Version 2.0 of the KXOMNI-600 is available.

I have worked for several months on two new modules, an oscillator
and a wavform generator.
Benefitting from the knowledge acquired during this development,
I began at the beginning of June a new version of my KXOMN plugin.

I use modules written in C++ to complete the SE modules, KXOMNI-600 uses 8 additional SEM modules.
By using a gnu IDE (code:: bloks) and by optimizing my code, I have gained approximately from 10 to 20%
on the total CPU use of the KXOMNI (according to the presets).

Here the list of the innovations of version 2.0:

>>> filter KX LPF:
You finally will be able to adjust resonance as you like …
It now supports the noise modulation.
The adjustment of the cut-off frequency is more precise (5v=440hz, 6v=880hz).
That makes it possible to play with the filter auto-oscillation.
It have 4 new modes:
-HQ, the filter auto-oscillation are generated without audible distortion
and his level is stable ( 55hz to 14080hz).
- HQS, identical mode, addition of a distortion on the auto-oscillation.
- HQM, resonance are regulated around the auto-oscillation limit,
that allows a finer adjustment of resonance.
- HP, simple Hi Pass 4 poles without resonance.
The old resonance modes, off, Lo, Hi, Hi+, SE, Lo+, are identical of the 1.30 version except the adjustment of the cutoff….
The mode "off" makes it possible to save CPU if you do not use resonance.

>>> SE filter was removed and replaced by a bypass, if you do not want to use the filter that saves CPU.

>>>new curves of the envelope generators of Vcf and the oscillators
The curves have a mode L which is a compression of the envelope generator signal,
the Eg level is reached more quickly and it is maintained longer.

>>> mode L also exists for Vca ("comp" parameter).

>>> the oscillator waveshapers incorporates a bypass and the Exp-Inv++ curve was optimized (CPU saving).

>>>the oscillator filters have mode HQM (see above) and also a bypass (CPU saving).
The oscillator "Hz" of KXMOD section modulates this filter instead of modulating Vcf.

>>> the oscillator "Hz" wavform can be changed and it can directly modulate the 4 oscillators and their filters.

>>>Now, you can replace the vu-meters by an oscilloscope, analyzers of frequency, Leds.

>>>the fx section now has a distortion with an feedback adjustment and an ON/OFF(CPU saving).

Corrective measures:
>>>the Vca velocity control is regulated now gradually.
>>> the Gain value is limited… from 0.4 to 1.6.

/*************************/

Important notes !
The filename is V2-KXOMNI-U3.dll, I changed it to enable you to install the 2.0 version without erasing the 1.30 version file.
The adjustment of the cutoff is different compared to the version 1.30,
if you load your old presets, it will be necessary for you to readjust the cutoff.

Of-course, I changed my SEM modules… do not hesitate to inform me if you find some bugs !!!
By safety I will make a version with my modules compiled with Borland Free.

THE PLUGIN KXOMNI-600 IS A FREEWARE… THE ONLY POSSIBLE THING THAT I ASK YOU IN RETURN ,
IF YOU LIKE THIS PLUG, IS TO MAKE SOME PUBLICITY ABOUT IT ON THE NET FORUMS.

Care to post a snapshot or an URL to your page? I'd like to get some more info about this synth as it's not listed on KVR.

Hi,

I will post a submit to the KVR but if this plug is not in the KVR list is that KVR will class this plug in the SE plugin...

This plug have not the SE basic sound !

I havn't the SE sound, I have my sound because this plug use my SEM modules write in C++.
All kvr user think that the SE plugins have the same sound, I don't think that.

But I will post a submit for this plug...

hi Xavier,

sounds absolutely fantastic, as you said, it has a totally different sound from the usual
SE creations !
the only thing i noticed is slight crackling upon changing presets in orion platinum 7 and
considerable cpu load on some presets.
this leads me to believe you can still optimise code somewhat.
am i right ?

damn, are all your synths so great sounding ?
i must go and download some more then !

thanx for this beast

thanks,you do make quality plugins.

i've not had chance to play with them as much as i'd like,so i must check this one out.

Hi,

I know is CPU use (4 osc+4 filters+2waveshaper+4 eg shaper+4 Eg,2 lfo, kxmod system...and many modulations), I will make a soundbank for the slow configs and you can use the "mono=CPU !" mode (force all presets to monophonic mode)

With a p4 3 ghz the preset one is around 30% (peak Eg) to 20% sustain with a chord of 6 notes.

Hi xavier,

thanx for the info...yes I have about the same cpu load, thing is of course you need other
instruments besides this one in a song, so better keep the cpu load as low as possible...

thanx again tho, it sounds really really great

Thank you very much Xavier!! I happen to really like your synths. CPU is high, but I'll happily give the new version a try. This was a huge synth and honestly I hadn't quite wrapped my mind around it yet, but I'll gladly let you know of any problems. I think you have some of the best sounding SE synths available; terribly underrated... CHEERS!

hi,
A musician Nyl Auster have make some demos :

ver 2.0 (just the kxomni fx)

Hi,

I'm sorry but I found a little automation bug:
kxmod leds was automated in Cubase.

You can download the 2.01 version now to correct this bug.

hmmmm
do they?

Hi,

I do not think that all KVR users think that! Fortunately for all SE developers. But much of VSTI users think that! Therefore I insist on the the kxomni sound quality. The English is not my natural language and my ideas are not always well expressed.
It's too short...

So write whole plug in C++ then no S.E. label. Why use S.E. at all if you are ashamed of it?

nice thank you Xavier already posted the link on samplestation and tritonton forum

Good question, I'm not a professionnal developer, I'm a musician who havn't any time to build a native VSTI "de A jusqu'à Z"...
I just make some simply modules in C++ because I must do it for this product.

The KXOMNI-600 VER 2.0 is avaliable now !![Freeware]
