It works fine here but I am on Windows 8.1. Does it do the same thing with an Init preset?tomheavybeats wrote:no midi assignments at all, fresh track on new session, tried with just the polykb's keyboard and still no sound. is your 3.0.4 on Windows 10 working?
I would uninstall/reinstall PolyKB and then see if it works.

Got this from Xils regarding issue above (don't fully understand but worked):
We've got a problem during our generation script when building the 3.0.4 version (in the case of iLok/windows)
https://www.xils-lab.com/download_files ... p_V304.exe
Just download and install it again (no need for uninstalling anything)

Still the same small bug this has had for years. When using a midi controller no indication of where u are actually moving to. When using the mouse no problem little number box pops up. A bit of consistency either have one or the other not half of one and half of the other. Why can't the the little number box popup when using a midi controller but it does with the mouse?.

Version 3.5 new features :
Make each note write it's own story : The PATH function
The Voice XY and Space XY offer PER VOICE modulation since version II. Wich means each note can be different, in the stereo field, as well as for it's 4 modulation targets.
In version 3.5, you can now freely draw a modulation PATH for each note in the Voice & Space XY squares. You can create some precise sweeps of all kinds, or very fast Filter/Envelope/Oscillators modulations for each note. Or everything inbetween, and get a wild range of new sounds, that you can taylor in the deepest detail to adapt them to context, and even … invent new playing techniques.
More effects : A natural sounding reverb has been added to the existing effects.
New GUI/UI : The GUI has been revamped : No more knob shadows wich made the serigraphies sometimes difficult to read, and the Tab selector has been redrawn from scratch, as well as the tabs content. Synthesis blocks are now clearly separated by grey lines to make the unit more intuitive to use.
New Preset manager : With hundreds to thousands of presets on board, content management is quickly becoming a keypoint of a fully enjoyable experience when playing synthesizers. Following Stix and the Xils 4, PolyKB 3.5 has inherited the new Xils One Window integrated Preset Manager : Find the right preset in seconds, create your own tags; multiselection/multitagging, export/import & manage banks, projects, or selections : Everything is there to make your work easier, faster, and more productive.
We also added plethora of small details : like new modulations targets, or fixing a number of small bugs : The list would be too long, but here again, a lot of time was dedicated to transform your musical experience with the PolyKB 3.5 into a totally flawless immersion into the sound.'

Very pleased with the update.
Tasteful improvements to the gui, also on a functional level (eg. the tabs as "buttons" rather than being controlled from the fader which I was never able to catch with the mouse on 1st try).
The new modulation targets are are super useful in my case and will allow the use of an expression pedal.
Also a new hidden feature is "Settings > Misc > Midi expression as aftertouch", for anyone (such as myself) with an expression pedal connected to a keyboard with no aftertouch capabilities.
Both things were added to XILS4 as well.
Big surprise, the knobs keep turning even if the mouse pointer goes out the plugin window, I happened to ask about this to Xavier months ago but I wasn't expecting it in this update.
Very cool
edit: video of the new path feature
