User's Manual

3.2.1.3. Poly (Polyphony control)
JUP-8 V4 allows a maximum polyphony (voices that can be playing at the same time) of 16
voices. A higher voice count is also more CPU-intensive, so this menu gives you the option
to limit the number of voices to ease the workload on your computer. This setting is stored
independently with each preset, so you can limit one preset to 4 voices and another to 16,
depending on the needs of the preset.
To change the number of available voices, put VOICE ASSIGN into either of the POLY modes,
click on the Poly field in right sidebar's Settings tab and scroll to your selection. You can set
the polyphony from Mono to 16 voices. A check mark indicates the currently selected Poly
setting.
This setting has no effect when the VOICE ASSIGN mode is set to SOLO or UNI.
3.2.2. MIDI Controllers
This tab lets you select your MIDI controller, either a generic MIDI controller, or you can
select one of Arturia's keyboards to exploit its special features.
But the main function here is to let you set up almost any parameter of the JUP-8 V4 to be
controlled in real time from a MIDI source, either hardware or software. The MIDI tab of
the right sidebar displays a list of all of the JUP-8 V4's controls that are already mapped to
MIDI continuous controller (CC) commands (see the illustration at the head of this section).
All controls on the top panel that are highlighted in RED have been assigned to CCs already;
if you click on one, its CC will be highlighted in the list. You can edit the Minimum and
Maximum values you want each control to have (though they can't be outside the limits of
that control, for example an envelope decay can't be longer than 46500 ms, but it can be
shorter).
To map an additional parameter to a CC:
All unassigned controls, on the top panel or in the Advanced panel, that are highlighted in
purple on the screen, can be mapped to a CC.
Click on any control (fader, knob or switch icon), then send the CC message you want this
parameter to be controlled by from your hardware (or DAW sequencer) to the JUP-8 V4. The
controller will be automatically linked to the destination parameter, and the control image
will turn red.
• You won't be able to modify any settings as long as you're in this mode. Click
any other tab of the right sidebar, or close the right sidebar to leave this mode.
• To save your configuration, click on the dropdown menu next to MIDI Config.
This lets you save, delete, import, export and recall different MIDI CC setups.
For example, you may have one configuration for playing live, and another for
playing in the studio. The Default and Empty sets cannot be deleted.
