Europa adds several features to the Arpeggiator that can cause the Arpeggiator to not start or step.

• Is the clock source set properly? Press the DOWN

button for at least one second and hold it. Look at

the A

, B

, and C

LEDs in the BANK

group of buttons (only one of the LEDs will be lit):

- Internal clock (rate adjustable by the RATE knob in the arpeggio section). is the RATE

RATE

something other than 0? Try turning the RATE knob to mid scale

B

- External clock. Verify that there is a cable plugged in to the “Arpeggio clock in

Arpeggio clock in

” jack on the

back of the Jupiter 6 and that the master clocking device is generating one pulse per step

C

- MIDI Clock. Is the MIDI clock source transmitting MIDI clock? Note that most sequencers have

MIDI clock transmission turned off by default. Consult the documentation for the sequencer being
used

• Is a sequence arpeggio mode selected with no recorded sequence? A sequence arpeggio mode with

an empty sequence will produce no notes. Either record a sequence or unset an arpeggiator sequence
mode (described in “

“

• Is a blank rhythm set? Double check it by pressing and holding the RANGE

button and ensuring

that at least some of the PATCH PRESET

programmed, the arpeggiator will not step

• Is a combination of the rate being set very low and the divider/multiplier being set to a large divider?

If clocked internally, try setting the RATE

knob to about midrange (5), and set the divider to 1X as

documented in the Multiplier/divider

Ensure the sequencer being used is not looping back notes. If it is, either set the sequencer to not do MIDI
loopback or shut local mode on the Jupiter 6 off (press and hold TAPE

and press A

until it blinks). This

is not a problem with Europa, rather one that can be noticed with Europa due to voice watch.

Check the sequencer and ensure that continuous controllers and/or system exclusive messages are not
filtered out. By default, most sequencers fill filter out (drop) all system exclusive messages during
recording. It must be manually enabled. Check with the sequencer documentation to verify that system
exclusive messages will be recorded.

Assuming the sequencer is properly set to record system exclusive and/or continuous controller
messages, press and hold the TAPE

TAPE

button on the Jupiter 6. Verify that B

is lit solid. This indicates that

continuous controllers will be transmitted on knob, slider, and button changes. If system exclusive
recording is desired, verify that C

is lit solid.

NOTE: System exclusive messages should not be used for recording or performance purposes. The
messages themselves are significantly larger than continuous controller messages and can induce sloppy
MIDI timing. Instead, record continuous controller messages.
