Problems with the Synthesizer eects
Eect not applied
Could the eect switch be o? Check the on/o setting of each eect. p. 58
Is each layer’s Output Assign set to “MFX”?
With the factory settings, the Output Assign of some are not set to
“MFX.” Set the Output Assign to “MFX.”
p. 75
Check the send level to each eect.
The eect won’t be obtained if the send level to that eect is set
at 0. Even if the send levels to the eect is set above 0, the eect
won’t be applied if the multi-eect output level, or reverb level are
set to 0. Check each of these settings.
p. 59
You specied a delay time
value (for example for multi
eect 43: DELAY) as a note
value, but there’s a limit
beyond which the delay
time will not change
Check the delay time setting.
Increase the tempo.
Since the delay time has an upper limit, specifying the delay time
as a note value and then slowing down the tempo may reach this
upper limit. The maximum delay time is the highest value that can
be specied numerically (i.e., other than in terms of a note value).
p. 47
Problems with the USB Memory Song Player/Recorder
USB ash drive is not
detected / Song les are
not displayed
Check the format of your USB ash drive.
Format the USB ash drive on the JUPITER-50.
The JUPITER-50 can use USB ash drive that is formatted as FAT.
(Normally, when you purchase USB ash drive, it will be formatted
as FAT, so you can start using it immediately.) However, the
JUPITER-50 cannot recognize a USB ash drive that is formatted in
a format other than FAT (e.g., NTFS).
p. 70
Audio les on USB ash
drive won’t play
The audio le’s le type might not be a le type that can be
played on the JUPITER-50.
Use an audio le of the types listed in “Song les that can be
played”.
p. 65
The audio le may be damaged. Check the audio le. —
Could the level be turned down?
Check the [VOLUME] knob setting, the Song Level setting and the
SONG EQ’s Level setting.
p. 26, p. 64,
p. 75
Noise and distortion is
heard in the recorded
sound
Was the input sensitivity appropriate?
If the input sensitivity is too high, the recorded sound will be
distorted; if the input sensitivity is too low, the recorded sound
will be buried in noise.
Raise the Recording Level knob as high as possible without
causing the level meter’s CLIP indicator to light in red.
p. 68
Problems with external MIDI devices
No sound from an external
MIDI device
Does the JUPITER-50’s MIDI transmit channel match the
connected device’s MIDI receive channel?
Match the JUPITER-50’s transmit channel and your connected
device’s receive channel.
p. 77
Exclusive messages are not
received
Does the transmitting unit’s Device ID number match the
JUPITER-50’s Device ID number?
Set the Device ID numbers. p. 77
When using sequencer
software, operating knobs
or other controls does not
aect the sound
Some sequencer software does not “soft thru” system exclusive
messages.
If you want to record system exclusive messages, turn on the Local
Switch parameter.
p. 75, p. 86
Problems with an external device you’re recording
The volume level of the
instrument connected to
AUDIO IN (STEREO) is too
low.
Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor? Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor. —
Is the volume of the external device adjusted correctly? Adjust the volume of your external device to an appropriate level. —
Is the [LEVEL] knob adjusted correctly? Adjust the [LEVEL] knob. p. 28
Problems with the USB ash drive
Data on the USB ash drive
was damaged
Could you have turned o the power while the USB song
player/recorder was operating?
Format the USB ash drive on the JUPITER-50. p. 70
Could a strong physical shock have been applied to the USB
ash drive?
Could the power have been turned o while accessing the USB
ash drive?
Can’t back up to USB ash
drive
Is there sucient free space on the USB ash drive? Use an SD card that has sucient free space. p. 78
Check the format of the USB ash drive. The JUPITER-50 can use
