I just want to thank you for this really cool synth. Also, big thanks to all the folks that worked on supplying sysex banks and patches. My goodness there are tons of awesome presets in there..

I am still investigating, but noticed so far, that this only happens if "Input Monitoring" is on. Once you disable that, it seems to behave ok.Dandruff wrote:I forgot to mention the last step to reproduce: "stop before note end".martin_l wrote:Thanks, I will have a look.
I guess this has to do something with the "buffer flushing" stuff because REAPER doesn't send a note-off in this case (with my REAPER settings). But other synths stop fine here (even without that note-off).
The strange thing is, that if it is ON, the plugin actually does not receive any Note-Off events or even OnActivate(false) calls, which could trigger switching off playing notes.
Cheers,
Martin

Well, I have to say that this is not decided yet. It is basically a time issue for me.beely wrote:Yes, he does.fischkopf wrote:Do you plan on doing a JX-10/MKS-70 emulation one day?
On the other hand, I would say that you can already cover most ground of the MKS-70, through the 12 voice polyphony, or through layering two instances. What is missing is only the Cross fade modes and the Chase modes (which probably you could simulate with some clever MIDI scripting)

Sorry - yeah, it's something in the past you've certainly indicated you want to do - which is not a promise, of course!martin_l wrote:Well, I have to say that this is not decided yet. It is basically a time issue for me.
Yes, and I was indeed thinking of looking at converting the JX-10 patches into two PG-8X instances and whatever else was needed, but put that down the priorities if indeed something better was going to come along (one day!)martin_l wrote:On the other hand, I would say that you can already cover most ground of the MKS-70, through the 12 voice polyphony, or through layering two instances.

Thanks for your work on this great sounding synth!
I have a project that used an older version and, after updating the plugin, the sound is different. I'm guessing that is due to preset banks from the old version 1.0x not being compatible. You mentioned in your first post that older presets can be converted to version 2. What's the easiest/fastest way to do that?

Which version did you have previously? If it was the 1.02 version, then you can get the version 1.04 from here:emCar wrote:Thanks for your work on this great sounding synth!

If you use this version, instead of the 1.02, you can send patches as SYSEX. If your host passes SYSEX to the next plugin (reaper does, Herman Seib's Minihost does...) then you can chain them up, make sure they are on the same MIDI channel, and enable JX-8P Sysex on the old PG-8X.
Once you selected a patch, click that grey button in the middle of the GUI. That will trigger the SYSEX. The patch should then be transferred to the new version.
Let me know if you run into trouble.
Cheers,
Martin

Thank you for this great free jxp8 clone
I tried it in the early days but didn't think much of it at that time.
Saw that it got updated today and gave it a second chance and i love it
And that you can use jxp8 sysex directly is great too
