Catg CATEGORY Selects the tone’s category.
TONE 
JUPITER-8 
Parameter Value Explanation CC#
LFO RATE 0–1023 Species the rate of the LFO cycle. 29
LFO DELAY TIME 0–1023
Adjusts the time from when the key is pressed 
until the LFO starts to apply modulation.
27
LFO WAVEFORM
SINE,
SAW-DW,
SQR,
S&H
Selects the waveform of the LFO.
LFO MOD 0–100
Adjusts the depth at which the LFO modulates 
the OSC.
26
PIT ENV DEPTH -100–+100
Adjusts the depth at which the LFO modulates 
the ENV1.
22
DEST SELECT
OSC1,
BOTH,
OSC2
Selects the OSC that is modulated by LFO 
MOD.
PULSE WIDTH 
MOD
0–127
PW MODE = MANUAL
Adjusts the pulse 
width.
50
PW MODE = LFO/ENV
Adjusts the 
modulation depth.
PW MODE
Species the pulse width mode.
LFO The pulse width is changed by the LFO.
MANUAL
The pulse width is changed by PULSE WIDTH 
MOD.
ENV The pulse width is changed by the ENV1.
CROSS MOD 0–10800
Uses the OSC2 waveform to change the 
frequency of OSC1. Higher values cause the 
sound of OSC1 to be more complex, allowing 
you to create metallic sounds or sound eects.
OSC1 RANGE 16’, 8’, 4’, 2’ Species the octave of OSC1. 47
OSC1 WAVEFORM
TRI,
SAW,
PW,
SQR
Selects the waveform that is the basis of the 
OSC1 sound.
SYNC SWITCH OFF, ON
This is oscillator sync. It produces a complex 
waveform by forcibly resetting OSC1 to the 
beginning of its cycle in synchronization with 
the cycle of OSC2.
OSC2 MODE
NORMAL,
LOW FREQ
Selects whether OSC2 operates as NORMAL (in 
the audible frequency range) or as LFO (in the 
low frequency range).
111
LOW FREQ 0–127
Species the octave when OSC2 MODE is set 
to LOW FREQ.
OSC2 RANGE -12–+24 Species the octave of OSC2. 62
OSC2 FINE TUNE -50–+50
Species a ne adjustment to the pitch of 
OSC2.
56
OSC2 WAVEFORM
SINE,
SAW,
PW,
NOISE
Selects the waveform that is the basis of the 
OSC2 sound.
OSC1 LEVEL 0–255 Adjusts the volume balance of OSC1. 16
OSC2 LEVEL 0–255 Adjusts the volume balance of OSC2. 17
HPF 0–1023
Adjusts the cuto frequency of the high-pass 
lter.
79
VINTAGE FLT TYPE JP, M, S
Selects one of three response curves, each 
modeling the LPF of an analog synthesizer of 
the past.
108
CUTOFF 0–1023
Species the cuto frequency of the low-pass 
lter. The frequency region above the cuto 
frequency is cut, producing a more mellow 
tonal character.
3
RESONANCE 0–1023
Boosts the region of the lter’s cuto 
frequency. Higher values produce a stronger 
result, giving the sound a distinctively 
synthesizer-like character.
9
FILTER SLOPE -12dB, -24dB Selects the type of slope for the low-pass lter.
FLT ENV DEPTH -1023–+1023
Adjusts the amount by which the cuto 
frequency is controlled by the envelope.
81
FLT ENV MODE ENV1, ENV2
Selects the envelope that is used to control 
the cuto frequency.
