Can Europa be used as a master generic continuous controller module or as a master controller?
Europa does give nonprogrammable continuous controller values for each of the various sliders and knobs on the Jupiter 6. However, it does not add pitch bend, mod wheel, velocity, or aftertouch to the existing keyboard, which makes it not well suited for a generic controller. It’s currently beyond the scope of Europa to make the continuous controllers programmable. Will Europa work on my older (or newer) Jupiter 6? Yes. We own all 3 types of JP-6 controller boards, and have tested Europa on hundreds of Jupiter 6s. We’ve yet to encounter an incompatible JP-6! I have the latest Roland version 6 ROMs that allow MIDI channel changing. Will Europa coexist with it? Yes. Europa actually replaces the Roland code’s functionality, but you can leave the old EPROM in place. You’ll be pleased to know that the MIDI channel is still selectable (and is memorized) with Europa, so there is no need to use the Roland code once Europa is installed. Will Europa coexist with my Kenton upgrade? We think so, b
