v1.0.6JV-880 VST v1.0.61 file
Roland JV-880 emulation with a native MPC skin: BANKS browser, one-page PLAY, tone editors.
Requirements
- A first-generation MPC OS standalone device (32-bit ARM, like the Force, MPC Live / Live II, One, X and Key 61). The installer refuses anything else. Newer models are untested.
- Root shell access (SSH) to the device. Stock MPC OS doesn't offer this; you need a modded unit.
- Tested on MPC OS with a Force. Installing plugins this way is unofficial: back up first, use at your own risk.
Install (scripted)
- Unzip, then copy the whole folder to the device, e.g.
scp -r JV-880-1.0.6 root@<device-ip>:/tmp/ - Run it:
ssh root@<device-ip> sh /tmp/JV-880-1.0.6/install.sh
The installer checks the device, stops MPC (save your project first), copies

Its screen appears in the plugin view, and the Q-Links follow the page.

v1.0.4JV-880 VST v1.0.41 file
Fixes loading on MPC OS 2.x (glibc 2.32): the 1.0.3 build bound pthread and dladdr calls to GLIBC_2.34, which MPC OS 2.x lacks. This build needs only GLIBC_2.17. The installer also works on Hakai-enabled systems (service
inmusic-mpcinstead ofacvs). No other plugin changes; your ROMs are kept.Roland JV-880 emulation with a native MPC skin: BANKS browser, one-page PLAY, tone editors.
