#1 The arpeggiator works perfectly, you have either a MIDI Loop, or the Akai is sending a stop message to the JT, try the JT alone you will see it works. #2 The LFO destination OSC, does not mean it is the OSC pitch but the OSC parameter, some oscillators have a parameter that can be modulated, detune for the SuperSaw, or Duty cycle for the PWM, so when dest is on OSC this parameter gets modulated. Works perfectly on mine. The LFO2 is permanently routed to pitch modulation. I hope it helps, there is no bug.
100%! I just tested without the mpc and, yes, the apeggiator works as designed. And also the LFO osc is working as designed as well. As I understood the manual, the wording indicates there's another param for the separate wave types but I guess it meant they fall under the OSC dest.
There is still an error in the amp envelope, at least at my device. Amp attack and decay are only responding to a limited range and not the full range when not in amp envelope menu. For example, turn attack to zero, leave the amp envelope menu and set it via cc81 to full 127 (hex 7F). Attack is changing, but not to full limit. Now select the amp envelope menu again and you will hear the difference. Amp sustain and release are still not responding to CC83 and CC84 at all when not in amp envelope menu. I did the update on 1.1.4, this is also what it displays in settings menu. Hopefully there will be a new update soon that fixes these issues.
I think you are correct. The sustain and release only work via CC if you are actually on the sustain/release page. The CC are received by the unit as you can see the param value has changed, but it only applies the value when you go to the page. And yes, bug appears to still be in the attack and decay params as well! If you increase attack to max while in the Amp section, the attack will last a good 17 seconds. If you reset to 0, exit out of the Amp section and then reapply full attack via CC, the attack only lasts around 1 second.
I got this last week . I managed to get it working on my 2017 iMac . I'm a GarageBand user, but have the reason app which I need to get my head around . Anyway , initially it wouldn't work with my artruria keystep. However, I had the sysex app which I used to fix moog minitaur . After getting the sysex to accept the Behringher it now works ..in Reason and not GarageBand ! Having said that, if I keep both open, then I can record to GarageBand after all . A lot of fiddling about and menu diving which I didn't expect . Then again ,it's cheap and is half the size of my hand . No midi is a deal breaker for some, and I can see why . The most positive thing so far, is that I have room on my computer desk to use it . Hopefully I'll end up liking it
@@lineoneL1 Mine came about a week ago. I've also run it through my pc to sync with my Behringer Swing. I can't get on with Ableton or stuff like it but I found an amazing free Windows app called MIDIberry. Works flawlessly for what I need ✌️
Cant send any patches from my computer to the device. Sysex receive listening is all i get and the message: check your unit to confirm! ENTER does nothing. Any idea? Bug in F114? It is a brand new device.
I just confirmed that it's working for me: 1. Connect the unit to your laptop using a proper USB-C data cable and the unit powers up. 2. Go to the JT-4000 settings section and go to 2nd last option, Sysex Receive: Listening. 3. Load the SynthTribe program. The unit is detected as a JT-4000. 4. Press the get started button 5. the Status on the unit changes the "Systex Receive: Success" 6. Press the Receive: All Presets button and your presets should be sent to the unit

@@darrengoodenough8064 a midi keyboard won't connect directly to it. You'd need to connect both Synth and keyboard to your laptop and using your DAW software, assign the keyboard midi out to the synth midi in
Great video! Can you please help me out what’s the best way to connect it to an external midi controller? I just want to use it with a small midi keyboard like your Korg nano key. I guess it’s with an OTG cable, but not sure what type exactly. Also if I use it with with a keyboard that has an arpeggiator will it do the effect? I’m not talking about the Behringer’s built in arpeggiator. Many thanks in advance :)
Unfortunately I don't know of a keyboard that would connect directly to this, you do need a USB host device inbetween. That could be a laptop or hardware sequencer like I'm using, or a special midi box such as ones by DoreMidi. As for the external arpeggiator, yes, any device that sends arpeggiator midi notes will be able to control the synth.
I did not try it with JT-4000, but with another synth. You need few things: Android cellphone, usb hub, usb midi cable. Download a Midi Keybord app, set the app midi to thru. Connect usb hub to cellphone, connect both usb-midi cabe to usb hub, and JT-4000 to usb hub Connect your midi keyboard to the usb-midi cable, Set your Jt-4000 to midi ch 1, and your keyboard to midi ch 1. Cross your fingers and it should work.
@@lineoneL1 Thank you so much for the reply. I'll look into this more. To be honest at this point it would make more sense to just get the Pro vs Mini synth which has dedicated midi out. 2x the cost of the JT-4000, but no need for tricks.
I tried to update my jt-4000, is now 1.1.4. but when I click on update it says 'update failed' and the only thing I see on the jt-4000 that the right and left button flashes. What to do?
i have a problem to connect the JT4000 to a standard MIDI controller. I do not want use any extra device just a small MIDI keyboard with some buttons and potentiometers. I tried many DIN-USB converters, cables, MIDI HOST devices now response on JT. I do not want use expensive equipment for this cheap instrument. Thank you for advices.
@@lineoneL1 Hi I purchased a Rockjam Midi Controller with a DIN USB cable. The Rockjam controls my keyboards but not the JT. I monitored the data from devices. The controller sends Midi Data, but when I connect it to JT I see just the Data from JT. I do not use DAW ( no plans). I just wanted to extend the control capabilities of JT with external simple potentiometers and buttons.
@@lineoneL1 no, because according the manufacturer it is just a power socket no MIDI signal there, just on the jack. The reseller of JT recommended the MIDI HOST but is was also not working. On top of that I need the host for my keyboards. I spent a day with different options. I can try this option tomorrow, anyway I have to return the Rockjam if it does not work with JT.
Yes. I think it pinches the second Oscillator and uses the PWM to detune them. It shit me for a while cause I was trying to set both Oscillators to Supersaw for a FATsaw.

I like how small it is. Being a guitar and drummer and Dj my entire life I just started making techno. Never ever liked the look of pianos. Looks like a tiny piano but so small no one will see the silly thing.
At some point somebody must say it. This synth sounds like crap. Behringer is usually pretty good at giving you more for less money but here really this has nothing on a Volca or NTS-1.
I think it should thought as a barebones ‘clone’ of the Roland JP-8000 without the effects and original 8 voice polyphony. In my opinion it fits in perfectly in the range of affordable but capable synths. I’d argue against the Volca in terms of sound design but of course depends on which Volca and which synth. The Volca keys (A three voice analog synth with delay effect ), Volca FM2 (six voice 6 operator digital FM synth with reverb/chorus basically a dx7 in a box), or the Volca bass (analog three VCO bass synth with sequencer capabilities) VERUS Behringer JT-4000 (four voice digital hybrid synth modeled after the 12 bit Roland JP8000 without original effects such as chorus/ flanger and delay).
