

You can automate numerous parameters using your DAW’s automation
system.



You can use more than one instance of JUP-8 V in a DAW project. In
standalone mode you can only use one at once.



You can route JUP-8 V’s audio outputs more creatively inside your DAW
using the DAW’s own audio routing system.
