Anleitung Zusammenfassung
The JP-8’s top quality, full function synthesizers, extensive programming section, and advanced keyboard control options, can either form the nucleus of any multi-keyboard set-up, or perform as a solo instrument to duplicate music in live performance that normally could not be produced without many instruments or multi track recording facilities. The Jupiter-8 has the DCB connector so that it can be controlled by an external device such as the MC-4 microcomposer. *You need to set up the interface OP-8 in this case.

Control Descriptions 3 Synthesizer Function JuPitei%8’s impressive sounds are created by its ^ eight two oscillator synthesizer systems. These syn- thesizers are controlled by single bank of controls that feature a logical left to right flow and mix sliders with rotary controls to provide the most readily available information and control. Highlights of each JP-8 synthesizers voice include: Two separate VCOs providing four waveform options each including precise sine, triangle, sawtooth, square, variable pulse, and noise waveforms. All sixteen oscillators are easily tuned in approximately three seconds and feature high stability to remain in tune even during long sessions under difficult conditions. A wide variety of modulation options include syncing and cross modulation between VCOs for control over an exceptionally wide variety of sound and tone color. Output of the VCOs passes through an infinitely variable source mixer and then on the the Filter sections. A seperate Hi Pass Filter can be combined with a voltage controlled Low Pass Filter that is selectable between a rich -24dB/octabe or a more acoustic -12dB/octabe cutoff slope. These choices combine with a wide variety of control options that give musicians maximum creative control over the tone color of their sund. Two complete four stage ADSR Envelope Generators feature slider controls for accurate visual information and control during programming and editing. Each envelope includes and exclusive Key Follow option allowing the Attack, Decay, and Release length to be shortened in proportion to the height of any pitch as they naturally do on many acoustic instruments including the piano. Envelope-1 also includes a switch for inverting its effect before being sent to the sections it will control. The VGA may be both Envelope and LFO controlled and terminates on the JP-8 back panel in a Stereo Headphone output, two balanced outputs, and three unbalanced outputs suitable for a wide variety of amplification applications. The Jupiter-8’s powerful programmer has the capacity to store and recall the exact synthesizer settings for up to sixty-four different patch programs. Patches may be stored virtually permanently using the JP-8’s Litium battery back-up system Writing into any patch position from the Manual control or another patch position requires only pressing two switches and the patch number desired. Patch selection simply requires punching in the actual two digit number needed which is then displayed in a large LED display window. NOTE: Be sure to replace every 3 years. Editing Any program in memory can be edited even during live performance by moving the desired control, simultaneously activating the Edit Indicators in the display window. Editing may be used as a sophisticated real time performance control since it does not automatically rewrite the existing program. An Edit may also be written into memory either as a modification of the old program or as a new program by pressing one button and the patch number desired. The Jupiter-8’s five octave keyboard can be grouped into three different Key Modes: Whole, Dual, and Split. The Whole Mode operates as one eight voice polyphonic instrument, while Dual and Split Modes divide the JP-8 into two four-voice instruments that may even be assigned different patches. Split Mode divides the keyboard into Lower and Upper sections while Dual Mode layers two patches from each keypress. Both modes offer multi keyboard capability from one in...
