Varying the arpeggio automatically
(PLAY DETECTOR)
Play Detector is a function that detects your keyboard playing and
varies the arpeggio in real time.
* If both KEYS and BEAT are turned “OFF,” the current loop performance will
repeat. This is useful when you want to continue playing for a while with the
same accompaniment.
Varying the arpeggio according to the
harmony you play
(KEYS)
You can specify whether the chord of the arpeggio will vary according
to the chords that you play on the keyboard.
* If you want to layer your keyboard performance without changing the chord,
turn KEYS o.
Varying the arpeggio according to the timing
of your performance
(BEAT)
You can specify whether the pattern will change according to a rhythm
that is estimated from the interval between the notes you play.
* Even if BEAT is o, the keyboard pitches are detected. If you want to maintain
the sense of beat while you play a chord progression, turn BEAT o.
Using the Step Edit Function
The JUPITER-Xm lets you edit arpeggio performance data using the TR-REC
input method.
What is TR-REC?
TR-REC is a method in which you use the [1]–[16] buttons to
specify the timing at which each key plays a note.
You can use it while listening to a rhythm that you yourself created.
For example to create the drum pattern shown in gure 1, you
would make the settings shown in gure 2.

gure 1
gure 2
When pressing a key of its corresponding note that you want to
edit, the [1]–[16] buttons light or go dark to indicate the steps on
which that instrument will sound.
Pressing one of the [1]–[16] buttons switches it between lit and
unlit, changing whether the instrument will or will not sound on
that step.
Editing Each Step of the Arpeggio
Performance
(STEP EDIT)
The arpeggio performance is always recorded inside this unit. If you like
the performance, you can use the STEP EDIT function to extract and edit it.
The edited pattern can be used as a user pattern for the arpeggiator, or
used in your computer as MIDI data.
You can also create a user pattern from a blank state without using
recorded data.
1. Press the [STEP EDIT] button.
The arpeggio stops playing, and the STEP EDIT screen appears.
* An empty STEP EDIT screen appears right after you press the [STEP EDIT]
button.
2. Set the part to edit.
Press the [PART] button and then press the [1]–[5] buttons to select the
part that you want to edit (the current part).
3. Press the [MENU] button.
The MENU screen for arpeggio play appears. Here you can congure
the basic settings for creating patterns, or copy existing patterns.
