recording a sequence. Even if the sequencer is not recording the system exclusive messages, it still takes
up MIDI bus time and will cause the continuous controller timing to be sloppy.

Disable system exclusive transmission by pressing and holding the TAPE

button, and press C

until it is

blinking, and rerecord the sequence. Either that, or eliminate all system exclusive messages in the
recorded sequence.

Europa requires that there be 70 milliseconds of delay between each system exclusive message that stores
a patch or preset in the Jupiter 6. This is a requirement due to the hardware putting the processor to sleep
when writing to internal flash.

The best way to help eliminate incomplete restores is to follow the instructions in the “Save

sections. This clearly outlines how to reliably save and restore patches, presets, and board state.

If patches/presets are not being restored properly, check the following:

• Was the saved patch/preset sequence played back at the same tempo it was recorded? If not, restore

it to the original tempo and try again. Europa dumps patches and presets with the delays needed for
successful restoration, so they will be recorded

• Are the start and end markers in the sequencer playing the entire system exclusive sequences

recorded? Double check it!

• If a dedicated system exclusive recorder was used instead, make sure the sequencing package can

place delays between system exclusive messages, and verify that there is at least 70 milliseconds of
delay between each message. The actual MIDI bytes do not have to be paced – only a delay between
entire system exclusive messages is necessary

I hear unplayed or missing notes in my arpeggiations

I hear unplayed or missing notes in my arpeggiations
There can be a variety of reasons for missing or skipped notes within an arpeggiation, and it is important
to find the root cause of the missing note(s):

• Verify first that the rhythm itself is not missing any beats. Do this by pressing and holding the

RANGE

button, and observe the PATCH PRESET

PATCH PRESET

, A

A----F

, 1

and MANU

MANUAL

buttons. Are any of

the LEDs on those buttons blinking? If so, and it is not desired, press the missing beats until the LED
no longer blinks. Setting the rhythm is described in the “Programming

” section

• Is the range going beyond the Jupiter 6’s note range capability or beyond MIDI note number 127

entirely? This is very easy to do by setting the range to 4 and pressing the top note of the Jupiter 6.
Notes that go beyond the Jupiter 6’s note range capability become a rest. If the note range is beyond
the Jupiter 6’s capability but still within the MIDI note range of 0-127, that note will still be
transmitted even though the Jupiter 6 will not sound. If the arpeggiated note is beyond note 127, no
note will be played, and it will act like a rest for that step

• Is the rest note enabled? As a temporary check, disable it by pressing and holding the UP

button and

checking the F

LED. If it is enabled (steady LED), press the F button until it blinks. This will disable

the rest note. If this is the source of the problem, change the rest note (described in the “Setting

” section), rerecord the sequence, or press and hold notes that do not contain the rest

note
