Introduction
When using the JUPITER-4 for the rst time, you must specify the MIDI Input/Output setting in
the Setup window (p. 14).
For details on the settings for the DAW software that you’re using, refer to the DAW’s help or
manuals.

This screen is designed to look like the
JUPITER-4. You can set the detailed
parameters on this screen.
Keyboard area
Click on the keys to hear the sound. The corresponding keys react when MIDI
messages are received.
The velocity changes depending on where you click the keys.
Click the keys up higher (closer to the control panel) for lower velocities down
to the minimum, and click the keys down lower (further away from the control
panel) for higher velocities up to the maximum.
Use the mouse wheel to shift the keyboard octave.
[CONDITION] knob
This simulates the slight degradation of the analog sound generator circuit over the passage of several decades, which might occur on the
original JUPITER-4 model.
With this condition as the zero point, you can increase the value to simulate even more degradation for a warmer, more imprecise sound
that’s characteristic of analog circuitry; or you can decrease the value to simulate a more ideal sound with less degradation over time.

This is suitable for arpeggios.
POLY 2: One voice plays per key press.
This is suitable for portamento.

OCTAVE Shifts the pitch of the keyboard in units of one
octave.
KEY HOLD Turns the hold function on/off for the notes you
press within the keyboard area.

By connecting the SYSTEM-8 to your computer (Mac/Windows), you can use the JUPITER-4 in
conjunction with the SYSTEM-8.
The “SYSTEM-8 CTRL” shown as a MIDI port is the port used by the JUPITER-4.
Do not use this port from your DAW.
Plug-Out
What is a “Plug-out”?
“Plug-out” is technology that allows a software synthesizer such
as JUPITER-4 to be installed and used in the SYSTEM-8.
5You can play the JUPITER-4 on the SYSTEM-8 by itself,
without using a computer.
5You can send the settings of the selected bank to the
SYSTEM-8.
5You can use the knobs and sliders of the SYSTEM-8 to edit the
sound.
Plug-Out Procedure
1. Click the [PLUG-OUT] button.
2. Select a plug-out destination (PLUG-OUT1–PLUG-OUT3) that corresponds to the
desired MODEL button of the SYSTEM-8.
A conrmation message appears.
3. Click the [OK] button.
A progress bar appears, and plug-out processing begins. This takes approximately one minute.
* If the JUPITER-4 is already plugged-out to one of the plug-out destinations (PLUG-OUT1–
PLUG-OUT3), you can’t plug-out a new instance.
* If another software synthesizer is already plugged-out on the SYSTEM-8, a conrmation
message appears. Click the [OK] button to continue.
Send/Get Temporary Patch
1. Connect the SYSTEM-8 to your computer.
2. Turn on the SYSTEM-8’s MODEL [PLUGOUT 1–3] button to which you plugged-out
the JUPITER-4.
* In order to send or get a temporary patch, you must rst plug-out (p. 12).
* The contents of RATING and NOTES are not sent or received.
Sending the Temporary Patch
You can send the current JUPITER-4 temporary patch to the SYSTEM-8 and play it on the
SYSTEM-8.
The sound is output from the SYSTEM-8’s OUTPUT jacks.
3. Click the [SEND] button of the JUPITER-4.
The temporary patch is transmitted.
Getting the Temporary Patch
If you’ve used the SYSTEM-8 to edit a temporary patch of the plugged-out JUPITER-4, here’s
how to load that temporary patch into the JUPITER-4.
4. Click the [GET] button of the JUPITER-4.
The temporary patch is loaded.

MIDI Learn Function
Here’s how to associate a MIDI control change with a sound parameter, so that the parameter
can be controlled by that MIDI message.
Procedure
1. Right-click the sound parameter controller (knob or slider).
2. Choose “Learn MIDI CC”.
3. Operate your external MIDI device to transmit a control change message.
NOTE
You can’t associate more than one MIDI control change with a single controller. Only the
most recent setting is used.
Cancelling
1. Right-click the sound parameter controller (knob or slider).
2. Choose “Forget MIDI CC”.
