Performing

When you play the keyboard, you hear the sound of the part(s) that
you selected in ""Selecting the Parts to Perform"
The JUPITER-X lets you customize performance-related settings so that
you can perform in the way that's best for you.

Performing Arpeggios

To start arpeggio performance, make the I-ARPEGGIO
lit.
To stop arpeggio performance, press the button once again to make it
go dark.

Making Performance Settings

Using the Controllers

You can use the controllers of the controller section to quickly
operate the sound parameters or to modify the sound to create
excitement in your performance.
You can also assign functions to a footswitch or expression pedal,
and use it to switch scenes or turn the arpeggio on/off while you
perform.
To assign functions to controller, make settings in the system
parameters.

"List of functions that can be assigned to the controllers"
(p. 47)

Specifying the Key Range

By specifying the key range, a sound that you play or an arpeggio
performance can be restricted to a specific region of keys.
For example, you could specify that the left-hand region of the
keyboard plays only the bass part, so that an arpeggiated bass
continues without being affected by what you play in the right-hand
region of the keyboard. Alternatively, you could specify fades between
multiple parts to create gradations between sounds.
