As I was saying, I still need to do some fine calibrations. But, I should mention that also on the hardware, only dynamics setting 2 goes to zero volume for zero velocity. In fact, only dynamics 2 is linear, both others are more or less quadratic with different offsets, i.e. base volume at minimal velocity.AdmiralQuality wrote:Seems to be an issue with the Dynamics setting.
Try the 74 ORGAN 2 patch to demo this. When I set the VCA Dynamics to 3, then play the slowest velocity I can (presumably MIDI velocity 1), I can still hear the note. But when I set it to 2 and play MIDI velocity 1, I hear nothing. Yet when I set it to 1 and play MIDI velocity 1, it's louder as you'd expect.
It sounds almost like Dynamics positions 2 and 3 are swapped. Some more playing with it reveals that this seems to be the case with the other 2 Dynamics settings as well.
The velocity response also feels kind of "off" (in an exaggerated way) to me right across the board. But I don't have a JX-8P to compare it to. I don't remember them being that hard to play with good dynamics though. Feels a bit wrong.
Please, have a look in the MIDI panel. You will find a slider called Preset Saving Behaviour (names on the GUI are still rubbish...). Set it to ON and it will behave as you want. We had plenty of discussion about this here in this thread, and there were enough people wanting it one or the other way, that I ended up implementing both.And it still doesn't keep changes to program state the way a VST is supposed to. You're not supposed to have to explicitly hit a "write" button to keep changes to a program. (If you were, the host itself would offer the Write button. And a one-slider VST like the AGain example wouldn't be possible, as it would never save its program state. Right?)
I know, it's a bit hard to find all these things without a proper manual, but I first want to get the functionality sorted out, then the GUI, and then the manual.
Cheers,

It was a long time since I had so much fun going through "new" (old…) sounds.
