, and a piano 
sound will be selected (with the factory settings).
At this time if you select a tone for the Solo Part or the Percussion/Lower Part, the 
selected part will automatically turn on, allowing you to layer the sounds.
MEMO
You can also use the [MANUAL] button to easily put the JUPITER-50 in a state in which only the Upper Part will sound. This button is 
convenient when you want to check the sound of a specic Live Set, or when you want to create a registration from scratch.
Now, try using the [MANUAL] button to audition the sounds of Live Sets.
