1.3.2. Audio and MIDI settings: macOS
In an Apple Macintosh computer, the process is very similar to initial setup for Windows and
the menu is accessed in the same way. The difference is that macOS uses CoreAudio to
handle audio routing and the audio device selection is made in the second dropdown menu.
Apart from that, the options work the same way as described in the Windows section.
In the upper left corner, click and scroll down to select Audio Settings.
This will bring up a pop-up window where you can assign the JUP-8 V4's sound to a valid
audio output of your Mac.
In this picture, we’re using the Built-in Output of the Mac. Depending on what your audio
interface is, you can assign it to any output that is available in the Apple utility Audio MIDI
Setup, available in the Finder at Applications/Utilities.
1.3.2.1. Tempo
When you're operating in standalone mode, this controls the master clock speed of all
parameters whose SYNC button is on. For example, when the tempo here is set to 120 BPM
(beats per minute), an LFO or the Arpeggiator whose Rate is set to 1/4 (quarter note) will
synchronize to play 2 cycles or beats per second; if their Rate is set to 1/8 (eighth note) they
will play 4 cycles/beats per second, and so on.
You can change the tempo by clicking on the Tempo field and typing a number, or by
dragging from side to side.
1.3.3. Using JUP-8 V4 as an instrument plug-in in a DAW
JUP-8 V4 comes in VST, VST3, AU and AAX plug-in formats for use in all major DAW
software such as Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools, Digital Performer, Garage Band and so on. You
can load it as a plug-in instrument and its interface and settings work the same way as in
standalone mode, with a few differences:
• The instrument will now synchronize to your DAW’s host tempo/bpm rate, when
tempo is a factor (e.g., when a parameter is in SYNC mode).
• You can automate numerous parameters using your DAW’s automation system.
• You can use multiple instances of JUP-8 V4 in a DAW project. In standalone
mode, only one instance is available.
• Any additional audio effects your DAW has available may be used to process the
sound, including delay, chorus, filters, etc.
• You can route JUP-8 V4’s audio outputs freely inside your DAW using the DAW’s
own audio routing system.
