Can you also reproduce typing "c" in search field doesn't work in Reaper?

Great plugin BTW! Couple of suggestions:

* Would be great to click somewhere to get a list of all banks, so that we don't need to mash prev-next buttons like madmen.
* Would be awesome if mousewheel actually changed dropdown menu values
* Mousewheel on knobs should jump in single value rather than 10 value steps
* Would be super cool to see the velocity curve rather than just the number
* Being able to search waveforms by text would also be handy
* Editing more than one source simultaneously would also be great. Suggestion: Ctrl+clicking the EDIT SOURCE buttons links them for editing. Regular mouse drag on a control would do relative adjustment, Alt+drag would set all editable sources to the param value of the currently displayed source

Thank you Nils, I'll gladly help with testing (I almost wept when I've selected Arrangement patch and lo and behold, THAT string sound emerged)

I can. It switches to common edit screen, but search field remains visible. It also happens with "e" but not other characters. Punctuation (like ";") causes weird/garbled message in patch browser window, but it stays on play screen.

and those are great suggestions for improving K1v

I have an idea regarding non-working key so expect a fix on the weekend.

The LFO sound is a preset, iC-8 Arrangment :)

It sounds very close to me (maybe identical). That means that you've nailed (or are very close with) waveform/sample playback engine and envelopes.

I've found a bug, though (at least at my system, Win 10 x64): re-opening the GUI in Ableton Live 10 (v10.1.15) makes Live crash, with this message:
also experienced this, opened fine when loading the plugin, crashed when trying to open the gui again.

sounds great so looking forward to it working, thank you!

You used the Joystick, right?

Class. Runs absolutely stable in FL Studio. GUI is nice and sharp. Is the K5000 coming next? That would be awesome.

didn't Camel Audio do that?

I have the Kawai PH-50 'mini K1' same sound engine in smaller 49 key hardware. Great to hear the sounds in vst, where modern effects can be quickly added! 8)

Cameleon5000? Doesn't quite sound like K5000, honestly. They were tremendously inspired by it, though.

Wow Thank you very much. Having a nice couple days here, loaded up some TX81Z patches into Aurora FM last night was up till 2 in the morning lol. Then today I find this, feels like reliving my youth.
One question is cc64 sustain supposed to work? Not working here 32bit reaper and plugin, although I may be overlooking a setting?
