PG8X (inspired by the JX8P): new beta version uploaded

[martin_l]

Sorry. I simply mixed up the filenames. The MacVST contained the windows .dll while the Win32 contained the .vst file.

I have now uploaded the corrected files.

Sorry about that.

Thanks for this VSTi!!!

2.0.10 x64

When not be able to write ini file (because on Win8.1 you usually put the DLLs in "Program Files/Common Files/VST Plugins" folder which is write protected) it should write it to user folder automatically.

Can you just create it by hand?

Your suggestion of writing to a user folder has the slight problem that the plugin would not know when starting up where to look (unless you use the Windows registry, which I would like to avoid).

In fact, once the file is written and you are happy with the content, it should not be changes anymore.

I personally have a VST folder in my user directory, where I keep most plugins, and I simply added that the VST search path of the DAW.

Yes, of course.

Just created one with

Code: Select all

DEFAULT_NUM_VOICES = 12
GLOBAL_GAIN = NORMAL
IMMEDIATE_WRITE = FALSE
LOCK = FALSE
MIDI_THRU = FALSE
POLY_ON_GUI = NEW
EXTENDED_PB = FALSE
PRESETDIR = ~/Desktop
SEND_PARAM_SYSEX = FALSE
SEND_PROG_SYSEX = FALSE

and now the "Num Voices" fader is not displayed anymore in settings. It this wanted behaviour?

That is controlled by the "POLY_ON_GUI" value. If you set it to FALSE, or delete it, it will be in the Settings panel. If you set it "TRUE", "NEW" (or even "OLD") it will be on the main GUI.

Once you are happy with the settings, I recommend to set LOCK=TRUE, so that it will not be overwritten by changes you make in a project.

Ok, got it.

Ok. Thanks!

Feature request for REAPER users:

Would be cool if

effVendorSpecific(effGetParamDisplay, parm, buf, val)
and
effVendorSpecific(effString2Parameter, parm, buf, val)

from http://www.reaper.fm/sdk/vst/vst_ext.php could be implemented.

Congratulations to the new version!
It is a fantastic synth.

I have two questions:
- The new version is without any soundbanks. Where can I get good soundbanks for the synth?
- At the moment I can change a program by clicking on the program arrows. So I had to make many clicks to go to
program 64 for example. Would it be possible in a next version to have a preset browser that shows all programs
in one window?

[Hanz Meyzer]

Hm,

I see no parameter value if moving a handle, in the new version. Also, I don't know, but I totally prefer the sound of the old version (may 2015)... Can there be a switch to have back exact that kind of sound ?

[Yeager]

Left or right click on the preset number ?

Hi Martin,

I was reading the manual.pdf and was reading the SETTINGS section, the thing I wanted to know about was the OCTAVE STRETCH.
The manual started very strong:

OCTAVE STRETCH: the

..... but I have the feeling you left me hanging there

Hi Yeager,
many thanks for your tip!

Hi,

what exactly do you mean that you do not see the value when moving a handle? Does it not display the value in the main readout? Which host are you using?

As for the sound, could you please be more specific? I did not change anything dramatic at the sound engine, mainly slight adjustments to the parameters, i.e. by adjusting the sliders you should be able to get the same sound as before.

Martin

I set it to TRUE and the result me me laugh out loud

And switched back immediately ....

POLY_ON_GUI=NEW will be what you want... (if you want it on the main GUI)
