The ML-VST “aesthetic” plug-in’s design isn’t exactly based on the JX-8P synthesizer’s sound, but it is inspired by it. This equipment is similar to an “expansion” that permits a lot faster and easier edition for the sound of the JX-8P synthesizer and others, that is, the PG-800 offers complete control. Because the JX-8P only has a single-slider editing system, this is the most useful of all the editing options. And it is for this reason that the PG-8X was created.
Polyphony of up to 12 voices, two DCO sections with waveform selection of Sierra, Square, Pulse, and Noise, Mixer section that allows you to create a mix between the two DCO generators, sections for envelope control (ADSR), you’ll also have 24 dB Resonant LP Filter & HP Filter (3 stages), LFO Control, and many other functions to play with to find the right desired sound.
The Random button on the PG-8X is one of the more interesting features; it can help you locate a beginning point for finding the appropriate sound, and it’s also worth noting that the PG-8X is compatible with patches for the hardware, which means JX-8P SysEx files are accepted.
