PG-8X (2.0) released

[hurricaneaudiolab]

The AU is working on Sonoma.

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

Correct, not fully, however if you're in Logic, you can use PG-8X internal Logic .aupresets instead and patch recall works.

Right. This is what I said about my attempts to load presets back in March:

Loading presets seems very touch and go, at least in native Apple Silicon mode. Trying to import sysex banks into PG-8X causes my entire DAW to go *poof* in native with AU. I was able to very gingerly load a .PG8Xbank and then save individual presets into Studio One’s preset menu running Studio One in Rosetta2.

In Logic I use these exclusively and never mess with PG-8X's browser. Have had zero problems with projects recalling presets.

Hoping PG-8X gets a refresh before Rosetta goes away, which might be 2-4 years from now.

Hi everyone. I tried to install the PG-8X by following the instructions from the user manual, but it's not showing up in my Ableton Live 11 Suite. I have no idea what it is I'm doing wrong. I'm on a Mac Mini Intel Core, running Ventura 13.5.2

Any help or feedback would be much appreciated.

Hi,

I downloaded the Mac PG-8X VST from this website: https://sites.google.com/site/mlvst0/
And the (obsolete) UA version via https://www.dropbox.com/sh/e5oop1vf8vpl ... eezxa?dl=0

When I open Cubase 13, the PG-8X is in the "blocklist" with the message "No valid plugin". So I can't load it in Cubase.
In Logic X 10.79 I do get the plugin revalidated but as soon as I want to load a preset Logic shuts down.

Are these known issues and is there a workaround?

PG-8X is VST2 only. No PG-8X VST3 version available. Cubase 13 doesn't allow VST2 to run AFAIK.

In Logic X 10.79 I do get the plugin revalidated but as soon as I want to load a preset Logic shuts down.

You could try to run PG-8X VST2 with a wrapping plugin host like Kushview Element (public version is free) inside Cubase 13 and Logic 10.7.9.

Hey Martin? Any news for your loyal fanbase?

Hi, what about an macos ARM version? Is the source opened?

[EvilDragon]

Nope.

[Bobalou]

any pro toolers here care to give a little aid in the install of this? seemed to easy to think dropping PG-8X.vst file into the MacHD/Library/Audio/Plugins/VST would magically allow the synth to show up in my instruments list in PT's. thanks!

ProTools only works with AAX plugins, so that won't work. You need an AAX plugin that can host VSTs, like Blue Cat Patchwork.
