JUPITER-8
Parameter Value Explanation
LFO RATE 0–1023 Specifies the rate of the LFO cycle.
Adjusts the time from when the key is pressed
LFO DELAY TIME
0–1023
until the LFO starts to apply modulation.
SINE,
SAW-DW,
LFO WAVEFORM Selects the waveform of the LFO.
SQR,
S&H
Adjusts the depth at which the LFO modulates
LFO MOD 0–100
the OSC.
Adjusts the depth at which the LFO modulates
PIT ENV DEPTH -100–+100
the ENV1.
OSC1,
Selects the OSC that is modulated by LFO
DEST SELECT BOTH,
MOD.
OSC2
PW MODE = MANUAL
PULSE WIDTH
0–127
MOD
PW MODE = LFO/ENV
Specifies the pulse width mode.
LFO The pulse width is changed by the LFO.
PW MODE
The pulse width is changed by PULSE WIDTH
MANUAL
MOD.
ENV The pulse width is changed by the ENV1.
Uses the OSC2 waveform to change the
frequency of OSC1. Higher values cause the
CROSS MOD 0–10800
sound of OSC1 to be more complex, allowing
you to create metallic sounds or sound effects.
OSC1 RANGE
16' , 8' , 4' , 2' Specifies the octave of OSC1.
TRI,
SAW, Selects the waveform that is the basis of the
OSC1 WAVEFORM
PW, OSC1 sound.
SQR
This is oscillator sync. It produces a complex
waveform by forcibly resetting OSC1 to the
SYNC SWITCH OFF, ON
beginning of its cycle in synchronization with
the cycle of OSC2.
Selects whether OSC2 operates as NORMAL (in
NORMAL,
OSC2 MODE the audible frequency range) or as LFO (in the
LOW FREQ
low frequency range).
Specifies the octave when OSC2 MODE is set
LOW FREQ
0–127
to LOW FREQ.
OSC2 RANGE -12–+24 Specifies the octave of OSC2.
Specifies a fine adjustment to the pitch of
OSC2 FINE TUNE
-50–+50
OSC2.
SINE,
SAW, Selects the waveform that is the basis of the
OSC2 WAVEFORM
PW, OSC2 sound.
NOISE
OSC1 LEVEL
0–255 Adjusts the volume balance of OSC1.
OSC2 LEVEL
0–255 Adjusts the volume balance of OSC2.
Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the high-pass
HPF 0–1023
filter.
Selects one of three response curves, each
VINTAGE FLT TYPE
JP, M, S modeling the LPF of an analog synthesizer of
the past.
Specifies the cutoff frequency of the low-pass
filter. The frequency region above the cutoff
CUTOFF
0–1023
frequency is cut, producing a more mellow
tonal character.
Boosts the region of the filter's cutoff
frequency. Higher values produce a stronger
RESONANCE 0–1023
result, giving the sound a distinctively
synthesizer-like character.
FILTER SLOPE -12dB, -24dB Selects the type of slope for the low-pass filter.
Adjusts the amount by which the cutoff
FLT ENV DEPTH -1023–+1023
frequency is controlled by the envelope.
Selects the envelope that is used to control
FLT ENV MODE
ENV1, ENV2
the cutoff frequency.
