Chord mode (8)

Chord mode causes 4 notes to be played simultaneously, or 8 notes to be played if link mode is enabled. The recorded sequence is divided in to groupings of 4 notes (or 8 notes if in link mode) and all notes are played simultaneously. A maximum of 4 chords can be recorded, either four 4 note chords, or four 8 note chords (if in link mode). If a non-multiple of 4 or 8 notes is recorded, the remaining notes are considered a short chord and are played.

If the following 16 note sequence is recorded into Europa:

C E G A# D F A C# E G# B E F A C E

Assuming chord mode enabled, link mode is disabled, and C is held, each step of the arpeggiator would play (each line assumes notes are played simultaneously):

C E G A# D F A C# E G# B E F A C E …repeat….

If E, F, and G are held down, the above 4 chords play in the key of E, F, G, and repeat.

If only 14 notes of the above listed note sequence were recorded (missing the C and E off the last chord), then the 4th chord would just play the “short chord” of F & A.

When link mode is enabled, the behavior as described above is the same with the exception of the sequence being a maximum of 32 notes and eight note chords are played instead of four note chords. Also, link mode joins the upper and lower rhythms and sequences, so if the Jupiter 6 is in either SPLIT mode and chord mode is enabled, both SPLITS follow a 32 step rhythm and four note chords.

Programming the arpeggiator step rhythm

The arpeggiator has two 16 step rhythms (upper/lower rhythms) or one 32 step rhythm when rhythm/sequence link mode is enabled. It is always active when any arpeggiator mode has been selected. Enable the rhythm programming mode by pressing UP and waiting for 1 second. The PATCH PRESET, A-F, 1-8, and MANUAL buttons become beats 1 through 16 as shown in Figure 11:

Figure 11 - Arpeggiator step rhythm programming buttons

While the arpeggiator is running, a winking LED indicates the current beat. This is very similar to the operation of the Roland TR-707, TR-808, and TR-909 drum machines. Pressing one of the buttons shown in Figure 11 will toggle the step on or off. A lit LED indicates the arpeggiator will step to the next note(s) when that beat is reached, while an unlit LED indicates the arpeggiator will not step on that beat.
