New Editor / Librarian / Live controller for JP-08

Post by paologatto »

I started this as a private little project for controlling better the JP-08... then it became a full featured editor, librarian and live controller, with a special attention to Dual mode!

Key features:

- Real time control of all JP-08 parameters, both layers simultaneously when DUAL is enabled

- Accurate and adjustable mapping of each JP-08 parameter (from 0..127 CC values from
external MIDI controller to 0..255 internal JP values), with normal or inverse polarity,
on both layers simultaneously

- User assignable Velocity and Aftertouch

- Supports up to 2 external MIDI controllers, for example a keyboard and a knob controller

- Editor / librarian feature: patches created with JP-08 can be downloaded on the editor and
saved locally on the computer as .PRM files, standard format of patches saved inside
the JP (see backup/restore feature in JP manual)

- Patches in .PRM format can be loaded instantaneously from computer to JP (infinite patches
library ); they can be loaded on both layers automatically

- Editing and sound design of new patches can be done from external controller, from computer
(with fine adjustment of everything) or from the JP-08 panel (supporting echo of modified
parameters on both layers in real time)

- Backup of all JP-08 internal 64 patches, locally saved in the computer as .PRM files,
ready for a "Restore" function

- Quick recall: 8 most used patches can be assigned to 8 external controller buttons for immediate
recall (both layers loading supported and recommended)

- Init patch function: a flat starting point patch is created on JP-08 and local panel

- Randomize function: random values for each parameter are generated on JP-08 and local
panel. Funny and creative

- Direct and remote control of Delay, Portamento and Bender range

- Built-in input and output MIDI monitor for easy mapping and discovering of external controller
CC values

- Free version is fully working and allows patches saving on local computer

Options disabled in free version :
- instantaneous patches loading from computer (except included demo patches)
- total backup limited to first 4 patches,
- saving of custom CC map disabled (current settings are saved and recalled in free version anyway!)
- Random patches generation disabled

All other functions are working!! No time limits, no registration required, just run, set MIDI configuration
and have fun!

Dude, this is so annoying:
The software is currently available only for Windows.
