Thanks Cliff or your nice words about Oxium sound.clif321 wrote:For me this is a very good-sounding synth with a refreshingly easy-to-use design (though I still have to get my mind around le Masque). I purchased it a couple of days ago and I'm enjoying it a lot.
Here are a few small bugs I noticed in version 0.92:
1. If I have a preset loaded with "information" window showing and I then load a new preset that happens to open with the "information" window showing (for example, BA Heavy Rubber LtZ), the text in the "information" window does not update automatically when the new preset loads. Instead I have to separately press the information button after the new preset opens to make the text for the new preset replace the text for the previously loaded preset. Not a big deal but hopefully this can be fixed in the final version.
2. When I reopen the synth after using the "change skin" command, the bottom part of the background gui panel (on the left where the xils logo is and on the lower right side of the same panel) doesn't redraw but instead there is black space. Again, this is not a big deal because pressing one of the "keyboard/effects/information" buttons makes the lower part of the background panel redraw and fill in correctly. But it would be nice if this could be fixed. Please note that this happens to me only when I load the synth in savihost x64 for quasi-"standalone" programming and testing (for the record I use a Sony laptop running Win7 x64). In my main DAW (Sonar X1 x64), the Oxium gui redraws correctly when I change skins, so maybe this is a savihost problem and not an Oxium problem. (It would be nice, though, not to have to delete the synth in the DAW and then reopen it just to change skins, assuming that was feasible from a programming standpoint.)
3. In the "Feeling" menu there are two "Extreme Modulation" categories (the first one has an upper case "M" beginning the word "modulation" and the second has a lower case "m" beginning the word modulation). I'm guessing the presets in these categories need to be retagged with the same capitalization so these two categories will combine into one.
4. On the modulation pane, I would change the spelling of "AUTOWHA" to "AUTOWAH" -- which I think is the more common spelling for a wah-wah effect. (The Oxium v0.92 Manual actually spells it both ways in different places, so one way or another this should be corrected and made consistent.)
5. The manual (the version distributed with 0.92) also still has other small typos needing correction.
I hope this helps. As I said I am really enjoying this synth and wish the developers a big success with it.

Info Window : Yes its annoying. It will be fixed : Turnaround : Click in another tab, then reopen info tab. Thanks for the reminder
Skin: Yes atm, you have to relaunch Oxium to change skin, its the normal behaviour. As another behaviour would be an additional source of bugs, we prefer to really take time to adress this one. Dont expect anything soon.
Feeling : Double Extreme modulations entry : Yes we'll fix that.
Autowah and manual typos : Very minor but will be fixed too as time allows.
I must admit that I was a bot worried
Thanks for your input
