Tones
The “tone” is the smallest unit of sound that is managed on the JUPITER-80.
There are four types of tones, as shown in the table below. These tones are the elements that make up Registrations (p. 15) and Live Sets (p. 14).
Type Explanation
SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tone
These are acoustic-type SuperNATURAL sounds.
Many realistic sounds using Behavior Modeling Technology are provided.
You can also use the Live Set Tone Modify screen (p. 32, p. 78) to adjust certain parameters that have been selected
as most appropriate for each sound.
These tones can be assigned to a Live Set (Upper Part, Lower Part), to the Solo Part, or to the Percussion Part.
SuperNATURAL Synth Tone
Partial 2
OSC FILTER AMP
Partial 1
OSC FILTER AMP
Partial 3
OSC FILTER AMP
These are synthesizer-type SuperNATURAL sounds.
These tones allow you to freely create original sounds, as on an analog synthesizer (p. 66).
One tone can produce the sound of three synthesizers, each with an oscillator (OSC), filter (FILTER), and
amplifier (AMP).
The oscillator (OSC) provides not only the waveforms of a standard analog synthesizer, but also PCM
waveforms.
You can save 2,048 tones you’ve edited (p. 68).
These tones can be assigned to the Live Set (Upper Part, Lower Part), Solo Part, and Percussion Part.
Manual Percussion
These produce the sounds of percussion instruments or sound effects.
A wide variety of percussion instruments and sound effects will be heard depending on the key (note number)
you play.
These tones can be assigned only to the Percussion Part.
Drums/SFX
You can save 2,048 SuperNATURAL Synth Tones you’ve edited, and call them up when desired.

MEMO
The results of your editing a SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tone, Manual Percussion, and Drums/SFX can be saved as a Registration or as a Live Set.
What are SuperNATURAL Tones?
Taking advantage of Behavior Modeling Technology, SuperNATURAL is Roland’s exclusive sound set
that achieves a new level of realism and expression that were difficult to realize with previous sound
generators.
Behavior Modeling Technology
Not only physical modeling of the instruments, Roland takes it a step further by modeling the instrument’s distinctive behavior that responds
to how the performer plays, resulting in true-to-life, expressive sounds in realtime.
