The Roland JP-80x0 Editor & Librarian is a dedicated software solution designed to control Roland JP-8000 and JP-8080 synthesizers directly from your digital audio workstation (DAW). This plugin integrates hardware management into your DAW environment, allowing you to edit and automate synthesizer parameters with the same ease as VST, AudioUnit, and AAX plugins. When you open a project, your patch settings are automatically recalled and sent to your hardware, ensuring full synchronization between your software session and the synthesizer. This seamless connection simplifies workflow, making hardware integration a natural part of your music production process.

The Roland JP-80x0 Editor & Librarian streamlines sound design and performance by enabling quick browsing and adjustment of synth parameters within your DAW. It supports automation of nearly every parameter, providing precise control over your sound directly from your session. The plugin also features a comprehensive librarian for managing patches and banks, allowing you to store, recall, and organize your sounds efficiently. Version 3 enhances usability with a resizable interface, retina graphics, and an onscreen keyboard with QWERTY input support. Additionally, the plugin responds to hardware knob movements, reflecting real-time changes on screen for an intuitive editing experience.

With support for multiple connected JP synths, the Editor & Librarian offers deep integration through MIDI and SysEx formats. It enables layering of patches, per-channel adjustments, and easy transfer of sounds between the plugin and hardware memory. Although it does not generate or transmit audio itself, it significantly reduces the time needed for patch management and parameter automation, improving the overall efficiency of your workflow. The software includes free lifetime updates and support, making it a reliable companion for anyone working with Roland JP-8000 or JP-8080 synthesizers.
