Rêbernameya Bikarhêner a Kontrolkera MIDI ya soundforce SFC-8 Jupiter 8

Spas ji bo kirînêasing the SFC-8 MIDI controller. It means a lot to me that you put your trust in my product. For the last months I certainly put a considerable amount of energy and time in this product to bring to fruition. I hope you will have a great experience using this device and that it will inject some fun in your music. Many new features will be integrated in the future and I am interested to get your feedback and requests: nicolas@sound-force.nl

Sazkirin û destpêkirin:

a. Wekî cîhazek USB-MIDI
The SFC-8 is a class-compliant USB-MIDI device which means that no drivers are necessary.
The controller should directly be recognized by your computer when plugged-in. USB devices should preferably be connected directly to the computer USB ports. Please make sure that your USB ports/hubs are providing enough power to every single device in your configuration.
Ji bo bikaranîna kontrolkerê bi DAW û plugins Pêdivî ye hûn piştrast bin ku kontrolker di DAW-ya we de hatî saz kirin. Di hin DAW-an de, mînak Logicample, ew otomatîk e dema ku hûn wê têxin prizê û hûn ne hewce ne ku tiştek bikin. Di hinên din de, dibe ku hûn hewce bikin ku vebijarkek di tercîhan de çalak bikin. Ji bo hûragahiyan ji kerema xwe li rêbernameya DAW-a xwe binêrin.
Kontrolker bi xwerû peyamên MIDI CC dişîne û dikare were nexşandin. plugins fonksiyonên nexşeya MIDI-ya wan bi kar tînin. Ji bo ku hûn diyar bikin ka kîjan mînaka pêvekekê hûn dixwazin kontrol bikin, tenê MIDI-yê ber bi rêça rast ve bi rê ve bibin. Ev bi gelemperî bi gerandina (an tikandina) ji rêçek ber bi rêçek din ve û bi vî rengî danîna rêçek taybetî di "destê tomarkirinê" de ye. Di hin DAW-an de, hûn dikarin diyar bikin ka kîjan cîhazên MIDI li ser rêçek taybetî têne bikar anîn, da ku hûn dikarin li gorî cîhazê û carinan jî li gorî kanalê fîltre bikin. Ji kerema xwe ji bo hûrguliyên taybetî li rêbernameya bikarhênerê DAW-ya xwe binêrin.

b. Wekî amûrek DIN MIDI
To power the controller, connect the USB cable to either a USB host, such as a computer, or a USB power block, such as a smartphone charger. Connect the SFC-8 DIN-MIDI output to the MIDI input of other gear you would like to control. Connect any MIDI keyboard or sequencer to the SFC-8 DIN-MIDI input. The incoming messages will be forwarded to both the USB-MIDI and DIN-MIDI outputs, along with all the sliders, pots and switches messages of the SFC-8 front panel. This eliminates the needs for any MIDI merger or other accessories.
This also means that you could also use the SFC-8 as a MIDI to USB-MIDI interface if you don’t own one.

Pirsgirêkên USB-MIDI li ser MAC:

If the device turns on (red LEDs are on and you can change the switches positions) but it is not recognized by the computer, please go through this guide completely. Please also try another USB cable, USB port and if possible another computer or OS. Before getting in touch for support, please confirm that the device is sending out MIDI correctly (or not) using a MIDI monitor (in google Chrome you can use sepana panela kontrolê). If it does send MIDI messages as expected then the problem should be in the DAW and plugin configuration, make sure the controller is setup in your DAW and the plugin is mapped.

Loading configurations

There are 4 different configurations that can be saved and loaded on the controller. Those configurations allow the user to switch between plugins and synths during performance without the use of a computer. Every plugin or synth is different in terms of options and front panels, and especially hardware synths usually need specific MIDI CC mappings or even sysex implementations. Using the Chrome control panel app (see section 10), the user can save a configuration to 1 of the 4 slots and recalling them from the controller’s interface.

The controller comes out of the box with 4 default configurations:
– 1 = Arturia V4
– 2 = TAL-J-8
– 3 = TAL-J-8 with positive modulation only on the MOD sliders
– 4 = Roland Cloud Jupiter – 8

Other configurations available in the Control Panel as firmware v1.3:
– Roland Boutique JP-08
– Roland MKS-7

To load different configurations:

press and keep down the Shift button
one of the Arp Range switches will start blinking, this represents the currently selected configuration
to select and load another configuration press another Arp Range switches (from 1 to 4)
the controller will reboot quickly

To save configuration to a slot see section 10.

Plugin-specific informations

Şêweya panela pêşiyê ya kontrolkerê ji bo ku bi qasî gelek şêwazên Jupiter re li hev bike hatiye sêwirandin. plugins as possible. As there are differences between different plugin interfaces, specific modes are needed to make the controller compatible with each plugin. As firmware v1.3, 3 modes are available for the Arturia Jup-8 V4, TAL-J-8 and Roland. The controller is shipped with those 3 modes in the default configurations, see section 4.

a. Guhertina di navbera modên Arturia, TAL û Roland Cloud de
Ev prosedûra ji bo firmware v1.1 e:

Press and keep the shift button down, 3 LEDs will start blinking
Press and release once the ENV2 KEY FLW switch, the blinking LED will move up to the OFF position
Release the shift knob and the controller is now in TAL mode
To go back to Arturia mode, shift click the ENV2 KEY FLW switch again to move the blinking LED back down to the ON position.

Roland Cloud di firmware v1.1 de peyda nabe. Çend tişt di navbera her du modan de cûda ne. Bo nimûneample, some switches have different amount of positions. Some messages polarity needed to be inverted. For the user, this is not important, just make sure you are in the right mode for the right plugin.

Ev prosedûra ji bo firmware v1.3 e:
From firmware v1.3, the mode is saved with the configurations using the control panel. See section 4 and 10 to load and save configurations to 1 of the 4 slots in the controller’s memory. Arturia, TAL and Roland cloud modes are available as default out of the box, see section 4 to switch between them.

b. Arturia Jup-8 V4
From firmware 1.6, a greatly improved integration with the latest Arturia JUP-8 V (Vcollection 8/9/10/11) plugin can be accessed thanks to simple and easy to copy file(s). The controller can now receive sysex data from the plugin when presets or instances are changed in the DAW. On the controller side, the data is loaded to the interface and the controller can update the front panel. It can also request the sysex interface dump on demand if needed, this is needed when a DAW will not trigger certain events correctly. This integration works thanks to Arturia’s XML system that was implemented for their own line of MIDI controllers. This functionality won’t be available for other plugins unless developers
program special functions to implement this. Special thanks to Marie from Arturia for taking the time to explain me how it works.

Damezirandin:
First make sure that the SFC-8 is in the Arturia configuration (see section 4).

Taybetmendiyên DAW:
Switching instances happens differently in every DAW so please refer to your DAW’s manual and documentation to do this. Usually it involves selecting another track and making sure that the arm record function goes with it. Please note that switching tracks (using the Arm Recording switch) to open a new instance in Ableton is problematic. The previously opened GUI is not properly closed and thus the functions in the plugin framework are not triggered correctly when a new instance is opened. This is not a problem related to Arturia software or Sound Force controllers. The easy workaround for this is to firstly switch tracks, then to manually request the sysex data dump from the plugin to the controller with the KEY MODE WHOLE switch.

Kombînasyona kilîtên taybetî:
From the controller, you can change the presets:

backward: KEY MODE DUAL switch
forward: KEY MODE SPLIT switch

You can also manually request the sysex dump from the plugin to the controller with the KEY MODE WHOLE switch. This is especially handy if you notice that the sysex dump is not triggering when switching tracks/instances, for exampli Abletonê wekî ku li jor hatî behs kirin.

Pot behavior options:
When the received pot data from the plugin differs from the actual pot positions on the controller, discontinuities can appear if this is not dealt with. Similar to Ableton take over modes, they are 3 options that can be set while holding the SHIFT button down and pressing the RANGE switch to cycle through the 3 options:

Jump: the controller will send instantly its new physical slider value and the slider in the plugin will do a jump
Pick-up: the controller will only send new slider values after the physical slider has reached the plugin slider position. The LEDs on top of the SHIFT and USER switches will blink to let you if you need to go down (SHIFT blinks) or up (USER blinks)
Scaling: the controller will rescale the values sent to the plugin elastically so that a move on the controller matches the range of a move on the plugin control. Only smooth transitions are created. As soon as the control reaches one extremities (0 or 127), the scale is back to the normal 1:1 proportion.

To switch between those behaviors hold SHIFT pressed. The VCO SYNC LEDs will start to blink. Pressing the VCO SYNC switch you can switch between the 3 options:
– VCO2 LED = Jump
– OFF LED = Pick-up
– VCO1 LED = Scaling.
Ev tercîh di kontrolkerê de tê hilanîn û dema ku cîhaz tê girêdan tê barkirin.

PAN SPREAD:
The SFC-8 BAL rotary pot has been assigned to JUP-8V PAN SPREAD.

c. TAL-J-8
TAL plugins don’t have a mapping preset system but the MIDI mapping is saved within the plugin presets. You can find a mapped default preset on the support page, save/ overwrite that preset as your default preset. But please note, and this is from the TAL-J-8 manual: The plug-in normally keeps the mapping when changing the preset as long as the preset does not have its own mapping. To always avoid losing the mapping when changing presets, you can turn on the LOCK option on the top-right section of the plugin. Another important option to turn on is the PANEL option, this makes sure that both panel can be MIDI-controlled based on the panel currently selected (upper or lower).
From firmware 1.7, a greatly improved integration with the latest TAL J-8 1.7.2 (or higher) plugin can be accessed thanks to Patrick from TAL. Make sure that the SFC-8 is in the TAL configuration (see section 4), load the mapped preset and activate LOCK as explained above, then turn on the “SFC 8 MIDI CONTROLLER” option in the plugin menu. The controller can now receive CC data from the plugin when presets or instances are changed in the DAW. On the controller side, the data is loaded to the interface and the controller can update the front panel. It can also request the interface data on demand if needed, this is necessary when a DAW will not trigger certain events correctly. This functionality won’t be available for other plugins unless developers program special functions to implement this. Special thanks to Patrick from TAL for his work on this integration.

Ev tercîh di kontrolkerê de tê hilanîn û dema ku cîhaz tê girêdan tê barkirin.
Modulation sliders:
TAL plugins have few modulation sliders that have bipolar modulation control: VCF ENV MOD, VCF LFO MOD, VCF KEY FLW, VCA LFO MOD, VCO MODULATOR LFO MOD and VCO MODULATOR ENV1 MOD. You can spot those with the yellow line and 10/-10 range in the plugin interface. In Firmware V1.1 in TAL mode, the SFC-8 is only sending MIDI CCs from 63 to 127 in order to control only the positive modulation range. So the inverted/negative range is not reachable with the controller. But from Firmware V1.3, TAL mode is now sending 0-127 on all sliders and a TAL UNIPOLAR MOD ONLY have been added to the firmware and control panel. Out of the box, the TAL mode with bipolar controls of the MOD sliders is saved in configuration 2. And the TAL mod with positive modulation only is in configuration 3.

Guhêrbarên bendkirina VCO:
Please note that the VCO1/2 bend ON/OFF switches are different in the TAL plugin interface.
It is in this case a 3-position switch: VCO1 – BOTH – VCO2. So you can never turn it off completely using the switches, to do that please push down the VCO BEND slider. 1 of the VCO BEND switch will always stay on to reflect the orking of a real physical 3-positon toggle switch. Please note that by default both of the VCO BEND switches are on at start-up, but you can change that in a preset, see section 8. The CC number for the VCO BEND 3- positon switch can be changed in the control panel using the SW26 VCO 2 BEND ON/OFF value.

d. Roland Cloud Jupiter-8
The Roland Cloud Jupiter is available from firmware version 1.3. It is by default in configuration 4 out-of-the-box. Simply shift-click ARP RANGE 3 to acces it.
Pêveka Roland nexşeyek MIDI ya sabît û taybet heye. Dema ku hûn Roland Cloud Jupiter-8 pro hildibijêrinfile Di panela kontrolê de hemî CC bi nirxên pêwîst têne dagirtin û her kontrola SFC-8 ya bikêrhatî ji bo tiştek tê veqetandin.

Some of the Roland Cloud Jupiter-8 parameters are left unassigned:
BEND RANGE: CC 41
BEND GAIN: CC 49
VCA TONE: CC69
EFFECT TYPE: CC70
DELAY TYPE: CC72
REVERB TYPE: CC73
If you want to use them anyway, you can use leftovers SFC-8 controls to control them. You can recognize the unused SFC-8 controls in the control panel, as they are marked with CC 127. Just change from 127 to your desired CC and save it again.

Most of the mapping is very logical and the interface behavior has been custom made to fit the plugin with the SFC-8 front panel as the basis. Still a few assignments might be less obvious for example:

Roland Cloud Jupiter-8 parameter	Corresponding physical SFC-8 Control
EFFECT TONE	MASTER TUNE
EFFECT DEPTH	DETUNE
DEMA DENGÎ	VOL pot
BEVXWNE BELXWNE	BAL pot
REVERB TIME	USER1 pot
ASTA REVERB	USER2 pot
LFO TRIG ENV	LFO SYNC switch
TEMPO SYNC	ARP RATE INT EXT switch

Ji kerema xwe, hûn dikarin her CC-ya ku hûn dixwazin biguherînin da ku li gorî hewcedariyên we be. Tenê ji bîr mekin ku pêveka Roland tenê dê li hember CC-yên orîjînal ên sabît bertek nîşan bide. Ger hûn dixwazin navnîşa CC-yan ji nû ve saz bikin, tenê Panela Kontrolê di geroka xwe de ji nû ve bar bikin û Roland Cloud Jupiter-8 pro hilbijêrin.file dîsa.

Bişûndebangkirin

When the synth/plugin parameters and the physical controller parameters are in all different positions, it is sometimes preferable to “push” the state of the controller to the plugin interface. That way nothing is jumping around when you start moving the controls and it helps getting the controller and plugin synced up when you get starting. Recall is reading every control and sending a pack of CC messages to the plugin.
To launch the recall function, double press the “SHIFT” switch on the bottom right side in the controller. The full front panel LEDs will do an animated cycle.

Preset system

The SFC-8 has 5 banks of 4 presets to save and load your sounds. It is built using the Arpeggiator mode and range switches. It doesn’t offer the most practical interface but it is done on purpose to avoid the need of dedicated switches and screen to keep the controller more compact.

a. Pêşwext tê barkirin

Press and release the load switch
1 of the Arpeggiator mode LEDs will blink, this represents the selected bank
You can now change the bank by pressing any of the Arp modes (from OFF to Rand)
Now you can select 1 of the 4 presets with the Arp Range switches (from 1 to 4)
The preset will load and the full interface will perform a LED light cycle
As a preset is loaded, the full interface is sent out as a packet of MIDI messages to sync the plugin or hardware synth with the controller, this is similar to the recall function

You can cancel the operation anytime by pressing and releasing the load switch again.
Ji kerema xwe not bikin ku heke pêşmîhenga bijartî vala be, LED-ên ARP-ê ji 4 heta OFF-ê zindî dibin da ku nîşan bidin ku pêşmîheng nehatiye barkirin.

b. Pêşdîtinekê tomar bike

Press and release the save switch
1 of the Arpeggiator mode LEDs will blink, this represents the selected bank
You can now change the bank by pressing any of the Arp modes (from OFF to Rand)
Now you can select 1 of the 4 presets with the Arp Range switches (from 1 to 4)
The preset will be saved. The controller needs 1 second to do the save and afterwards the full interface will perform a LED light cycle

You can cancel the operation anytime by pressing and releasing the save switch again.

c. Pêşdîtinekê paqij bike

Press and release both the save and load switches
1 of the Arpeggiator mode LEDs will blink fast, this represents the selected bank
You can change the bank by pressing any of the Arp modes (from OFF to Rand)
Now you can select 1 of the 4 presets with the Arp Range switches (from 1 to 4)
The preset will be cleared. The controller needs 1 second and afterwards the range LEDs will perform a fast LED light cycle twice

You can cancel the operation anytime by pressing and releasing the load switch again.

d. Behavior after loading a preset
When loading a preset, the user will be in a situation where most of the controller sliders and pots are in a different position then the MIDI data just loaded from the preset and sent to either a plugin or a hardware synth. The SFC-8 has 3 modes to define the behavior of the controller when a slider or pot is moved after loading a preset. There are 3 options:

Helperkîn:
When a slider/pot is moved, the controller will send instantly sends its new physical slider/ pot value and the control in the plugin/synth will do a discontinuous jump.
Berguhkê rake:
The controller will only send new slider/pot values after the physical control has reached the plugin or synth slider/pot position. The LEDs Save/Lower and Load/Upper switches will blink to let you know if you need to go lower (Lower blinks) or higher (Upper blinks). After the controller silder/pot has reached the plugin/synth position, then the controller will start to send the new messages.
Scaling:
The controller will rescale the values sent to the plugin elastically so that a move on the controller matches the range of a move on the plugin/synth control. Only smooth transitions are created. As soon as the control reaches one extremities (0 or 127), the scale is back to the normal 1:1 proportion.

To switch between the options:

press and keep down the shift button
press and release the VCO Sync switch
VCO2 LED blinking = Jump
OFF LED blinking = Pick-up
VCO1 LED blinking = Scaling

Default start-up state of the controller interface

To change the default start-up state of the controller, you can change the Preset 1 in the Of Bank. After it is saved for the first time, it will be loaded by default at start-up. It’s loaded but not sent out at start-up, if you’d like to send it out as a packet use the recall function by double pressing the shift switch.

Hardware specific information

a. JP-08 implementation
Ji bo ku hûn kontrolkerê bi JP-08 re bikar bînin, panela kontrolê bikar bînin da ku JP-08 pro tomar bikinfile in your desired configuration slot (1 to 4). The interface and CC map is then automatically changed to fit the JP-08 parameters list and MIDI map as well as possible.
In the control panel, you can see some SFC-8 controls CC’d are set to 127. Those are leftovers inactive controls that are not used by the JP-08. If you move an inactive control LEDs will flash to let you know. By default, all the controls with CC number 127 won’t be sending any messages. If you still want to use them, for exampbi amûrek din a MIDI/USB-ê re, CC-ê biguherînin tiştek din wê hingê 127 û peyamên MIDI CC-ê wê hingê werin şandin. Bawer bikin ku hûn hejmarên CC-ê li derveyî nexşeya MIDI-ya sabît a JP-08 hildibijêrin, wekî din hûn ê hevgirtinê bikin.
The JP-08 VCO2 WAVE selection is sine, saw, pulse, low sine, low saw, low pulse. But the controller has a 4 position switches including an extra noise waveform. The noise wave has been left out and you can use the VCO2 RANGE switch (norm or low) to switch between the 6 JP-08 options, with the switch on “low” you can access the low waveforms and with the switch on “norm” you can access the normal waveforms.
Some JP-08 parameters were not present in the SFC-8 interface and some leftover controls have been assigned to them:

Roland J:-08 parameter	Corresponding physical SFC-8 Control
Qoro	Range preset buttons: • 1 = Chorus off • 2 to 4 = Chorus modes 1, 2, 3
Asta derengmayînê	Vol rotary pot
Demê derengmayînê	Bal rotary pot
Bersiva derengmayînê	Master tune rotary pot
Bend range	VCO Bend slide pot

b. MKS-7 implementation
When using the MKS-7 configuration, the interface is fitted automatically to the MKS-7 sysex implementation as found in its manual. Sysex messages are sent out of the USB and DIN- MIDI ports and only the controls present in the MKS-7 are active.
Guhertina kanala MIDI dihêle hûn 3 blokên cûda kontrol bikin. Ji bo guhertina kanalê, guhêrbarên Range 1-3 bikar bînin:

Panela kontrolê

The Control Panel is a Google-Chrome app that allows you to save CC maps and modes to 1 of the 4 configurations slots in the controller memory. Once it is saved, you can load them without a computer as explained in section 8.

As firmware v1.3, the SFC-8 has 5 modes:

Arturia JUP-8 V4
TAL J-8
Roland Cloud Jupiter-8
Roland Boutique JP-08
Roland MKS-7

Each mode has a different interface behavior that will fit the destination plugin or hardware as much as possible. In some modes, a predefined CC map or sysex implementation is automatically loaded.
In the modes using CC messages, you can click on each control and change the CC message number. In some situations, certain CCs are highjacked by DAWs and hard routed to specific functions, so some edits are necessary.

Meriv çawa panela kontrolê bikar tîne:

First plug in your SFC-8
Paşan panela kontrolê veke Di guhertoya herî dawî ya Google Chrome de
The device should be recognized and the message “Connected to SFC-8” will be displayed on the left middle container. The firmware version will also be displayed.
Choose your desired mode in the “plugin or hardware type” dropdown menu
If desired click on a switch/pot/slider in the front panel image and change its CC number in the left field. Only do this when necessary.
When you are done with your changes, click “Save to config #”

You have 4 different configurations available. To load configurations from the controller on the fly, see section 8.
