• You must be connected to a JUPITER-X or JUPITER-Xm using the MIDI configuration on the initial screen in order to use the Editor.

How the Screens Are Organized

The editor is organized into three main screens. You can switch between the screens by clicking on the three buttons on the top left on the menu bar:

NOTE
After you have completed the changes you want to make in the editor, it is important that you write to memory on your device. If you do not do this, you will lose changes you have made when you turn off your device.

SCENE BUILDER screen
A streamlined way to audition SCENES, swap in new TONES, and adjust commonly used parameters and performance settings

LIBRARIAN screen

• Used for assembling and managing TONES or SCENE BANKS or auditioning and assembling SCENES.
• The SCENES and TONES grids display what is loaded into memory on your device.

SCENE EDITOR screen
Used to dive deep into editing parameters of individual SCENES

TONE EDITOR screen (Zen-Core)
This is the Editor for Zen-Core Tones. Used to dive deep into editing parameters of individual TONES.

TONE EDITOR screen (models)
Tones using other models such as the JUPITER-8 or SH-101 have their own custom editors. This is the JUPITER-8 model for example.

Vocal Designer Model Expansion Screen

Once you install the Vocal Designer Model Expansion on the JUPITER-X, you can operate the Vocal Designer parameters from the JUPITER-X Editor.

• You can download the Vocal Designer Model Expansion via Roland Cloud Manager (available for purchase).

Checking the Carrier Tone and Playing the Carrier Tone as-is
With the “Carrier Type: Custom” setting, when the following screen is shown on the JUPITER-X’s display and you click the [Carrier Thru] button, the carrier tone plays as-is without going through the Vocal Designer.

• VD SETTINGS screen
• SELECT TONE screen
• TONE COMMON EDIT screen
• TONE EDIT PARTIAL screen
• TONE MFX screen

Selecting a Custom Tone
With the “Carrier Type: Custom” setting, when you drag and drop (copy) a desired tone from the SCENE BUILDER or LIBRARIAN screen to a Vocal Designer model tone, you can use that tone as a custom tone.

• For the copy source tone, you can select from the tones in PR-A through PR-D, JP-X INT, COMMON, installed EXZ and the Z-Core tones saved in USER.
• When dragging and dropping, drop the tones into the bottom of the copy destination box.
• When you drag and drop a tone, all the parameters of the copy source tone except the MFX are copied to the custom tone (no link is created to the copy source tone).

Backup/Restore

• Clicking the top left drop down menu will allow you to select the “Backup JUPITER-X” function. This will transfer all of the Tone and Scene banks from your device and allow you to save them to a file on your computer.
• Please note that this is a lot of data and will take a few minutes.
• To restore your device from a backup file, select “Restore JUPITER-X” from the top left drop down menu and select the back up file on your computer. Alternatively, drag the Backup file into the scene/tone area on the librarian page.
  NOTE
  This will replace all the Tone and Scene data on your device.
