Roland JP-80×0 Editor – Insert Plug-in in Live

VST2 (legacy)

You have the option to use the legacy VST2 format if you so wish to do. We would recommend to use VST3 for parameter automation simplicity and it has modern SDK (developer framework) under the hood.

You can find the VST2 version from VST -> AURA Plugins folder.

Device ID check

First we have to match the Editor Device ID with what you’ve set in your JP. In our case it is 17. You can check how yours is set from JP-8000 or JP-8080 Config guide if you skipped that part.

Editor MIDI output port

Once you set the MIDI output port, our Editor will make a ping / request call to the hardware unit. If MIDI ports [1] are properly set, Editor display [2] will say “Data request completed!” or “Click Sync Data from HW to continue”.
