Repro-5 public beta (Repro V1.1)

[Garrincha]

And I don't really want to do another vintage poly synth beyond Diva and Repro-5, at least not as of today.

I'm glad you did at least the Prophet 5. That was propably the most legendary poly-synth that wasn't covered well enough by other makers. Diva covers Roland good enough for me (I do not miss my Jupiter-6 anymore after getting Diva) and for Oberheim there's Sonic Projects OP-X Pro. But there was no really good P5-emulation. Thanks a lot for making this real!

Make a nice FM synth u-he style ..no need to be modelled on anything. U-he have no dedicated FM Synth and other ones out there are hopelessly outdated with small GUI and a workflows that require a lot of studying.

Hi team U-he!

I have been testing Repro-5 with MPE, but it gives strange Mod Wheel behaviour in both Logic and Bitwig (on Mac) too.
It seems that it is not accepting mod wheel over multiple MIDI channels, it seems like it's only accepting one channel for all notes. In bitwig this results to no mod wheel at all, in Logic this results to erratic (single) modwheel action that jumps around trying to match all channels.

Please have a look at this! This synth would be so great if it would play nicely with my linnstrument!

Bitwig doesn't store modwheel (cc1) in multiple channels anyways, so how would you use that?

Are you sure about that? Well, anyhow the behaviour it is showing right now in MPE mode is not as it should be.. it does not react to CC1 at all..

Which one of the VST-versions (VST2/32, VST2/64, VST3/32, VST3/64) is most likely to be most stable in Cubase 9.5 Pro (64bit) in Windows 10 Pro (64bit)?

If you are using a 64bit OS and host, then you should be using the 64bit plugins. Both, VST2 and VST3 of Repro are stable to work with. If you want more flexible MIDI control (e.g. for easily assigning CCs to parameters), I'd recommend using the VST2 version.

Don't really know if it's intended or not, but I can change the noise label to feedback by clicking repeatedly on it (front panel). It doesn't work consistently, though. AFAIK the jumper on tweaks page is the one that's supposed to change the option.

Whoopsie. True, it should only be switchable from the tweaks page, thanks for spotting. Basti just fixed it internally, so should be good in the next version.

Well, in Cubase 9.5 he would have to install 64-bit anyway, since it doesn't support 32-bit anymore

Since each system is different, I'd say you would try for yourself. Over here, they have been perfectly stable (were in 9.0 and still are in 9.5). I'm using the VST3 version, because in Cubase I think it's more comfortable. Windows 7 x64

One major drawback of the Prophet 5 compard to other analog polysynths like Jupiter-8 and several others seems to be that there is no polyphonic Glide/portamento. In Repro-5 it seems to be the same way and Glide only seems to work with the Unison mode.

Would there be a way to add polyphonic Glide/portamento to Repro-5? Currently i dioo not see an option at the Tweak page.

FWIW in the poly mode of Synapse Audio The Legend Glide works as poly portamento and IMO it works quite nicely there. Same about e.g. th Roland Jupiter 8 plugin and Arturia Jup-8. In the Jupiter-8 each of the notes of a chord could glide independenty which was awesome. The Jupiter-8 was the only of the "big" analog polysynths i owned myself so far.

Actually from the analog polysynths the Prophet 5 seemed to be one of the few without poly portamento.

Well i am someone who likes proper emulations of analog synths but at the same time i am also someone who thinks that certain features like e.g. poly portamento/glide is one that really makes sense with a plugin version of the Prophet 5 even if it was not found in the real thing. At least it could be offered as an option at the tweaks page.

...and that's likely how it's gonna happen, but not for v1.0, because I would assume u-he wants Repro-5 to shine in comparisons to the actual analog hardware, so retaining the behavior of the original is important, instead of producing misleading demos.

Yep.

Well there would habe been at least two ways having an option for both the original behavior and also poly glide. One would be to set glide amount to 0 for poly patches and second adding a switch to the tweaks page to have the original behavior or poly glide.
