Introducing Jupiter 8 Morph
Welcome to Jupiter 8 Morph
This manual will help you get acquainted with your software.
NOTE: JUPITER 8 MORPH REQUIRES CONNECTION TO A
ROLAND JUPITER 8 FITTED WITH AN ENCORE MIDI INTERFACE.
THIS PLUGIN PROVIDES CONTROL OF THE JUPITER 8 ONLY,
AND DOES NOT PRODUCE ANY SOUND OF ITS OWN
Main Features
Jupiter 8 Morph provides MIDI automation of all front panel controls of a Jupiter 8,
as well as an advanced librarian, that allows for patch naming, author attribution, and
categorization of Jupiter 8 patches. Jupiter 8 Morph provides management of both a
library of patches and of the Jupiter 8’s patch memory.
Sysex dumps can be imported and exported and the library can also be saved, shared
and loaded with any other user, using Jupiter 8 Morph. The Sysex dumps are 100%
compatible with any Jupiter 8 with the Encore Electronics JP8MK MIDI Retrot.
The control of the Jupiter 8 has been carefully designed with a custom MIDI scheduler
in order to manage the load on the Jupiter’s Z80 processor. All control parameters are
mappable to your DAW and the plugin will accept full speed modulation, but provides
control at a speed that the Jupiter 8 can keep up with.

Chapter 2
Getting Started
The email that you receive will contain a link to the plugin. The le will contain all of the
versions for your operating system, OSX or Windows. 32 bit and 64 bit plugins are available.
On Windows you will receive a VST2, VST3 and a Standalone EXE le. For OSX, you will
receive an AU plugin and a Standalone DMG le. There will also be a copy of this manual
in PDF format. If you lose your copy of the les, please contact us at https://godlike.com.
au/index.php?id=contact and we will be hapy to send you another copy.
Installation and Activation
Copy the plugin les into your plugin directory.
If you have not already done so, install the iLok licence manager. https://www.ilok.
com/#!license-manager. When license manager is installed, sign into your iLok account, or
create a new account. iLok accounts can be created for free.
When you load up your DAW (or if you run the Standalone), you will be prompted for the
iLok verication. If you have been issued a license already, activate it in the iLok License
manager, or otherwise you can activate a 30 day trial. with the code that came with the email.
The trial is fully featured, but the plugin will expire after 30 days. You only need 1 license,
as you can freely move it between any number of computers, iLok’s or iLok Cloud. You can
run multiple instances of the plugin (if you have more than 1 Jupiter 8) or one machine, but
you will need an additional license if you wish to run the plugin on more than 1 machine at
the same time.
Setting Things Up
Jupiter 8 Morph communicates with your Jupiter 8 over MIDI. Attach a MIDI cable from
the MIDI out of your MIDI Interface to the MIDI In of the Encore JP8MK, and connect a
cable from the MIDI out of the Encore JP8MK to the input of your MIDI interface.
Both cables are required for communication.

Getting Started
2-2
Normally the JP8MK retransmit’s all MIDI received at the MIDI in to the MIDI Out (it
is a MIDI thru port), and the JP8MK transmits its own data as well. Jupiter 8 Morph will
manage this MIDI data and stop MIDI data being retransmitted back to your DAW.
MIDI information will only be received (for Sysex Dumps, for example), while the Control
Mode button is switched off. When this is off, none of the panel controls will tranmit data
to the Jupiter 8.
We need to enable communication with the Jupiter 8. There are 2 ways to accomplish this.
The rst way is direct communication. This is required for the standalone version. In
windows, ensure that the MIDI in and out is disabled in your DAW. Jupiter 8 Morph
will take over these MIDI ports, and unfortunately Windows will not MIDI ports to be
addressed by 2 different applications at the same time.
Load up the Jupiter 8 plugin and under the MIDI menu and set the MIDI in, control and
out devices. The MIDI control device should be set to the same as your MIDI out device.
Select your output channel. Notes will be sent from Jupiter 8 Morph on this channel. If
you wish to use Presets, or Splits, you will need to ensure MIDI input is set to all channels,
in which case Jupiter 8 Morph will send notes received on Channel 2 to whatever channel
you have selected in the output, and whatever notes are received on channel 1 to the output
channel - 1.
