- Here's an ultra quick tutorial on how to use Jupiter Xm step sequencer to create a Drum track and a Bass line.
Instant fun and huge sounds from this tiny little monster synth!!!
I love it! - Hudba
More XM tips like this please. Had mine for ages and it’s just so daunting but this has made it a bit less so
On TOTP in the 80s bands used to mime an entire song coming from one synth with no power cable connected.
You could do that for real with the Xm. 😀
Yes,That’s because so much time was needed on the pre TOTP hairdressing
but in the studio that synth had to be plugged in
They were terrified of screw ups if the band played live. There are several examples though where the artist simply refused playback.
There's some CZcams video of a band trying to play either Blue Monday or Bizarre Love Triangle live (no MIDI, recordings, quantizing, etc.). It's pretty messy! As KMFDM says, "our music is sampled, totally fake, it's done by machines, 'cause they don't make mistakes"
TOTP?
The Jupiter-Xm is simply an awesome little beast. I was cautious at first with the price, but after I played with one I quite happily handed over my money. Roland has really stepped up recently (I know people will hate me for saying this). We have the Jupiter range, the new Fantom range and Zenology (albeit waiting for Zen Pro to arrive). I also love that with batteries I can sit and play anywhere. Gattobus shows us what it can really do, but it's up to us to really get to know it and have hours and hours of enjoyment
I have mine now for 4 months and it makes me smile every day I turn it on 👍

Just start make music via instrument, stop smiling like noobs🤣
How is the immediency
@@Bigjuggs64 It really is a great synthesizer in all aspects. The only thing I don't like is the lack of true recording on the sequencer.
It's very emotional when someone nails the chords like that.
So many memories of the amazing 80s.
One advantage of the Xm over the full size X is the screen is front-and-center instead of off in the corner.
Buying an X, but I strongly considering going with the Xm again (sold mine to get the X) because of this. The keybed is decent for its size, but I wanted more.
I was thinking to buy the Xm buthere I don't have any full size keyboard and controller, and because is a Jupiter and is the perfect excuse to buy one, I bought the X and is not that bad the screen on the left. I mean, I can clearly see it and I think they didn't put it in the middle because they tried to make the X as close as possible to the 8 in design. At first I wasn't sure about this tiny screen, but it works fine. It would be amazing if the Xm has color leds like the X. Is a beautiful synth but needs more colors, like the 8 has.
@@MaximilianoSchneider I also bought the X and the screen being on the left hasn't bothered me in the slightest. If I wanted to do sound design, I'd do 99% of it in Zenology, and then maybe tweak it a little on the Jupiter. The workflow for the synth isn't that bad, but it would lose out to System-8 or other analog/VA synths on sound design. It doesn't matter to me, as the onboard sounds and Roland Cloud sounds are insanely good sounding.
@@purpl3t1m3 Well I was considering the System 8, but I never liked the green lights a lot. I have a TB-3 and is fine, but when I bought the TB-03 I realized I like more the vintage design. Anyway, I know the analog modeling in the System 8 is superior and is using the same modeling as the Boutique line (I have a couple of them and I love how they look and sound), but my concern with System 8 is how much support will have this synth, when clearly everything is moving to Zen Core.
@@MaximilianoSchneider The green lights don't bother you as much in person in a full studio. It's not my favorite design ever, but it works. Using the brushed metal ends makes it look sexy! Roland just released the Juno 60 model, and even though they don't make their roadmap public, I don't think it will be the last ACB plugout offered. It's like printing money for them at this point. I'd love to see a System-8 Mk2 that lets you store more patches and plugouts (e.g. ALL of them). Other than that, I'd be happy to buy one again (in addition to my new Jupiter-X)
I've had the xm since April and didn't know you could record like this!
sevendragon me too :) @gattobus the best man who shows jupiterxm’s abilities
I don't know why there aren't more videos of this keyboard doing Synthwave. It was practically made for it. I still don't have one yet
Nice. The transpose in real time is something i really miss on the Fantom....
Great work mate! The new Xm and X definitely seem like a perfect fit for Synthwave!
Really cool indeed!!! Thanks for sharing 👍
This thing is like a groovebox with keys! So cool
These Jupiter Xs are the most user unfriendly musical instruments BUT they sound great.
Thanks for this! I just bought a used one, and I'm amazed at what it can do once you learn how to use it!
cool indeed! we who bought xms, inspired by your videos, need more videos like this :) thank you..
you have just unlocked my XM mate ! more please
That was pretty sweet dude!
Surprise it has an actual drum machine?? Thank you 🙏 for the velocity based goodness. Holy moly.
Cool! I just have mine a month. Thanks for the tutorial!
Nice demo. Good use of the iArp as a sequencer.
Very nice! 🎹😊👍
Amazing!!
Please make a whole album like this! 😍
omg this is amazing teaching
That’s ace!
Thanx for this tip it is very hapeful for me getting into my Jupiter Xm and thinking about adding a hardware sequencer on it. It actually does sequencing not so bad as I thought :)
Cool vid, thx
VERY NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Wonderful!
You did that fast. Great job.
effin awesome
Superb and v useful thanks
Nice!
superb.
Wow, I'm having flashbacks to the JD-Xi workflow - impressive :)
THX!
Thank you!!!
I’m totally down with this.
I'm gonna have this soon.
This is badass. Awesome video and playing. Subbed. This demonstrates how powerful this little beast is. It gets a lot of hate, but I think time will put it with the System 8. Does the menu system bother you?
Holy song
Thanks for sharing. Just received my Juno-X but can still follow along. The menu and process look the same.
can u pls make another tutorial like this for the new firmware? im lost
You are real Jupiter Xm king! Thank you i hope you will continue , jupiter how to make sythwave series
This is great - I think I got 95% working on my Xm. When I turn on Part 2 at about 2:25 though, it's arpeggiated ?? Also, it looks like the Keyshift is different on v3.0, so I made a tweak, maybe that's where I went wrong? Thanks for this! Would love to see more
Ah bene!
😃❤️📟🎛🎹🔊🎶

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing! I tried to follow it a couple of times on my X, but for some reason the Juno pad plays only in the part assigned to the arp (up to c4) so I can't play the Juno pad. I tried a split, but the split sends part 1 to the upper part of the keyboard, so I don't know what I did wrong, or if maybe there's something a bit difference between the X and the Xm.
Same here :(
@@rinaa6865 Cool! Thanks!
With firmware 3.02 i cant get past the 2:07 mark - its a different menu and i cant find how to do it.
I am amazed, not only by your music but also by the degree of knowledge of the synth. I hate the step editor and I believe a software one should be easier to manage. Overall, GREAT!
Can you do this on the Jupiter x
Che figata! Ha la stessa modalità di creazione delle drums della JD-Xi ? Perchè io mi ci trovo benissimo! Se facessi un upgrade vorrei una macchina simile, tipo groove-box, che abbia pattern di batteria facilmente editabili e layers sui quali suonare sovrapposti. Lo Jupiter Xm funziona con questa mentalità? Perchè ad esempio la JD-XA NON ha i drums kit in modalità sequencer! Grazie.
Thank you very much for this video! Its perfect, transpose in real time on step seq parts is very important and huge advantage over all other multitrack HW sequencers such as Elektron, Korg etc. Xm is a must-have groovemachine and with external multi-zone midi standard keys keyboard the best soundbank for studio/stage ;-)
I really like the track, could you possibly make a backup so that I could continue to use it in my XM I would also pay a little something for it, thank you very much
Did the drums get changes in a firmware update? Im on the latest and my drum kit bass drum, for example, does not sound like yours at all. Its seriously gated. Im running stock on a INIT scene while following your video.
😎
How do you initialise step edit? I couldn't figure it out how you did it here
Zajebiste!!!
Well...in fact i just need one synth...this one 😁
Wow that's neat! Thanks for that! Just tried on mine with an initialized scene but the Part 1 doesn't seem to arp like yours, what can I be missing? Went through the video a few time and it look to me that I correctly follow every steps. Also I noticed that when I switch to Part 4 (immediately after building the drum pattern) it's has a length of 64 by default, is that normal?
Check out the arp part edit - it should be off to play manually the melody, on to play from step edit. in my case length is also 64 by default.
@@keyhoarder hello, I tried too but the right side of the keys are silencious, I cant play any chord though I programmed the sounds. What can I do ? Thanks
@@keyhoarder i mean there is a split, but no sounds on the right side of the split. All the sounds are on the left
@@lecapitole5663 Same here, no solution to get the right part playing?
@@ggabesz80 I found a something on a great Facebook group about the Jupiter Xm, I advise you to join it. I didnt try though, these maneuvers gave me headache, so I stopped thinking too much with the Xm😅
Tu es trop fort gattobus ,pour toi un jeu d'enfant 🤣🤣 donne moi des cours 👍👍 bonjour de la Belgique
I could not follow along it went so fast.. when I play my chords its triggering the drums then I tried going back to fix it.. the sequencer reset. 😤😤
why did nobody made a demo of jupiter XM DRUMKIT ??
And the bells of the mountain fidgets tintanabulated until the ancients of the pea God emptied their bags of junipers into the river of Gath.
I tried to do it, but it doesn’t work on mine 💔 idk why :(
No sound going up from C4 when i turn on part 2 following the video :( Any advice or workaround?

Con questa mi hai convinto a prendere il Jupiter xm…
I never use the sequencer on board. I use a Squarp Pyramid. Bad company for customer support but they do make a bad ass product.
Just missing Billy Ocean vocals🤪
cute
So can this be done n the Jupiter X too?
Yes. Same machine, only bigger.
@@mikecorbett5831 Thank you. So when you have this little transposeable track done, it can be saved as a scene? Forgive me, but I'm a little confused how the patch saving/access works. Had the same with my old Super JX10.
@@Howdy606 I have not tried this yet, but the menu process should be the same. The major differences between the X and the Xm is the keyboard size and positioning of the dials and buttons. Everything else internally functions in the same exact way.
fark!
forgive me... it's rare... to see real magic!!!
Chapo
Really strange machine. You've created something, one wrong step and all is gone. Normally the machine should ask before it deletes everything - if the next step would do that.
