Just ran across this fantastic tutorial, and I’m finding that quite a lot of this works for the Juno X as well Thanks so much! This really made my day.
Great demo - was exactly what I was after about MSB LSB & PC" as I would run this through multi midi mode on the Akai MPC Live with other portable synthesizers & side chain it all via a sound card. Even the manuals.roland supply online don't have program change information.
Soooooo inspiring......thanks again, Tony, you are a great inspiration in your véry clear comment in this rather complicated for amateurs, environment.Even mé comprehends your detailed presentation!
Thank you very much for this nice MIDI demonstration; though I'm still struggling through the pile of all keyboard demos along youtube channels. They all seem to have one common point missing which is that no one explaining **clearly and sharply** which keyboard is most suitable for which purpose? I know the fact that each user has their own needs and also each device can be (at least theoretically) used for all purposes too, but I also belive that there is a good / proper use for each device according to its design target just like a school bus vs. hatchback vs. convertible; each can take you to school but in quite different (or smilar ?) ways... So consider the rough keyboard categories : 1- digital grand pianos 2- digital portable pianos 3- digital portable grands (DGX) 4- synthesizers 5- arranger workstations like Tyros, Genos 6- all purpose pro devices like PSR-SX900 7- all purpose beginners / amateurs like PSR-EW463 And consider the following use scenerios : 1- Classical Concert Live (pro) 2- Pop Rock R&B Jazz Concert Live (pro) 3- Live entertainment in Weddings, Clubs and Parties 4- Studio Recording for an album of any genre 5- Music Composition 6- Music Teaching and Learning 7- Home entertainment Now can someone point me to which devices best fit into which categories from each brand ?
The explanation is very good, but it is not clear to me which buttons I should press so that each channel of the XM is controlled separately. That is, how do I configure the scene so that I can sequence it externally? Part 1-Channel 1. Part 2-Channel 2. Etc. --- La explicación está muy bien, pero no me queda claro qué botones debo pulsar para que cada canal del XM sea controlado por separado. Es decir cómo tengo que configurar la escena para que pueda secuenciarlo externamente Parte 1-Canal 1. Parte 2-Canal 2. Etc.
Thanks for a brilliant and informative video. My challenge is the opposite: I´d like the Jupiter X to control an external synth by MIDI, but I cannot get it to work. How do I set the MIDI TX channel?
Would be great if the tutorial also explained how everything was plugged in and connected (cable-wise). Does anyone else in the thread have any insight on that? In my case, I have a Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 as a controller keyboard (plugged in via USB to my computer) - so what cables are needed to connect with the Jupiter-XM? And do I need to disable the internal speakers on the Jupiter?
bonjour, merci pour cette super video, j'ai un nord Wave 2, mon Jupiter xm arrive demain, sera t'il possible de faire la même chose avec mon nord wave 2 ?
Hello. Wondering if I could get help to configure my Elektron Digitakt to control my Roland Jupiter XM. I am unsure of settings for the Digitakt in terms of midi settings as MSB does not seem to be able to be set to 0. On the Digitakt the settings are as follows: BANK, SBNH, PROG, with other midi settings on the Digitakt. I have configured the Digitakt to send clock, transport and program data. I have both set to midi channel 14 and the XM receiving program, bank and exclusive data is all set to ON. Ideally I'd love to control the individual parts of the scenes to use the Jupiter XM in a multitimbral mode. I have my midi devices in the following order: -an Arturia Keystep going MIDI IN into the Digitakt -using the Digitakt to control the Jupiter XM, a Digitone, an AEROS Loop Studio, and a TC Helicon Voicelive 3 Extreme - all attached to the Digitakt through MIDI OUT using a Midi Solutions Quadra Thru (1 midi in to 4 midi outs). Any help with this is appreciated.
Tried getting it going but it just stops sounds all together when every I add in MSB LSB on the AKIAI MPC (same thing as event list editor in Logic Pro). SH4D seems to be bad with MIDI as well. My JV 1010 & Blofeld (1999 & 2009) work perfectly well with no hassle. Great video though.
Thanks a lot for this video! It helped me a lot to better understand using my Jupiter XM together with my Stage 3. BTW: your Stage 3 synth lead in minute 5:00 sounds great. May I ask you which preset you are using there? Thanks and keep up your great work! Greatly appreciated.
Is there a published list somewhere of the values that you need to input into the Nord in order to control different external synthesizers? For example, is it possible to program performance changes, etc. on a Korg wavestate this way?
Good evening from Athens....What if you dont have Nord Stage...but you have a Komplete Kontrol S series keyboard? How this keyboard could be configured, in order to do all this you provide with this setup? Thank you
Wait so can I buy a cheap midi keyboard that has more keys and use it as a replacement for the xm keys? Can I use a usb connector to power the midi keyboard to xm ? And then boom I can play with more keys, so I can use it without connecting a laptop. I like the portability of the xm that’s why I’m trying to get it.
Hi, I have a Jupiter X (Not XM) with a YAMAHA MODX8+. I'm going by this video but my Jupiter X doesn't have the 'On' selection on Remote kbd. It actually gives me the choices: MIDI IN, USB MEM, USB COMP and OFF. Also I've managed to MIDI my MODX playing through my Jupiter X which is the opposite of what I want to do, can anyone help with this?
Dear Tony, i tried everything you said, and i have still some Questions. 1 ) Why do i have to select MSB 85 ? Why not start from the beginning, Bank 0. 2 ) When i switch off KBD Midi Control the Jupiter X under Version 1.50 it only plays one channel, even when i select two Parts with one midi channel. In this mode i can play a solo sound seperatley on the Jupiter X, but i only hear one channel when my MPC Rennaissance triggering a pad. I would like have two pads triggered from the MPC and one solo sound played on the Jupiter X. If i turn on the KBD Midi Control, of course i hear all sounds in the Jupiter X when playing the Solosound. I even found the page where you can give any part a seperate Midichannel, but Jupiter X cannot trigger two sounds at the same time with the same channel coming from an external device in the KBD Midi control turned off. The solution would be to have the option to switch the KBD Midi Control on and off for each part seperatly, but unfortunatley this function can only be set globally. Thanks for reading my message in advance. Best regards Frank
Hey Frank, I think I can sorta answer your question about the "MSB" thingy. My Midi rig includes keyboards from 3 different manufacturers: Roland, Korg and Yamaha: all being controlled by a single Midi event processor that handles all the program changes, zoning, etc. Each manufacturer seems to use a different MSB code to access their MIDI Program Changes. I found that Roland typically uses MSB 085; Yamaha typically uses MSB 063, and Korg typically uses MSB 000. The LSB number represents which "Bank" to find the program; and then the PC (program change) number is used to recall the exact program you're want to play. For Example: to recall a program for a Yamaha Motif: if you're wanting to recall the "Grand Piano" patch 001 from the PRE 1 bank, you would enter the codes: MSB 63; LSB 0; PC 0. Or another example: if you want to recall "Strings" patch #16 from the INTERNAL bank , you would enter: MSB 63; LSB 8; PC 15. Or yet another example: Say, you want to recall Performance # 22 that you've saved on Motif's Flash Memory SD card, you would enter: MSB 63; LSB 65; PC 21. Now, say you have a Korg Kronos and you're wanting to recall a patch 072 from the INT-B bank; you would enter: MSB 000; LSB 1; PC 071. Typically, these MSB/LSB numbers can be easily found in the back of the keyboard manuals... in the DATA LIST section of the manual. Hope this helped.. Sorry for any confusion.
@@JoelBouchillon Thanks a lot for your big effort. Very appreciated. :-) I thought nowadays it would work easier, but it´s since 40 Years the same this LSB MSB thing.:-D
When sending notes from my sequencer to the Jupiter why does the arpeggiator not work without external keyboard mode on (I dont really want everything playing at once)
Hello guys! I'm trying to midi my Jup Xm with a MODX6 but the scenes doesn't working very well. I put the Remote kbd on mode on but the sounds are sounding weird. Help me, please.
Does anybody know if jupiter XM works well with oldest keyborads with midi like roland E-15 like in this video with nord 3?? (obviusly with the limits of E-15) Something like to play in e-15 the sounds of Jupiter XM.
Hello friend. Wonderful video. I just bought a Jupiter-XM and was trying to connect it in midi with my NS4. Thank you very much for the lesson.
I needed to figure out how to connect my Nord to the Xm. Thanks!
This is still the most comprehensive tutorial on midi configuring with an external controller. Great job! Can I hire you to help me with my setup?
Thanks for that external keyboard Xm tip! I couldn't figure out what was going on before that was set.
Excellent Tony ! Thank you for all the midi info and explaining everything you need to do. Best tutorial Iv seen.
Just ran across this fantastic tutorial, and I’m finding that quite a lot of this works for the Juno X as well Thanks so much! This really made my day.
thank you Sir... I appreciated todays video as I just purchased a Xm and love it, but am still learning it.
Great demo - was exactly what I was after about MSB LSB & PC" as I would run this through multi midi mode on the Akai MPC Live with other portable synthesizers & side chain it all via a sound card. Even the manuals.roland supply online don't have program change information.
Thank you very much for the information
Awesome, works great with my MPC One to change Scenes etc. Thanks!
great Xm tutorial!!!
Very useful. Thank you. It woul be great to see a video on using the Xm with a DAW like Cubase. Thanks again and great playing too!

So consider the rough keyboard categories :

2- digital portable pianos
3- digital portable grands (DGX)
4- synthesizers
5- arranger workstations like Tyros, Genos
6- all purpose pro devices like PSR-SX900

And consider the following use scenerios :
1- Classical Concert Live (pro)
2- Pop Rock R&B Jazz Concert Live (pro)
3- Live entertainment in Weddings, Clubs and Parties
4- Studio Recording for an album of any genre
5- Music Composition
6- Music Teaching and Learning
7- Home entertainment
Now can someone point me to which devices best fit into which categories from each brand ?
Very informative and well done tutorial. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience
Thank you for another great video Tony!!
wow! really great discoveries!
..is it also possible to access the xm drum via sequencer? thank you!
The explanation is very good, but it is not clear to me which buttons I should press so that each channel of the XM is controlled separately.
That is, how do I configure the scene so that I can sequence it externally?

This was really good. Any clue how to do this but with an MPC Live 2? I’m close but having a few hiccups.
Thanks for a brilliant and informative video.
My challenge is the opposite: I´d like the Jupiter X to control an external synth by MIDI, but I cannot get it to work. How do I set the MIDI TX channel?
Great tutorial, Tony. How is the Nord connected to the Jupiter- just via double ended USB?
Really interesting video. Thanks
Would be great if the tutorial also explained how everything was plugged in and connected (cable-wise). Does anyone else in the thread have any insight on that?

As of the latest update (see date of post) the menu is slightly different. Remote keyboard now has more than one option.
That was awesome!

Tony, thanks for this. What audio mixer do you use to bring the audio from Stage 3 and Jupiter together for PA input / DI input?

Using mine with an Electro HP like this, got a midi switch to turn it on and off depending on what configuration I want.

Woody, I’ve been waiting for your follow-up work with Band-in-a-Box. Have you given up on that project?
I'm not Woody! :-)
Hi Tony, I'm enjoying the video. Is it possible to obtain the lead sound from the Nord Stage 3 please? It's a cool sound!
Contact me via Bonners website - just send an email marked for my attention and I'll endeavour to send you the Nord patch.

Exactly what I’m doing, have the xm on the way and am gonna use a 61 key novation controller with it
can you change patches within a scene using program change messages? Thanks
Hi, could each part be controlled by a different midi channel?
Would this be the same process if connecting Jupiter to mpc 3000

How do you trigger iArp from an external keyboard? I want to use a Roland A-50
If you have the remote kbd set to on in the settings the iarp is triggered as if you are playing the local keyboard.
