Yes, another Jupiter-8 emulation, but this one's modeled on a worn-out unit (free beta)

Morphoice, first, your stuff sounds really good. I don't know how you do it, but these are great sounding plugins generally.
Checking out EightyEight, I noticed the MIDI CC Assignments are preset-based. I know some people prefer that, but I think Global is far more common. But if you have a synthesizer you use as a controller, like my System-8, it has enough parameters that map 1:1 to many software virtual analog synths, so a Global MIDI Learn/Assignment system makes far more sense.
May I suggest addressing this either one of two of ways:
1. You could make CC Assignments global. Solves my problem. However, people with limited controllers may suffer. But this is probably the most common.
2. Add a Global preference. Probably the most flexible. I assign once, those values get stored internally/externally somewhere, and I just set the Global preference. For me, CC assignments don't change. For people who want it to, they keep it off.
3. Add a MIDI CC "Lock" button. Similar to the option above, you could have an option to lock the assignments. I could create a default preset in my DAW with the assignments I like, or create my own INIT patch with those assignments, then enable the "Lock". As I change/browse/load presets, the MIDI assignment in place at the time of the lock overrides any assignment saved in the preset. TAL and a few others do this, so it's not uncommon.
Bonus points if you add the ability to import/export mappings. That way, if one does get messed up, and I need to quickly import my CC Assignments without messing up the current patch, I could.
Not a demand or anything. Just a friendly feature request that I think would benefit your entire line of plugins, and perhaps even yourself if you're a heavy user of controllers.

Good points, and well made. Global MIDI CC assignment (or at least a preference/lock for it) makes a lot of sense, especially for anyone driving these from a hardware controller. I'll keep it on the list.
Right now I'm building a SysEx bridge for the Super JX emulation, and there are a few things still to work out that feed into both it and EightyEight — pitch bend and MIDI learn among them. So this is very much live territory at the moment.
