Model
A "model" is a sound engine that reproduces a specific vintage unit or
a sound engine that is optimized for specific functionality.
For example, there is a model that reproduces the vintage JUPITER-8 synthesizer.
Each model is equipped with different unique parameters and effects, and the effect of
operating the knobs and other controllers will also differ. This means that you can use a
single JUPITER-Xm unit as if you owned a variety of units.
There is a model that reproduces the vintage JUPITER-8 and JUNO-106 synthesizer.
You can create tones for each model.
Tone
The sound assigned to a part is called a "tone. "
For each tone you can make settings such as oscillator, filter, and effects (MFX). The
structure and effects of a tone differ depending on the sound engine (model).
Part
To each of the five parts, you can assign a sound (tone), and specify
pan and EQ settings.
You can assign a tone to each part and play it.
There are five parts. You can assign a synthesizer tone to each part 1–4, and a rhythm
tone to part 5.
Certain sound engines (models) can be assigned only to part 1.

Scene
Settings for all parts, the I-ARPEGGIO settings, and the scene effect
settings are all saved together as a "scene. "
A scene stores the entire state of your favorite performance settings, including settings
for each part (such as tone number, pan, and volume), settings common to all parts
(such as reverb, delay, and chorus), and sequence data for each part.
It is convenient to save your settings beforehand as scenes, and then switch between
these scenes while you perform.
You can save a total of 256 scenes, which are organized as 16 scenes × 16 banks.
I-Arpeggio
Based on an analysis of your keyboard performance, this plays an
optimal arpeggio pattern using multiple parts.
Simply by selecting a TYPE and RHYTHM, you can use I-ARPEGGIO with a wide variety
of settings.
When thinking of ideas for a song, you can change the settings while trying out
various keyboard performances; when you find a good phrase use the STEP EDIT
function to capture and edit it, then import it as MIDI data into the DAW on your
computer.
