Learning Parameters for Automation #

You can automate almost every parameter of your JP-8000 / JP-8080 with our Editor in DAW without having to remember CC numbers or have spread sheets constantly open on your screen.

Click toggle [1] to view arrangement view. Now click Unfold Device Parameters [2] button so we can map the parameters we want for automation.

Toggle on Configure [1] from Device Parameters view

Configure Parameters for Automation

Notice that if JP has layer link [1] toggled on, learning parameters will be troublesome. Click the link [1] button to unlink layers.

Now if you move parameters from the Editor User Interface [1] or Hardware, Live will register the parameters [2].

Now if you toggle on Automation [1], all of the parameters you assigned in Configuration mode will be shown in the Editor track [2] in Live.

Closure #

Here is a summary of what is happening in Live now that everything is configured as they should be!

[1] Track hosting our Editor.
- Ideal for automation,
- Patch change and value edits per layer,
- Performance change and value edits,
- Librarian Edits,
- and Total Recall : Data is sent to hardware automatically when project is loaded.
[2] Stereo Audio track.
- Audio Inputs from JP-8000 selected as source of audio.
- Could be split into two Mono tracks if output mode is set to parallel out.
- Input Monitoring is toggled on so that we can hear everything happening with the JP-8000.
[3] MIDI track assigned to JP-8000 vOut Port.
- MIDI channel is set to 1. Now if we take a look at the Editor MIDI channels in the General Settings area, we can see that channel 1 is assigned to Upper Layer.
- Best use for sending DAW clocked / timed MIDI notes to hardware.
[4] same as above, but MIDI channel is assigned to channel 2.
- Editor General Settings area indicates MIDI channel 2 is assigned for Lower Layer.
- Best use for sending DAW clocked / timed MIDI notes to hardware.
[5] same as above, but MIDI channel is assigned to channel 3.
- This channel is the same as Performance MIDI channel in the Editor.
- If you change the output port destination to our Editor track, you can play both layers at the same time, even if they don’t share the same MIDI channel.
