Virtual JV: free Roland JV-880 emulation

Hi EvilDragon, now that we have full patch edit, we could hope one day to have the option to save our own patches?

You can modify the patches however you want and save a preset in your DAW, for the time being. I'm not sure how high of a priority a whole user-side patch browser is for this one.

Thanks for all your work with this!

This might not be as high of a priority either, but it would be nice to see the names of the waveforms for each Tone, instead of the number in the field.
Also if possible, with left/right arrows to skim through them, or just a dropdown with the names in a list of some sort would be great.

Just want to second this, I'd love to see these improvements too.

Yeah this will change to a menu later but it is more involving to do, since the menu needs to be dynamic.

Note that all menus in the latest build are mousewheelable.

If you save your favourite patches with your DAW you can navigate them easily with the associated command.

I was talking about the waveforms in each of the four Tones within a patch, not a browser for patches.

Working great. Small issue (win11 standalone):

On my HD screen (1080x1920) the window is cut, so all patches below "THE STRINGS" are not reachable.

[EvilDragon]

Yeah the GUI needs 950 px of height, it is what it is for now.

[Chris-S]

On my laptop the windows is bigger as 1080px, so even when I set the task-bar to "auto-hide" the window does not fit on the screen. (DPI-scaling is set to 125%)

[EvilDragon]

Hold on, I just checked in code, the UI size is 820x900 px. Are you maybe using a few weeks old version? It used to be set to 1000 px while PythonBlue was adding parameters to Tone edit pages, but I went in and tweaked the layout of things, saving 100 px in the process.

It should be at least sort of manageable in 1080p at the current dimensions. Granted, if you use a DAW that has obnoxiously tall plugin wrappers (Studio One, PT, for example), that sucks.

whatever the minor issues are, this plug in is absolutely fantastic!

[Chris-S]

I'm using latest (as of yesterday).
When I set dpi to 100% (win11 setting) the window is ok, but everything else is much too small.

-> So the plug seems to be dpi-aware (automatically respecting the OS dpi setting).

Hi everyone, I've found difficult to edit the TVF envelope to get a proper decay curve. I'm not used to work with these Time-Level envelopes, but I've used a lot of hardware and never found such a difficult envelope to adjust. I also have a JD08 that is equivalent and it's easy to setup. Maybe the editor on the envelope have wrong parameters? (i've searched along the github code but everything seems fine for me).
And first stage time seems to retrig the audio in a weird way... Opening an issue at github.

I've check the Amp envelope and it works as expected.
Example:
Stage 1 50 - 100 : 50 time to attack, up to level 100
Stage 2 50 - 0 : 50 time to decay, down to level 0
50 is around 1 second.

Further testing over Tone layers reproduce the same behaviour. Pitch & Amp envelopes are right but Filter envelope doesn't work as expected. No matter the KF/Sens settings. Tested with a square wave shows the behaviour of the filter envelope in a time/amplitude scope, both the stepped attack & theunaffected signal of modifying sages 2, 3 & 4 in the envelope.

[EvilDragon]

I see the problem. Filter envelope levels have 64 added to their values by accident. Easy fix!

Nice to see how a bug is fixed in minutes while find & isolate it takes around 1 hour. I know it's not always the same, but that reminds me of that statement from Paul about a proper betatest team to create a good piece of software.

Thnaks Mario!

Apologies in advance if maybe someone asked about this already (maybe I did? ):

Is there a way to copy all settings from one Tone to another? Maybe it could be added to function with a right-click on a Tone's tab at the top.

[sqigls]

is it possible to sort presets alphabetically?
or is that the good ol mac bug? same behaviour on both M1 and M4 machines.

also is it possible the CPU hit can be reduced in future updates?

thank you!
