PG8X (inspired by the JX8P): new beta version uploaded

[OutCider]

Just going to try the 64 bit version. It certainly looks the part.
Is there a zip or rar file with all the presets in? Or do I have to download them one at a time from dropbox?

Couple of notes:

- The display font is temporary. The blue font you saw on all the screenshots turned out to be unsuitable because D and 0 and B and 8 couldnt be distinguished. Martin has therefore used one he made himself for now.

- The membrane buttons are currently one pixelrow too high. I have already informed Martin about this and im sure it will be corrected shortly.

- The LEDs need more work. They work well for the darker background but they definitely stink on the brighter background. I will have to adapt that.

(I havent see the skin 'in action' myself until Martin posted the new DLL.)

you can download all the contents of a folder as a zip
there's a drop-down arrow in all dropbox folder that allow you
to download the contents as a zip
or save to your dropbox account.

Must have missed it, thanks for that

Hmmm. Only able to load 32 patches, rotating banks doesn't work no more.

which system and which host?

Never mind, i was trying to upload 2 x 32 banks of pg8x files when they are already written as 1 - 32 and not 1-32 / 33 - 64.

Possible bug:

when pressing RANDOM to get a random patch, VCA level always goes to 100%. I agree that it shouldn't randomize VCA level, but it should keep it at the current value, rather than always bumping it up to 100%.

It was not a bug, but intended this way. but you have a good point. I will take the VCA level out of the randomization.

Cheers,

There's a x64 version..?

At the moment, the new versions (PC and MAC VST 32/64) of the PG8X are in beta. The link was posted some posts earlier.

Once the beta is bug free, I will replace the original web page with the new version.

Noted, and thank you sir.

I'm looking forward to trying it.

Well, just had a quick play with this (Mac VST) and I *really* like it.

Sounds great, and the gui is really nice too, perfect size for me, will definitely play this one a bunch I think...

It would be a nice project to get the JX10 presets into a dual PG8X + FX form in, eg something like Logic with track stacks, or Live racks or something.

updated my two soundbanks into one set of 64 patches, these load from patch #1 - #64 and are in both PG8X and Sysex file format, a pdf listing the patches is also included in the zip.
