Transfer patches from tape to Europa?

When Europa is initially installed and powered on for the first time, Europa will automatically copy all of the patches and presets stored in NVRAM into Europa’s internal flash, so there is no need to follow these steps to do a first time transfer.

NOTE: These steps will clobber the patches/presets stored in Europa’s internal flash, so if they need to be saved, do so by following the instructions in the “Save all patches and presets to MIDI?” section below. This process will also clobber Europa’s persistent state, so any currently edited patches, MIDI channel or other board settings should be saved if desired.

A tape restore is accomplished by performing the following steps:

•Power off the Jupiter 6

•Press and hold TAPE while powering on (to boot up to Roland mode)

•Load the patches/presets from tape as done before the Europa upgrade

•Verify that patches/presets are OK while still in Roland mode – all banks and all numbers

•Power off the Jupiter 6

•Press and hold PORTAMENTO while powering on. This will force patches and presets to be copied from NVRAM into Europa’s internal flash. Keep holding PORTAMENTO down until a boot code is shown! If this step is skipped, preset bank C & D will be overwritten with Europa’s persistent settings!

•Boot code E-2will be shown, indicating that patches/presets have been copied from NVRAM and converted in Europa’s flash

•Boot code E-4and/or E-5may appear indicating that NVRAM is corrupt. This is expected, as Europa uses NVRAM occupied by Roland’s preset bank C & D to store its internal settings. Reloading patches/presets from tape will most likely clobber Europa’s settings

•Press a front panel button or a key on the keyboard to continue booting

•Verify that patches/presets are OK. They are now preset in Europa’s flash

Repeat as necessary for the number of tapes with patches/presets on them. Save them to MIDI, and throw the tapes away!

Set Europa’s MIDI channel?

Not only is Europa’s MIDI channel settable, it is also remembered across board power cycles if memory protect is disabled! To set, press and hold the TUNE button. Pressing A allows channel selection of 1-8 through the 1-8 NUMBER buttons, and B allows channel selection of 9-16 – also by selecting it via the 1-8 NUMBER buttons. See the Setting the Jupiter 6’s base MIDI channel section for further details.

Reload factory patches and board settings?

The following steps will reload factory patches into NVRAM and Europa’s flash, as well as Europa’s default settings. Be sure to save off any critical patches/presets to MIDI beforehand!

•Power off the Jupiter 6

•Press and hold the BENDER button

•Power on the Jupiter 6

•Wait for a boot code E-6. Press a front panel button or key on the keyboard to continue

•All patches/presets in NVRAM and in Europa’s flash have been restored to factory defaults
