Problems with the Synthesizer effects
Effect not applied
Could the effect switch be off?
Check the on/off setting of each effect.
Is each layer’s Output Assign set to “MFX”?
With the factory settings, the Output Assign of some are not set
to “MFX.” Set the Output Assign to “MFX.”
Check the send level to each effect.
The effect won’t be obtained if the send level to that effect is set
at 0. Even if the send levels to the effect is set above 0, the effect
won’t be applied if the multi-effect output level, or reverb level
are set to 0. Check each of these settings.
You specified a delay time
value (for example for
multieffect 43: DELAY) as
a note value, but there’s
a limit beyond which the
delay time will not change
Check the delay time setting.
Increase the tempo.
Since the delay time has an upper limit, specifying the delay time
as a note value and then slowing down the tempo may reach
this upper limit. The maximum delay time is the highest value
that can be specified numerically (i.e., other than in terms of a
note value).
Problems with the USB Memory Song Player/Recorder
USB flash drive is not
detected / Song files are
not displayed
Check the format of your USB flash drive.
Format the USB flash drive on the JUPITER-80 (p. 79).
The JUPITER-80 can use USB flash drive that is formatted as FAT.
(Normally, when you purchase USB flash drive, it will be format-
ted as FAT, so you can start using it immediately.) However, the
JUPITER-80 cannot recognize a USB flash drive that is formatted
in a format other than FAT (e.g., NTFS).
Audio files on USB flash
drive won’t play
The audio file’s file type might not be a file type that can be
played on the JUPITER-80.
Use an audio file of the types listed in “Song files that can be
played”.
The audio file may be damaged.
Check the audio file.

Could the level be turned down?
Check the [VOLUME] knob setting, the Song Level setting and
the SONG EQ’s Level setting.
USB memory song player
sounds wrong
Could Center Cancel be ON?
Turn off the center cancel function.
Noise and distortion is
heard in the recorded
sound
Was the input sensitivity appropriate?
If the input sensitivity is too high, the recorded sound will be
distorted; if the input sensitivity is too low, the recorded sound
will be buried in noise.
Raise the Recording Level knob as high as possible without
causing the level meter’s CLIP indicator to light in red.
Problems with external MIDI devices
No sound from an external
MIDI device
Does the JUPITER-80’s MIDI transmit channel match the
connected device’s MIDI receive channel?
Match the JUPITER-80’s transmit channel and your connected
device’s receive channel.
Exclusive messages are not
received
Does the transmitting unit’s Device ID number match the
JUPITER-80’s Device ID number?
Set the Device ID numbers.
When using sequencer
software, operating knobs
or other controls does not
affect the sound
Some sequencer software does not “soft thru” system exclusive
messages.
If you want to record system exclusive messages, turn off the
Local Switch parameter.
Problems with an external device you’re recording
The volume level of the
instrument connected to
AUDIO IN (STEREO) is too
low .
Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

Adjust the volume of your external device to an appropriate
level.
—
Is the [LEVEL] knob adjusted correctly?
Adjust the [LEVEL] knob.
Problems with the USB flash drive

Could you have turned off the power while the USB song
player/recorder was operating?
Format the USB flash drive on the JUPITER-80.
Could a strong physical shock have been applied to the USB
flash drive?
Could the power have been turned off while accessing the USB
flash drive?
Can’t back up to USB flash
drive
Is there sufficient free space on the USB flash drive?
Use an SD card that has sufficient free space.
