Roland JUPITER-X Reference Manual

In addition to applying eects that modify the sound, the JUPITER-X
lets you use a variety of controllers to edit the tone itself.

OSC
Pitch information for the key you play is sent to the oscillator, and is
output as sound via the mixer, lter, and amp etc.
The change produced by each section can be modied using an LFO
or envelope.
What Each Section Does
OSC (Oscillator)
This section generates an audio waveform according to the pitch
information that is sent from the keyboard. The pitch is determined by
how rapidly the waveform repeats. Faster repetition (higher frequency)
means higher pitch, and slower repetition (lower frequency) means
lower pitch.
By applying an LFO to the OSC section, you can cyclically raise and
lower the pitch, producing a vibrato eect.
OSC SELECT
Selects the oscillator(s) that you will edit. By pressing two or
more OSC SELECT [1]–[4] buttons simultaneously, you can
select multiple oscillators for editing. The OSC units that can be
selected vary depending on the model.
By holding down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the OSC
SELECT [1]–[4] buttons, you can select the OSC units that
produce sound.
TYPE
Selects the oscillator waveform.
MOD
Adjusts the depth of modulation.
Pitch
Adjusts the pitch of the oscillator.
DETUNE
Finely adjusts the pitch of the oscillator.
FILTER
Although the oscillator generates a sound at a specic frequency, this
sound contains numerous harmonics.
The lter lets you modify the brightness of the sound by selectively
reducing these harmonics or boosting them in the region of the cuto
frequency.
By applying an LFO to the FILTER section, you can cyclically raise or
lower the cuto frequency, producing a wah eect.
HPF
Species the cuto frequency of the high-pass lter.
KEY FOLLOW
Varies the lter’s cuto frequency according to the position of
the key.
Higher values of this setting cause the cuto frequency to
increase as you play higher on the keyboard, and lower values
cause the cuto frequency to decrease as you play higher.
CUTOFF
Species the cuto frequency.
TYPE
Species the type of lter.
RESONANCE
Species the amount by which the region of the lter’s cuto
frequency is boosted.
VINTAGE FILTER
Species the type of lter if a tone of a vintage-type model is
selected.
AMP
The amp section contains parameters that control the volume.
In addition to these parameters, you can also assign a controller to
PART FADE and control the volume of two parts simultaneously.
& “Parameter Guide” (PDF)
By applying an LFO to the AMP section, you can cyclically raise and
lower the volume, producing a tremolo eect.
LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
Like the OSC section, the LFO section generates a waveform at a
specied frequency. The shape of this waveform controls the section
to which the LFO is applied.
MEMO
The LFO waveform can be seen in the SCENE TOP screen or the
MODEL BANK TOP screen.
ENVELOPE
Each time you press a key, a time-based change is applied to the OSC,
FILTER, and AMP sections for each individual note.
This shape of this time-based change is called the “envelope.”
MEMO
The envelope can be seen in the SCENE TOP screen or the
MODEL BANK TOP screen.
