Patrick's new baby... TAL- J-8X

[audiojunkie]

From one of my favourite song designers, who played a part in this one:

rsp

See, I LOVE these sounds!! I just want further clarification on the copy protection.

Here's what's officially posted:

How does our registration process work?

The plug-in will ask for your license key when you open the user interface. Registration and use of the plug-ins are possible even if the TAL server is unavailable or you are offline.

From time to time the plug-ins connect to the server to verify the license and register the device, if necessary. If the server cannot be reached, nothing happens. This means you can continue using the plug-ins even in the future, whether or not the TAL server still exists.

The license can be registered on up to four different computers. You can remove registered computers at any time by logging into your account.

This is different than what was previously posted about the challenge response copy protection he was using. Did he change it? If so, I'm going to be really happy. But I want to be sure. (I will admit that it looks like he might have, so if it's true, it will be good news and I will start buying again).

I know this thread has gotten long.
up to this morning the previous FAQ was there.
I said to him a few people had concerns and I would suggest you clarify (not change, clarify) what you meant.
He did.
And this is what you are reading now.
rsp

Well, I'd say hurrah to you!! I am really happy with the clarification! I had stopped buying TAL-Software products after he originally changed his copy protection. It's good that he clarified, and I think that he will win back his customers again. Myself included! It's just too bad that it wasn't better clarified previously, because there is a lot more I would have bought between then and now if that had been clarified. I guess I can look forward to getting caught back up now.

Thanks for getting that clarification done!

Waited years for a quality 8P emulation. I'll download the demo later and try it out.

Might be time to move on from Roland Cloud. Have a sunk cost after spending hundreds on licence keys, but the ACB stuff is a major CPU hog on Mac.

This is quite close to PG-800, but the accent color on sliders should be orange

[SAGG]

Why would it NOT be true?

I think if you think of your own questions for a bit, you will figure out the answers yourself.
rsp

That's the thing that makes KVR much worse than it should be. All these tinfoil-hat scared little peoples, scared to breathe if there's no connection anymore, barely touching any grass once they don't get a reception. First there has to be an IP connection, somewhat of a life comes after. Like full-stop miserable and paltry.

And this Cleenex OS bunch are the worst offenders, truly. It's quite probably those kind of people who take shit in foil wrapping paper, fold it neatly, save it just in case they might need it in 10 years, who knows what's gonna happen. Or to A/B with the shit they took a year after, who knows. Just to be sure. Or for light corksniffing purposes between the two "specimens", what have you, I donno.. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they did. Them are funky kind.

It's not obvious to me how the colours are applied. You get one text string for a section. The first hex pair is for alpha, then three more for RGB of the section, which affects the header and the sliders. You can add more hex pairs and this affects the slider colour now, but it's not independent from the header colour. If you make the header section grey, by the default the slider colour goes red. Not really sure what's going on - it's unintuitive, and I couldn't reliably determine what's going on here - hence why I asked if this is documented anywhere (it's not in the manual). I seem to recall some discussion of this feature when it was introduced in earlier plugins - maybe for the Alpha Juno?

How can I adjust the resonance in the EQ within the FX section without having to type it in manually?

Doesn't the mousewheel work for you doing that?
rsp

nope, it changes db per octave. but it does with lowshelf

I guess you don't have Tal -EQ
he has done it cleverly .. the mousewheel can be used to change different things depending on what you hover over.
Hover over the node itself.

For MTS-ESP support alone!

How many juno (hardware) synth exist ? I see so much juno vst !?

This isn't a Juno.

go to: https://tal-software.com/products/tal-eq
and scroll down to the workflow section and watch the video.
I think the eq in j8x similarly (well not the dynamics part of course)
Workflow

The workflow is intuitive and simple. Double-click to create a new EQ band. Hold down SHIFT while creating a band to enable dynamics immediately. Use the mouse and mouse wheel to set the position and adjust Q, or use the knobs at the bottom, or enter values directly with the keyboard. Multi-selection is also possible to edit multiple bands in one step.
Double-click a band or use the X icon to delete it. Adjust the slope of the bell curve to create a flat-top bell filter, a flat-top bandpass, or a steeper shelf, low-pass, or high-pass filter. Most filters support a slope from 12dB up to 96dB per octave.

Hmmmmm.......... Shall I comment on this loser's troll bait or should I do the right thing...???

Well, I've been here since before you were probably in diapers, so "I'm" not leaving. But if you hate it so bad, you are certainly welcome to leave. Don't let the door hit you on the butt on the way out. Pfffft.... ...been here less than a month and thinks he knows everything..

Have a nice day!!

It works with all filter types using the mouse wheel except for low cut and high cut. With those, it only changes the dB per octave. I’m probably doing something wrong or it might be a bug.

Now back to our regularly scheduled topic..............TAL-J8X!!!

oh I see what you mean now.
maybe a bug or by design.. ask him.
rsp

edit: I just checked TAL-EQ.. it behaves just like this too.. so I am thinking it is by design.

So does this have the original factory presets by Eric Persing?
