Europa has several actions that it can perform on powerup. Each is performed by holding the keys
mentioned below, turning the Jupiter 6’s power on, and holding until no longer required (as
documented):
TAPE
TAPETAPE
TAPE Boot to Roland mode. No need to hold the TAPE
TAPETAPE
TAPE button after the board has booted.
Once it has booted, the board is ready for operation. Note that patches created under
Europa will not be usable under Roland code without a manual conversion step
(documented below). Conversely, patches created under Roland code will also need
conversion to Europa. But then again, once the patches have been converted to
Europa, why go back to the Roland code?

Force firmware transfer mode (FTM) boot. The only reason to use this is if the
operational code image is good but crashes when firmware transfer is attempted, and
standard contact with the Europa Firmware Update Utility does not work. A lit B

Roland factory patches and presets to NVRAM, writes a converted version of the

Portamento Copy NVRAM patches and presets to internal Europa flash and convert to Europa
patch/preset format. This is used to convert recently restored patches and presets
(via tape) over to Europa. One such use would be booting Roland code and loading
patches and presets from cassette. NVRAM Is only used as a copy source and is not
altered. Hold until boot code E

Glissando
GlissandoGlissando
Glissando Copy flash patch/presets to NVRAM and convert the NVRAM to Roland format.
The only reason to use this feature is to share patches and presets with non-Europa
upgraded Jupiter 6 owners. Note that many preset settings, mostly related to the
arpeggiator, are lost since Roland’s NVRAM preset format doesn’t store Europa
specific settings.
