Roland’s Jupiter-X and Xm synths offer plenty of fast hands-on control, but they’re also deep machines that have a lot going on under the hood.

To help you access the instruments’ finer details, Roland has now rolled-out a free software editor and librarian for PC and Mac. This enables you to manage all your scenes and individual tones in one place.

If you want to design complex layers and performance setups, you can do so using the Scene Builder, while the Part Editor opens up the extensive parameter section of the ZEN-Core engine and its Model Expansions.

The editor syncs directly to your synth, so changes made are reflected in real-time.

You can download the Jupiter-X Editor for free via the Roland Cloud Manager.

I’m the Deputy Editor of MusicRadar, having worked on the site since its launch in 2007. I previously spent eight years working on our sister magazine, Computer Music. I’ve been playing the piano, gigging in bands and failing to finish tracks at home for more than 30 years, 24 of which I’ve also spent writing about music and the ever-changing technology used to make it.
