PG-8X

by Martin Lüders (ML-VST)

PG-8X interface

A free recreation of the Roland JX-8P with the PG-800 programmer panel on top, patch-compatible with the original hardware via sysex.

PG-8X models the Roland JX-8P as if it were permanently hooked up to a PG-800 programmer, with two DCOs, a 24 dB lowpass filter and up to 12-voice polyphony. It reads and writes JX-8P sysex data, so patches move between the plugin and real hardware. Version 2.0.13 comes as 32- and 64-bit Windows VST2, a Mac VST2 and a Mac standalone app, downloaded from the developer's Google Drive folder linked on his site.
