KBD ([F3] button)
Parameter Value Explanation
Keyboard
Keyboard Velocity
Species the velocity transmitted when a key is played.
REAL
The transmitted velocity value will
correspond to the force with which you strike
the key.
1–127
The transmitted velocity value will be xed,
regardless of the force with which you strike
the key.
Keyboard Velocity
Curve
LIGHT
The keyboard will have a lighter-feeling
touch. Since you’ll be able to reach fortissimo
() without having to play as strongly as
with the MEDIUM setting, the keyboard will
feel lighter. This setting makes it easier for
people with reduced nger strength to play
the keyboard.
MEDIUM This is the standard keyboard touch setting.
HEAVY
The key will have a heavier-feeling touch.
Since you’ll need to play more strongly than
with the MEDIUM setting in order to reach
fortissimo (), the keyboard will feel heavier.
This setting allows you to use your playing
dynamics to add more expression to your
performances.
Keyboard Velocity
Sens
-63–+63
This is a ne adjustment to the keyboard
sensitivity that’s applied after the Keyboard
Velocity Curve setting. Higher values will
cause a greater velocity value to be transmit-
ted for a key-strike of the same force.
MIDI ([F4] button)
Parameter Value Explanation
MIDI
Device ID 17–32
If you want to send and receive system exclusive
messages, the device ID numbers of both devices
need to be matched.
Soft Thru OFF, ON
If this is “ON,” MIDI messages received at the MIDI
IN connector will be retransmitted without change
from the MIDI OUT connector.
Remote
Keyboard
Switch
OFF, ON
Turn this “ON” if you’re using an external MIDI
keyboard instead of the JUPITER-50’s keyboard.
In this case, the MIDI transmit channel of your
external MIDI keyboard does not matter. Normally,
this can be left at “OFF.”
* If you want to control the arpeggiator from an
external MIDI device, turn this “ON.”
USB MIDI
USB-MIDI Thru OFF, ON
If you’re using MIDI via a USB connection, this speci-
es whether the MIDI messages received at the
USB port/MIDI IN connector will be retransmitted
without change from the MIDI OUT connector/USB
port (ON) or will not be retransmitted (OFF).
MIDI Channel
Registration
Control
Channel
1–16, OFF
Species the MIDI receive channel on which
Registrations can be switched by an external MIDI
device. Turn this “OFF” if you don’t want to switch
Registrations from a connected MIDI device.
UPPER Part
Channel,
SOLO Part
Channel,
PERC/LOWER
Part Channel
1–16
Species the MIDI receive channel that will play
each of the JUPITER-50’s Parts (PREC, LOWER,
UPPER, SOLO), and the MIDI transmit channel on
which each Part will transmit to an external MIDI
device.

SYNC ([F5] button)
Parameter Value Explanation
Sync
Sync Mode
This selects the synchronization source used by the
JUPITER-50.
MASTER
The JUPITER-50 will be the synchronization
master. Choose this setting if you’re using the
JUPITER-50 on its own without synchronizing
it to another device, or if you want the tempo
of an external MIDI device to synchronize
with the JUPITER-50.
SLAVE
The JUPITER-50 will be the synchronization
slave. Choose this setting if you want the
JUPITER-50 to synchronize to MIDI clock
messages received from an external device.
Sync Output OFF, ON
If this is ON, MIDI clock messages will be
transmitted to an external MIDI device.
* These messages will not be transmitted if
the Sync Mode is “SLAVE.”
Clock Source
This species whether the JUPITER-50 will synchronize to
tempo data from the MIDI IN connector or to tempo data
from the USB connector when the Sync Mode is SLAVE.
MIDI
Synchronize to tempo data from the MIDI IN
connector.
USB
Synchronize to tempo data from the USB
COMPUTER port.
