    lol i think he actually meant transexuals, not people who like trance.

    But since we talking Trance, the early 90s stuff was real good -- some would even argue it was better than the later stuff. :wink:

    You can't get out of Performance mode. The JP is always in Performance mode.

    Correct. The best way to browse individual patches is to pick a performance/patch, then click on 'single' key mode, and then either select individually from the browser, or use the increment/decrement buttons.To better understand how patches and performances work on the JP8K, you can view p.48 of the original manual.

    Sounds amazing and the patches are great - wish there was a sound interface matching the dac of that era to have a perfect recreation

    Glad we cleared that up.
    ...but...
    Sex was also pretty good in the late 90s through the early 2ks, after that it kinda fell off imo
    and yeah the early stuff was better than the later stuff.

    I have both firmware for JP8000/8080, but it doesn’t seem to accept the 8080 binary since it gives an error but the interface has an extra button with the features of that model only accessible via that firmware and the one that works is the 8000 which removes the voice modulation tab, I’m not asking for any firmware but I’m wondering if maybe this plugin needs some more updates so we can use it like the actual hardware it’s based on and use the vocoder…

    I think these are what you are looking for and were posted in the je-8086-support chat by one of the main TUS team on Discord:
    jvpre1.jpg

    Also some ARP Tips & Tricks which were posted in chat although not tested myself:
    Getting the ARP to function:
    Your midi channel needs to be set to channel 3 in your DAW
    If split mode is active the arp will only works for the lower layer
    Linking the filters on both layers
    Make sure both layers are selected by double clicking the layer buttons till both are lit
    Getting both layers to play from a single midi
    Set your midi to channel 3 OR you can just set the MIDI channel of both layers to 1
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    This comment was added by another user:
    Or you can just set the MIDI channel of both layers to 1.

    I can't get the 8080 fw to work either, apparently it only works in 8000 mode for now. Every YT video has it in Keyboard mode whether it's the public beta or the pre-release private one.

    It’s still great in JP8000 mode, but I’ll have to wait for an update and I might return to the Arturia version since it’s been a while
