Subject: Re: [AH] Jupiter 6 and MIDI
Hi
there is also a little hardware trick
before to power on the synth connect the midi out to midi in
and after the synth is on it's set on midi ch.1 and omni off,
I must say that from my personal point of view Jp6 is not a so good sounding
synth
totally an other story respect JP8,it has very thin sounding
oscillator/filter,very limited in sound
effects,I have temporarily exchanged it with a prophet 600 of a friend that
I greatly prefer,it's warmer
with a superior character and a very good unison mode too

Hi Bradford.
Unfortunately, the MIDI implementation in the JP-6 is very
rudimentary. It was one of Roland's first (if not the first)
analogues to have it.
Having said that, there is an easy work-around for getting the synth
out of Omni.
If you are using a computer-based sequencer simply program into midi
channel one controller number 124 (Omni Off) and 127 (Poly On). If
you're using a hardware-based sequencer, this may be a little more
tricky to do.
There's a new firmware being developed by a couple of folks from AH.
It's an ongoing project, hopping to add several features to the MIDI
spec of the Jupiter-6, along with some other enhancements. Check it
out at www.synthcom.com.
The Jupiter-6 is still one of my favorite analogue polysynths. The
multi-mode filter and cross mod are amazing.
