New feature summary

Circular oscillator sync

VCO 1 And VCO 2 can be synchronized to each other. Good for making interesting sounds.

Oscillators independently disableable

VCO 1 And VCO 2 oscillators can be completely disabled. This is to allow the creation of patches that use the resonant filter as the oscillator or for single oscillator patches – something not possible with the original Roland code even with the oscillator balance set to either extreme.

Additional hardware diagnostics

Europa includes additional hardware diagnostics on boot up that are valuable to both the Jupiter 6 owner and the repair technician.

Voice watch

Voice allocation can be monitored on the front panel. This is useful for gauging voice utilization during performance as well as assisting in debugging a malfunctioning Jupiter 6.

Patch edit compare

The patch edit compare feature allows comparing the current patch edit with any stored patch. This makes hunting for a good spot to put the new patch edit easy, and allows A/B comparisons to the current patch edit and any stored patch.

MIDI Activity monitor

Europa will blink the TUNE LED when MIDI data is being received. Great for debugging and knowing when activity is present!

Glide time and Unison detune stored separately for split modes

Europa’s preset format stores glide time and unison detune values – one for each SPLIT. The Roland code only allows a single detune and glide time in SPLIT mode.

Foot pedal adaptation

Europa allows either normally closed or normally open foot pedals to be used.

Assignable MIDI messages

Europa can assign incoming pitch bend, modulation wheel, channel aftertouch, and note velocity to any continuous controller. It will respond to incoming pitch bend messages as an assignable controller but will not alter the pitch of the notes played as a traditional pitch bend would. Incoming note velocity is changed on a per voice board basis and affects all held notes on a given SPLIT. Europa will not transmit pitch bend, key press velocity, or aftertouch.

Factory settings restoration

Europa can restore factory patches and presets, and will not malfunction if NVRAM becomes corrupt.

Local mode control

The Jupiter 6’s local keyboard can be enabled and disabled.
