Not sure, but I think V1.05 is available here:

It was in the year 2002. The 24 year old 'kid' who had written the audio engine was me.

That is for the 8000, not the 8080

There is a link to the 8080 on previous page

Somehow, Markus missing the joke, or replying deadpan pretending to miss the joke (I don't know which it is) made it a lot more endearing.

Thank you for your replies.

Sorry, I can only find the firmware for the JP 8000.

You mentioned the previous page and the link for the firmware for the JP 8080, but I can't find that page.

Under Part 3 in the license agreement it says:

3. Restrictions:
"You may not make copies of the Roland Product and distribute or transfer them to third parties. You may not transfer the Roland Product to another computer or distribute it over a data network. You may not modify, modify, reverse engineer, or in any way disclose the source code of any Roland Product. You may not sell, loan, rent, transfer, transfer to third parties, and/or distribute the Roland Product for profit, or create or distribute derivative works based on or based on any part of the Roland Product. You may not directly or indirectly export or distribute Roland Products abroad."

So good luck to you if Roland discover that you use this software.
I will never use any of their Cracked hardware unlock keys for these synths and use Arturia Jup 8000V and Viper instead.

where can I get the plugin from the usual suspects

To be clear, I have no intention of doing any business, selling anything, using the code, or anything else...

My question here was related to the next VST from Usual Suspects.

My question was that I found it strange that the firmware for the JP 8000 and not the JP 8080 was available on the Roland website.

I don't quite understand what you mean.

My question here was basically about the availability of the firmware for the JP 8000 and not the JP 8080.

So to be clear, I absolutely do not intend to use the firmware for the JP 8080 to do anything illegal.

I use the Arturia version and the excellent vst Viper.

Oh. Sorry.
The reply was not meant as an attack on you :hug:
It was more of a reply to the link that Matt67 posted and what is included in the rules for the use of those files :)

I just forgot to remove your post in my quote before i posted it.

Using an emulator does not violate any of what the Roland license agreement states. It's legally the same thing as loading the firmware onto a JP-8080. The firmware code is not being modified or distributed by a third party. There have already been numerous cases proving that emulators are 100% legal and don't violate laws as the company's intellectual property is not being modified or distributed.
