PG-8X (2.0) released

[prodigal_sounds]

This sounds fantastic, and thanks to the awesome GUI it is easy to tweak which is a big plus for a VST.

One sour note was that it locked up SONAR solid while i was messing around with the controls, tweaking a patch at random... hopefully that's going to be a rare occurrence, otherwise I won't have the guts to use it in a real project.

Kudos.

Dear all, dear Martin,

I installed the update of PG-8X on Mac 10.9 / Ableton Live 9.5.
Unfortunately I am facing the problem that every access to the presets followed
by the opening of the file window Live 9.5 crashes completely.

Can you help on this issue ?

Jedes mal wenn ich versuche auf Presets zuzugreifen oder abzuspeichern, stürzt in dem Moment wenn sich das Datei-Browserfenster öffnet Live vollständig ab.

Ich hatte vor einigen Monaten eine ältere Version von PG8X bereits installiert
und damals das gleiche Problem.

Gibt es da eine Lösung ?

Regards / Grüße
Thomas "redwave" Hermann

ok- so here is the big question- can it talk to a Jx8P? I have one that I would LOVE to tweak via the UI.

Programming the JX-8P without the separate programmer sucks, so your wish makes sense

I wish it were easier to find a pg-800 on ebay...

Oh, finally? ...

Thank you so much, Martin!

Have you posted a WTB ad on KVR?

Have you tried this MIDI editor: https://www.squest.com/Products/MidiQue ... index.html Stupid American Pig? It also functions as a VST plugin.

Wow, their Kiwi 106 controller looks so great

I have had a hanging note, meanwhile. But only once so far...

Me too, several times.

Can you describe in more detail in which situation that occurred? Which Operating system, host are you using, and what were you doing when the hanging notes occurred?

Thanks,
Martin

Yes, it can. Click on the 'MIDI' button, and then set the SEND SYSEX to ON. Make sure the PG-8X is on the same MIDI channel as the hardware, and that your host is not filtering out Sysex.

Likewise, the PG-8X responds to Sysex sent from a JX-8P, e.g. when using the pg-800.

Cheers,
Martin

Congratulation for the final version. Superb synth I use it in so many situation. Everything is spot on.

Thank you very much.

Regards

BTW is it possible to set a default preset bank?

Yes, you can define it in the PG-8X.ini file. If the file was not created automatically, just create one by hand, in the same directory where the plugin lives.

Cheers,
Martin

Could you, please, give me more info? Is it Win or Mac, 32 or 64, and which controls were creating the problem. Can you reproduce it?

Thanks,
Martin
