The arpeggiator is enabled but it won’t start

Europa adds several features to the Arpeggiator that can cause the Arpeggiator to not start or step.

•Is the clock source set properly? Press the DOWN button for at least one second and hold it. Look at the A, B, and C LEDs in the BANK group of buttons (only one of the LEDs will be lit):

A - Internal clock (rate adjustable by the RATE knob in the arpeggio section). is the RATE something other than 0? Try turning the RATE knob to mid scale

B - External clock. Verify that there is a cable plugged in to the “Arpeggio clock in” jack on the back of the Jupiter 6 and that the master clocking device is generating one pulse per step

C - MIDI Clock. Is the MIDI clock source transmitting MIDI clock? Note that most sequencers have MIDI clock transmission turned off by default. Consult the documentation for the sequencer being used

•Is a sequence arpeggio mode selected with no recorded sequence? A sequence arpeggio mode with an empty sequence will produce no notes. Either record a sequence or unset an arpeggiator sequence mode (described in “Arpeggiator and sequence modes”)

•Is a blank rhythm set? Double check it by pressing and holding the RANGE button and ensuring that at least some of the PATCH PRESET, A-F, 1-8, and MANUAL LEDs are set. If no rhythm is programmed, the arpeggiator will not step

•Is a combination of the rate being set very low and the divider/multiplier being set to a large divider? If clocked internally, try setting the RATE knob to about midrange (5), and set the divider to 1X as documented in the Multiplier/divider settings (1 - 8) section

I get two notes for every one I play (or notes sound flanged)

Ensure the sequencer being used is not looping back notes. If it is, either set the sequencer to not do MIDI loopback or shut local mode on the Jupiter 6 off (press and hold TAPE and press A until it blinks). This is not a problem with Europa, rather one that can be noticed with Europa due to voice watch.

The ENV-2 slider doesn’t work!

Turn off velocity transmit. Press and hold TAPE and press D until it blinks. This restores the ENV-2slider to normal operation instead of controlling the velocity of played notes.

I’m not recording sysex/CCs from Europa in my sequencer

Check the sequencer and ensure that continuous controllers and/or system exclusive messages are not filtered out. By default, most sequencers fill filter out (drop) all system exclusive messages during recording. It must be manually enabled. Check with the sequencer documentation to verify that system exclusive messages will be recorded.

Assuming the sequencer is properly set to record system exclusive and/or continuous controller messages, press and hold the TAPE button on the Jupiter 6. Verify that B is lit solid. This indicates that continuous controllers will be transmitted on knob, slider, and button changes. If system exclusive recording is desired, verify that C is lit solid.

NOTE: System exclusive messages should not be used for recording or performance purposes. The messages themselves are significantly larger than continuous controller messages and can induce sloppy MIDI timing. Instead, record continuous controller messages.
