Thank you Martin.

This is fantastic. I already downloaded it and am having lots of fun exploring all my old JX-8P patches from years gone by. :tu:

Thanks Martin

Although I was hoping for reintroduced full support of AU with version 2 ;)

So I'll have to wait before I can donate...

That thing sounds so pleasant and realistic, amazing :) Way better than Hive, Sylenth, Dune, Hybrid, and all those $xxx plugins etc. :tu: Pads like straight from an 80s record. Perfect for old-skool sounds.
I used to have the JX-8P when I was young, but it sounded much more muted and duller, maybe it was broken and I did not know :?

The GUI is also nice and big, with readouts even I can easily read :) Good to see people who actually think about and know what they are doing :tu:

Congratulations on the release. I'm playing around with it now and it sounds great! I never played a Jx-8p but i have had many roland synths and the sound really reminds of my MKS-50/Alpha Juno. I don't regret selling that one now. :)

ps: I think something is up with the portamento but I'm not sure. It's like the Portamento on/off button sometimes doesn't work and portamento is always on.

I have had a hanging note, meanwhile. But only once so far...

What's up with the pitch on the mod wheel in the init patch? I can't find the assignment anywhere D:

Oh wait, I figured it out; it's the "MWHL INIT" fader in the LFO. Turn it down. :tu:

That's the LF'O. Set the third slider in the LFO section to zero.

Oh, you have figured it out yourself meanwhile :)

I just saved a preset, then realized the "MWHL INIT" fader had returned to its maximum setting. Also, several things in the "Settings" panel snapped back to default values: "NUM VOICES", "LFO TRIGGER", "UNISON DETUNE". Anyone else experience this when saving presets?

^ Oh wait, that was saved as a sysex patch. Works fine as a PG-8X preset. Man, I'm battin' a thousand today :P

Any chance we can load factory JX-8P sysex patches created by Eric Persing and Dan DeSouza?

If so.....are those patches available anywhere online?

Me too, several times.

PG-8X can load sysex (.syx) files.

Thanks DD. Nice work.

@KVR - shame I can't follow the 'Banks' page as though it was a regular forum topic.
