Is it a bug or a feature?

Sometimes I look at the code and realize it does things I had no idea it could do. In this case the text width function doesn't discount the color codes (a bug) but it does nonetheless otherwise work as intended.

... that is, assuming I had ever intended for it to work at all.

Xhip's 'factory bank' and 'synth drums 1.e' created by aciddose during Xhip development.

Provided in Xhip 8 .xhipbank format. Not compatible with older versions of the plug-in.

Includes a variety of presets originating way back in 2003 as well as a few contributed presets.

The factory bank has been edited and updated over the years for different versions of the plug-in.

The drum bank was created specifically for version 8 of the plug-in and attempts to implement every GM2 drum-sound.

Soundbanks for XHip by Richard Semper

Drums1, Hats, Kicks, Drumkit1 - Used in my OSC85 entry 'Hopelessly Romantic' using Drum Mode.
Load bank into an instance of XHip - activate drum mode and set velocity control to taste.

RS XHip Bank 1 - Melodic patches I created during One-Synth Challenge.
Adjust Velocity and voices settings in control for best effect with some patches (these settings do not save with the patch)

Enjoy :)

after reading your positive review i dont understand your 7/10 rating.

Lack of unison and a few pops/clicks while editing is what ruined it. Unison is somewhat easy to get over because I can easily do some stereo work in my DAW but the pops and clicks really do it in. Who honestly likes to hear a random *POP!* right in the middle of their track? Those two brought it down to 7/10. If unison was added I would rate 8/10. Fix the pops and clicks and I would rate 9/10. Fix both and you got 10/10.

If you could identify how to reproduce any clicks or pops and check that they also occur in the alpha version and report them to me, I'd appreciate it a lot. I have never experienced any clicks or pops during normal use of the current release of Xhip. It does produce some pops when changing specific parameters such as waveform, filter mode and others but "random" isn't accurate when describing those.

The latest alpha version has fixed the pops generated when switching oscillator waveforms.

Actually, I am very surprised, it sounds excellent. Great filters :) But it comes at a price, just like Diva it consumes a lot of CPU as soon as you use unison :o.

I was just playing around with the slow brass preset, there are no clicks at all. I guess it depends on certain settings like attack and release velocity, but that applies to almost every synth.

Some of the presets are set way too loud.

Most likely. As I said this is a steal for being a free synth. I got my pops when I was editing the filter cutoff. Then again I was an a different computer. I'll try it out again and see how it goes.

Seems that sometimes there is a click when turning on unison first, then adding supersaw. When you turn the unison knob again, like from 4 to 5 and then back to 4, then the click is gone.

Those sorts of bugs are also things that I'd really appreciate being tested on the latest alpha and reported if they have not yet been fixed.

If you have any issues you should consider trying the alpha version available at http://xhip.net/alpha/ and reporting any issues you also find in that newer version.

Unison in Xhip is a "true" unison - it simply activates a multiple number of voices and applies detune to them. These are complete voices including 100% of the processing such as filters, waveshaper, envelopes, LFOs and so on. The CPU time required is exactly equal to that required for an equal number of voices. The voice counter will display 64 voices when using 16 polyphony and x4 unison, for example.

Oscillator unison is only supported for the ramp waveform but I hope to allow it on every waveform and provide more functionality in future releases.

The links above lead to some outdated site...

Which links are those?

If you mean the alpha page, it was last updated "14 Feb 2015 19:10".

Both the Xhip and Aciddose links led to this site last night:

http://ww2.presetexchange.com/?folio=435329566&bkt=10279&gkwrf=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kvraudio.com%2Fproduct%2Fxhip-by-aciddose.

Oddly, now only the Aciddose link does...

Yes. It means that the domain name xhip.net remains the only available. The domain presetexchange.com is now left, so returned back for sale by the Domain Marketplace for any new interested future owner, xhip.net remaining the only available for the Aciddose users and visitors.

Therefore Aciddose should now update the developer link in the current KVR product page, simply. He will probably do after having read our two comments.

Actually it seems someone picked up the domain and this is a nasty parked page with redirects to advertisers.

One would hope they would "fix" the mangled corpse of the domain name system by limiting the number of registrations one person/corporation can make using some sort of sliding pricing scale but they seem to have decided to launch a zombie army of fresh TLDs instead.

That is odd actually, I suppose I must have never bothered to update the developer link. I'm certain the product page link was working though as I regularly get redirects from it to http://xhip.net/synth/.

Thanks for the heads-up! Unfortunately KVR doesn't allow no URL on the "developer" section so I suppose this can just remain the link to the main Xhip site.

Is there a feedback thread? According to this page there is only one thread on Xhip, which is from 2013...

You can always contact me via PM or email if you like. The alpha page on the site describes that and I've tried to list as many issues as I'm aware of there.

As for any issues in the previous (7) version, these won't ever be "fixed" as they are until the next release unless they're major, such as a crash or similar. I haven't heard any reports of such issues. If that sort of issue did exist it would be possible for me to fix it, but these sort of "fixes" would just be back-patches to the old version while the same issues are most likely no longer present in the alpha.

Hey, what's about this "7.0" stuff? Talking about version history of course.

(Simplified reply: original was 30 Aug 2015).

The version number system I use: gamma-beta-alpha-revision. When the Xhip KVR product page was initially created it used "0.x". Gamma versions are separate series (I.e; star-trek vs. the next generation vs. ...) and so for Xhip will always be "gamma 0" and so that leading digit was dropped. Revision = minor fixes, no changes. Alpha = new features and other tweaks, only released for testing. Beta = significant changes, these are the main "stable" versions that last years with only bug-fixes and no major changes. Gamma = Some other new synthesizer, after Xhip.
