I'd love to see a progress report on the PG-8X port to iPlug2.

A weekly report would be nice

Any kind of heads up since January would be nice, considering it's been nothing but false starts since 2016.

Any chance of this coming to Mac as AU?

I'm sure it's been said already but I'm willing to pay to get this ported to AU and M1 compatible. Wonder what the cost would be? Should we start a gofundme?

How many hundreds of hours did this guy put into making this product? How many more may be required? Maybe he doesn't have the time to port this, or doesn't have the ability to do so on anyone else's timetable and it'll get done when it gets done, or maybe porting it never gets done. Maybe the developer has more important things to do with his time. And that's ok. It was a free synth released as a labor of love. This wasn't a paid product from some big company that abandoned it. Martin is under no obligation to port this to Apple silicon or maintain it or open source it or sell it to Arturia. If it happens, be happy and appreciative. If he asks for donations or financial assistance to get it done, then consider donating.

But if he wants to leave it as is, that's his right. He made it. As a community of creators, we should be respectful of that and understand.

That's a very good comment and fair enough. I was just hoping he would respond with a "no" or a "yes, but"... and if there's anything that could get the ball rolling.

One thing is certain. When it goes open source, discoDSP will put his logo on it and be happy to sell it to us for $79

I wish this would work on Ventura, it's my favorite soft synth

The AU is working on Sonoma.

Any change to see a arm build of this awesome plugin?

Not fully. Patch loading hasn't worked in years. I think that's why Martin discontinued the AU version.

This would be internally to the PG-8X .AU (?).

However, my DAW is able to recall any patch that was edited in a project and saved within Cubase. I have the PG-8X AU working inside of Plogue's Bidule as a VST 3 Instrument within Cubase 12 on a M1 Macbook under Sonoma.

I just mention this because, although crippled, there is be a work-around (of sorts) for recalling saved presets (provided you put the work in to develop a library of your own making) within the DAW you work with.

PG-8X (2.0) released
