Europa User Guide

Continuous Controller Transmit (B) – Default: Enabled

Enables or disables Europa from transmitting MIDI continuous controllers when knobs, sliders, or buttons are pressed on the Jupiter 6’s front panel. Continuous controllers are intended for use in sequences due to the shortness of the associated MIDI messages. For patch based continuous controllers, parameters will only be changed on the voice boards and not the patch edit. For preset based continuous controllers, parameters will be changed in both the preset edit and the voice boards. The continuous controller’s meanings are documented in the Europa MIDI Implementation chapter.

System Exclusive Transmit (C) – Default: Disabled

Enables or disables Europa from transmitting MIDI system exclusive messages when knobs, sliders, or buttons are pressed on the Jupiter 6’s front panel. System exclusive messages are designed for patch editors/librarians rather than performance due to the length of the system exclusive message. When played back to Europa, system exclusive messages will cause the current edit buffer to be changed as well as the affected voice board (if applicable) – just as if it was being changed from the front panel. The continuous controller’s meanings are documented in the Europa MIDI Implementation chapter.

Velocity Transmit (D) – Default: Disabled

Enables or disables the velocity transmit function. When velocity transmit is enabled, moving the VCA ENV-2 LEVEL slider will no longer alter the ENV-2 LEVEL, but instead will change the note on velocity for each note transmitted. When this feature is disabled, Europa will transmit a note on velocity of 70h. Velocity transmit is particularly useful for externally controlling a device while the arpeggiator is running.

Voice watch (E) – Default: Disabled

Enables or disables the ability of watching which voices are being allocated. When enabled, the BANK A-FLEDs indicate which voices are allocated when notes are played via the local keyboard or from MIDI. Normally the BANK LEDs show which patch or preset bank is currently selected. When voice watch is enabled, pressing any button on the front panel will temporarily cause voice watch to shut off and the current bank to be shown instead. After one second with no other button presses, it will revert to voice watch mode and the meaning of the BANK A-FLEDs is as shown in Figure 7:

A B C D E F

Voice #1 on 4 voice board

Voice #2 on 4 voice board

Voice #3 on 4 voice board

Voice #4 on 4 voice board

Voice #1 on 2 voice board Voice #1 on 2 voice board

Figure 7 – Voice activity indication with voice watch mode (this example has 3 voices on)

When unison or any steal voice modes are enabled (described in the Voice assignment modes chapter), if a voice is reallocated to a new note, the LED will wink.

Voice watch mode is also useful for diagnosing missing or malfunctioning voices, and during operation, it is fun to watch!

Europa action functions

Europa uses the NUMBER 1-8buttons to perform various actions. They are not settable options, but rather “one shot” actions. One press equals one action.
